Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring and changing information about quality of service (QoS) allowed to be supported to a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, and an operating method of a target base station (BS) in the mobile communication system includes receiving, from a source BS, alternative quality of service (QoS) profile (AQP) information, determining whether information matching QoS information allowed to be supported for a UE to be served is included in the AQP information, and when the information matching the QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served is included in the AQP information, transmitting the matching information to an access and mobility management function (AMF).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An operating method of a session management function (SMF) at handover in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a source base station (BS), a list of alternative quality of service (QOS) profile (AQP) information;
receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a matching QoS information of a target BS, wherein the matching QoS information is a QoS information selected by the target BS among the AQP information which is supported for the target BS to serve a user equipment (UE); and
forwarding the matching QoS information to a policy control function (PCF).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the matching QoS information is selected by the target BS based on whether there is, in the AQP information, information matching at least one of a guaranteed flow bit rate (GFBR), a packet error rate (PER) or a packet delay budget (PDB) for the target BS to be able to support the UE to be served.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the matching QoS information of the target BS comprises receiving the matching QoS information of the target BS in a path switching request message.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the target BS and the source BS perform inter-BS handover (Xn handover).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein when there is, in the AQP information, a plurality of pieces of the QoS information allowed to be supported for the target BS to serve the UE, the matching QoS information is selected as QoS information allowed to provide a best QoS.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the matching QoS information of the target BS comprises receiving the matching QoS information in a message including N2 SM information.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving reidentified QoS information from the target BS, wherein the reidentified QoS information is QoS information allowed to be supported for the UE to be served after handover is performed reidentified by the target BS.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a message including N2 SM information from the target BS, wherein the N2 SM information comprises information for supporting processing of the AQP information.

9. An operating method of an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a session management function (SMF), a quality of service (QOS) level monitoring request message;
transmitting, to a source base station (BS), the QoS level monitoring request message;
receiving, from the source BS, a QoS level notification message of the source BS including alternative QoS profile (AQP) information;
receiving, from a target BS, a matching QoS information, wherein the matching QoS information is a QoS information selected by the target BS among the AQP information which is supported for the target BS to serve a user equipment (UE); and
forwarding the matching QoS information to a session management function (SMF).

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the matching QoS information is selected by the target BS based on whether there is, in the AQP information, information matching at least one of a guaranteed flow bit rate (GFBR), a packet error rate (PER) or a packet delay budget (PDB) for the target BS to be able to support the UE to be served.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the receiving of the matching QoS information from the target BS comprises receiving the matching QoS information in a path switching request message.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the target BS and the source BS perform inter-BS handover (Xn handover).

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein when there is, in the AQP information, a plurality of pieces of the QoS information allowed to be supported for the target BS to serve the UE, the matching QoS information is selected as QoS information allowed to provide a best QoS.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the receiving of the matching QoS information from the target BS comprises receiving the matching QoS information in a message including N2 SM information.
