METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING RULE INFORMATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

The disclosure relates to a communication scheme and system for converging a 5th generation (5G) communication system for supporting a data rate higher than that of a 4th generation (4G) system with an Internet of things (IoT) technology. The disclosure is applicable to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, and security and safety-related services) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology. A method for a control plane to transmit rule information to a user plane is provided. The method includes receiving PPC rule information from a PCF, identifying predetermined policy rule sets for a PDR set based on the PCC rule information, identifying rule set information corresponding to the PDR set, and transmitting the rule set information to the user plane, wherein the PDR set includes multiple pieces of PDR information.
