Abstract:
A communication method and system converges a 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology. The system and method may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Embodiments provide a scheme for efficiently operating an UP connection of a session in case where a terminal has a plurality of sessions in a mobile communication system, such as a 5G system, having a network structure in which an AMF for mobility management and an SMF for session management are separated from each other. A terminal (UE) can optimize a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling message, and can perform data transmission/reception with low latency.

Claim (Index 10):
An access and mobility management function (AMF) entity in a wireless communication system, comprising:\n a transceiver; and a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to control to: receive, from a session management function (SMF) entity, a first message for requesting information on a location change of a terminal for a specific area, the specific area being represented by a list of tracking areas of the terminal; identify the location change of the terminal for the specific area based on the first message, and transmit, to the SMF entity, a second message including the information on the location change of the terminal, wherein the specific area is determined by the SMF entity, wherein the information on the location change of the terminal is used by the SMF entity to identify whether the terminal has moved out of a service area of at least one intermediate user plane function (UPF), and wherein a tunnel between the at least one intermediate UPF and an anchor UPF is reallocated by the SMF entity, in case that the terminal has moved out of the service area of the at least one intermediate UPF.
