Method and apparatus for hplmn control for discontinuous coverage in satellite access network

A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity, configuration information including an indicator indicating whether the terminal is allowed to disable a satellite next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) capability;
• transmitting, to the AMF entity, a REGISTRATION REQUEST message;
• and
• receiving, from the AMF entity, REGISTRATION REJECT message including a cause value indicating whether a satellite NG-RAN is allowed in a public land mobile network (PLMN).

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

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
• receive, from an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity, configuration information including an indicator indicating whether the terminal is allowed to disable a satellite next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) capability,
• transmit, to the AMF entity, a REGISTRATION REQUEST message, and
• receive, from the AMF entity, REGISTRATION REJECT message including a cause value indicating whether a satellite NG-RAN is allowed in a public land mobile network (PLMN).
