    Abstract: The one disclosure of the present specification proposes a method for managing session. The method may be performed by a session management function, SMF, node and comprise: generating a packet data unit, PDU, session for a user equipment, UE; receiving, from an access and mobility management function, AMF, node, information about the UE; and determining, based on the information, whether to transmit an indication for notifying a user plane function, UPF, node to discard a downlink data for the PDU session of the UE. The determination may be dependent on whether the PDU session corresponds to a first service provided to the UE.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for monitoring UE reachability in a wireless communication system. A method for monitoring UE reachability may include receiving, by a Mobility Management Entity, a monitoring request message for UE reachability including a maximum response time from a Home Subscriber Server, detecting, by the MME, the UE reachability if it is expected that paging is able to be transmitted to UE when extended Discontinuous Reception is applied to the UE, and sending, by the MME, a UE reachability notification to a Service Capability Exposure Function before a next paging occasion of the UE, wherein the maximum response time may indicate a time during which the UE maintains a reachable state so that downlink data is reliably delivered to the UE, and wherein an occasion when the UE reachability notification is transmitted may be determined by taking into consideration the maximum response time.

    Abstract: Provided is a tracking area assignment method by an access and mobility management function (AMF) in a wireless communication system. The method may include receiving, from a session management function (SMF), service and session continuity (SSC) mode indication information for a protocol data unit (PDU) session generated for a user equipment (UE), obtaining serving area information for a serving area of a serving user plane function (UPF) associated with the PDU session, determining the assignment of a new tracking area to the UE is necessary based on a tracking area pre-assigned to the UE and the serving area, and performing tracking area update for the assignment of the new tracking area to the UE if it is determined that the assignment of the new tracking area is necessary.
