Method and device for providing connectivity to terminal in order to use edge computing service

A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• transmit, to a Session Management Function (SMF), a first message including information to request using an edge computing service, and
• receive, from the SMF, a second message including information on a configuration server for receiving configuration information for the edge computing service,
• wherein the information on the configuration server is configured by a policy and charging Function (PCF), based on the information to request using the edge computing service.

A method of communication by a Session Management Function (SMF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a terminal, a first message including information to request using an edge computing service of the terminal;
• transmitting, to a policy and charging function (PCF), a second message for configuring a policy including the information to request using the edge computing service;
• receiving, from the PCF, a third message including information on a configuration server for receiving configuration information for the edge computing service configured based on the information to request using the edge computing service;
• and
• transmitting, to the terminal, a fourth message including the information on the configuration server.
