determining whether information matching QoS information allowed to be supported for a user equipment (UE) to be served is included in the AQP information; and when the information matching the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served is included in the AQP information, transmitting the matching information to an access and mobility management function (AMF). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the determining of whether the information matching the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served is included in the AQP information comprises determining whether there is, in the AQP information, information matching at least one of a guaranteed flow bit rate (GFBR), a packet error rate (PER) or a packet delay budget (PDB) for the target BS to be able to support the UE to be served. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting of the matching information to the AMF comprises transmitting the matching information in a path switching request message. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the target BS and the source BS perform inter-BS handover (Xn handover). ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: when the target BS is unable to support QoS information currently being supported by the source BS, and the AQP information includes information matching the Qos information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served, transmitting, to the source BS, the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the transmitting to the source BS of the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served comprises when there is, in the AQP information, a plurality of pieces of the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served, transmitting QoS information allowed to provide best QoS. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: reidentifying QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served after handover is performed and then transmitting the reidentified QoS information to a session management function (SMF). ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: transmitting a message including N2 SM information to an SMF, wherein the N2 SM information comprises information for supporting processing of the AQP information. ### Claim 9 A target base station (BS) in a mobile communication system, the target BS comprising: a communication device; at least one memory including instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to control to receive, from a source BS, alternative quality of service (QoS) profile (AQP) information, determine whether information matching QoS information allowed to be supported for a user equipment (UE) to be served is included in the AQP information, and when the information matching the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served is included in the AQP information, transmit the matching information to an access and mobility management function (AMF). ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The target BS of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: determine whether there is, in the AQP information, information matching at least one of a guaranteed flow bit rate (GFBR), a packet error rate (PER) or a packet delay budget (PDB) for the target BS to be able to support the UE to be served. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The target BS of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: transmit the matching information in a path switching request message. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The target BS of claim 9, wherein the target BS and the source BS perform inter-BS handover (Xn handover). ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The target BS of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to, when the target BS is unable to support QoS information currently being supported by the source BS, and the AQP information includes information matching the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served, control the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served to be transmitted to the source BS. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The target BS of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to, when there is, in the AQP information, a plurality of pieces of the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served, control QoS information allowed to provide best QoS to be transmitted. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The target BS of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to reidentify QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served after handover is performed and then control the reidentified QoS information to be transmitted to a session management function (SMF). ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The target BS of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control a message including N2 SM information to be transmitted to an SMF, wherein the N2 SM information comprises information for supporting processing of the AQP information.
