Abstract
A method performed by a UPF for processing sponsored data in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises receiving, from a NEF, a subscription request message for subscribing to a UPF event exposure service based on the NEF receiving a charging generation request from an AF providing a sponsored data service, performing, based on information included in the subscription request message, a sponsored charging monitoring operation on the sponsored data provided to a UE from the AF, and transmitting, based on the sponsored charging monitoring operation, a usage report message to a CHF for the sponsored data, the CHF being in charge of charging processing.

A method performed by a user plane function (UPF) for processing sponsored data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network exposure function (NEF), a subscription request message for subscribing to a UPF event exposure service, based on the NEF receiving a charging generation request from an application function (AF) providing a sponsored data service;
- performing, based on information included in the subscription request message, a sponsored charging monitoring operation on the sponsored data provided to a user equipment (UE) from the AF;
- and
- transmitting, based on the sponsored charging monitoring operation, a usage report message to a charging function (CHF) for the sponsored data, the CHF being in charge of charging processing.
A user plane function (UPF) for processing sponsored data in a wireless communication system, the UPF comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
- receive, from a network exposure function (NEF), a subscription request message for subscribing to a UPF event exposure service, based on the NEF receiving a charging generation request from an application function (AF) providing a sponsored data service,
- perform, based on information included in the subscription request message, a sponsored charging monitoring operation on the sponsored data provided to a user equipment (UE) from the AF, and
- transmit, based on the sponsored charging monitoring operation, a usage report message to a charging function (CHF) for the sponsored data, the CHF being in charge of charging processing.
