Apparatus and method for performing onboarding procedure for remote provisioning

A terminal for performing an onboarding procedure for remote provisioning, the terminal comprising:

• a processor, a memory, and a communication device, wherein the processor executes a program stored in the memory to perform:
• receiving an onboarding enabled indication from at least one onboarding network through the communication device;
• selecting an onboarding network based on the onboarding enabled indication and onboarding network selection information configured in the terminal;
• and
• attempting registration for the selected onboarding network through the communication device,
• wherein the onboarding network selection information includes include stand-alone Non-Public Network (SNPN) network identifiers and Group IDs for Network selection (GINs).
• wherein when a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) is selected as the onboarding network, the terminal uses PLMN credentials, and
• wherein when the terminal does not have a provisioning server (PVS) IP address or a Fully Qualified Domain Name (PVS FQDN) after establishing a restricted protocol data unit (PDU) session used for onboarding, user equipment (UE) configuration data for UP remote provisioning is provided to a mobile management function (AMF) of the onboarding network by a default credential sever (DCS) as a part of an authentication procedure, and then sent to a SMF session management function (SMF) by the AMF through a PDU session establishment request.
