selecting a policy to process the request; and processing the request according to action information of the selected policy. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of processing a reception stop request of a notification according to a notification subscription in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a first device, the method comprising: receiving, by the first device, a request for stopping a reception of the notification from a second device according to the notification subscription; selecting, by the first device, a policy for processing the request; and processing, by the first device, the request according to action information of the selected policy, wherein the policy selecting comprises checking whether a first policy for target removal for the second device is set and selecting the first policy when the first policy is set, wherein when the first policy is not set, the policy selecting comprises checking whether a second policy set by a creator device of the notification subscription exists and selecting the second policy when the second policy exists; or when the first policy is not set and the second policy set by the creator device of the notification subscription does not exist, the policy selecting comprises selecting a third policy set by a service provider, and wherein the second policy includes a policy specified by a first predetermined policy resource including information indicating ‘default’, and including a ‘creator’ attribute including information on the creator device of the notification subscription. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising determining whether the second device is included in targets of the notification subscription. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the checking whether the first policy for the target removal for the second device is set comprises referring to a specific resource including a uniform resource identifier (URI) of the second device and a policy resource linked to the specific resource. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein a policy indicated by the linked policy resource is selected as the first policy. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the third policy includes a policy specified by a second predetermined policy resource including information indicating ‘default’. ### Claim 6 An apparatus for processing a stop request of a reception of a notification according to a notification subscription in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising: a transceiver; and a processor configured to control the transceiver, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a request for stopping a reception of the notification from a second device according to the notification subscription, select a policy for processing the request, and process the request according to action information of the selected policy, wherein in selecting the policy, the processor is further configured to check whether a policy for target removal for the second device is set and select the policy for the target removal for the second device when the policy for the target removal for the second device is set, wherein when the policy for target removal for the second device is not set, the processor is further configured to check whether a default policy set by a creator device of the notification subscription exists and select the default policy set by the creator device when the default policy set by the creator device of the notification subscription exists; or when the policy for the target removal for the second device is not set and the default policy set by the creator device of the notification subscription does not exist, the processor is further configured to select a default policy set by a service provider, and wherein the second policy includes a policy specified by a first predetermined policy resource including information indicating ‘default’, and including a ‘creator’ attribute including information on the creator device of the notification subscription. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the processor determines whether the second device is included in targets of the notification subscription. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, wherein in checking whether the policy for the target removal for the second device is set, the processor refers to a specific resource including a uniform resource identifier (URI) of the second device and a policy resource linked to the specific resource. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The apparatus of claim 8, wherein a policy indicated by the linked policy resource is selected as the first policy. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the third policy includes a policy specified by a second predetermined policy resource including information indicating ‘default’.
