Abstract

A communication scheme and system converges a 5G communication system supporting a data rate higher than that of a 4G system with an internet of things (IoT) technology. Applicable to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars, connected cars, health care, digital education, retails, and security and safety-related services), the communication scheme and system is based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology. Methods of operation a terminal and a network for facilitating a 5G terminal registration procedure in a wireless communication system are disclosed.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A method by an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a terminal, a first message including requested network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI);
transmitting, to a network slice function (NSSF), a second message including the requested NSSAI based on the first message;
and
receiving, from the NSSF, a third message including allowed NSSAI for the terminal and AMF Set to be used to serve the terminal;
determining a registration area for the terminal based on the allowed NSSAI;
and
transmitting, to the terminal, a fourth message including the allowed NSSAI and the registration area for the terminal.
