Abstract

An aspect of the disclosure relates to a method for supporting a local access data network (LADN) service by an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, and the method may comprise the steps of: providing LADN information for the LADN service to a terminal, wherein the LADN information includes LADN service area information and LADN data network name (DNN) information; acquiring location information of the terminal; when establishment of a packet data unit (PDU) session for providing the LADN service is determined on the basis of the location information of the terminal, transmitting to the terminal a preset message including a request for the establishment of the PDU session; and receiving, from the terminal, a request message for initiating the establishment of the PDU session.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of supporting a local access data network (LADN) service of an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
providing LADN information for the LADN service to a user equipment (UE), the LADN information including LADN service area information and LADN data network name (DNN) information;
obtaining location information about the UE;
identifying that a PDU session for providing the LADN service is determined, by the AMF, a policy control function (PCF), a network exposure function (NEF), and/or a data network (DN)/application function (AF), to be established based on the location information;
receiving, from the DN/AF or the PCF, a first message;
transmitting, to the UE, a second message including a request for establishing the PDU session; and
receiving a request message to initiate establishing the PDU session from the UE,
wherein the first message comprises an application trigger request message to trigger the LADN service, an LADN PDU initiation message for requesting to initiate to establish the PDU session, or an initiation message for requesting to initiate to establish the PDU session including priority information related with establishing the PDU session, and
wherein the second message comprises the application trigger request message, a paging message, or a non-access stratum (NAS) message including the priority information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the LADN information is provided to the UE through a registration procedure or a UE configuration update procedure.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein
when the PDU session is determined to be established based on the location information about the UE includes when a location of the UE is inside an LADN service area included in the LADN service area information.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein
the PDU session is determined to be established based on whether to allow the UE to access a data network (DN), whether to allow the UE to use an LADN service, and/or whether the UE roams in addition to the location information about the UE.

5. A method of receiving a local access data network (LADN) service by a UE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving LADN information for the LADN service, the LADN information including LADN service area information and LADN data network name (DNN) information;
receiving a preset message including a request for establishing the PDU session from an access and mobility management function (AMF), based on a PDU session for providing the LADN service being determined, by the AMF, a policy control function (PCF), a network exposure function (NEF), and/or a data network (DN)/application function (AF), to be established based on the location information; and
transmitting a request message for initiating to establish the PDU session to a network node,
wherein the preset message comprises an application trigger request message from the DN/AF for triggering the LADN service, a paging message that is transmitted from the AMF upon the AMF receives an LADN PDU initiation message for requesting to initiate to establish the PDU session from the PCF, or a non-access stratum (NAS) message including priority information that is transmitted from the AMF upon the AMF receives an initiation message for requesting to initiate to establish the PDU session from the PCF including the priority information.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein
when the PDU session is determined to be established based on the location information about the UE includes when a location of the UE is inside an LADN service area included in the LADN service area information.

7. A UE receiving a local access data network (LADN) service in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a communication module for transmitting/receiving a signal; and
a processor controlling the communication module, wherein
the processor:
receives LADN information for the LADN service, the LADN information including LADN service area information and LADN data network name (DNN) information;
receive a preset message including a request for establishing the PDU session from an access and mobility management function (AMF), based on a PDU session for providing the LADN service being determined, by the AMF, a policy control function (PCF), a network exposure function (NEF), and/or a data network (DN)/application function (AF), to be established based on the location information; and
transmit a request message for initiating to establish the PDU session to a network node,. wherein the preset message comprises an application trigger request message from the DN/AF for triggering the LADN service, a paging message that is transmitted from the AMF upon the AMF receives an LADN PDU initiation message for requesting to initiate to establish the PDU session from the PCF, or a non-access stratum (NAS) message including priority information that is transmitted from the AMF upon the AMF receives an initiation message for requesting to initiate to establish the PDU session from the PCF including the priority information.
