A method and apparatus is provided that improves the quality of voice calls in a mobile communication network. The method of performing transmission/reception of signals in an evolved Node B (eNB) of a mobile communication system includes: receiving a first message including service request information from user equipment (UE); transmitting a second message including the service request information to an Mobility Management Entity (MME); receiving a third message including context information for the UE from the MME; and determining an inactivity timer value for the UE based on the context information. The method and apparatus can maintain, when a voice call is created, connection with calling UE from when the called UE answers the call until the call is set up, thereby preventing part of a caller's voice data from being lost.

Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to method and an apparatus a broadcast receiver for a conditional access system (CAS) information download. The CAS information download method includes acquiring broadcast provider information. The method also includes, selecting a broadcast provider based on the broadcast provider information. The method further includes, transmitting a subscription request including identity information of the broadcast reception device to a broadcast provider server of the selected broadcast provider. The method also includes, downloading CAS information from a CAS server.

Method and apparatus for installing conditional access system information

A method and an apparatus for installing a profile in a terminal including a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) corresponding to a smart card security module, which is inserted into a mobile communication terminal and then used are provided. More particularly, a method and an apparatus for remotely installing or removing mobile communication subscriber information in/from a profile of a terminal are provided. The terminal can remotely download the profile from a network server (subscription manager data preparation (SM-DP) or subscription manager secure routing (SM-SR)) without any change in a mobile network operator information technology (IT) system interface rather than downloading the profile of the terminal by the network server.

Methods and electronic devices are provided for configuring a sharing target device. A method includes transmitting, to an authentication server associated with a mobile network operator for managing data usage, a device configuration request message for configuring the sharing target device to share a data usage amount assigned to the electronic device; receiving, from the authentication server, in response to the device configuration request message, an access code permitting access to the authentication server; and transmitting the received access code to the sharing target device, wherein the sharing target device receives, using the access code, a subscriber profile from the authentication server for sharing the data usage amount assigned to the electronic device.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A terminal is provided, which includes a sensing unit configured to collect authentication information; and a control unit configured to perform the authentication based on first authentication information and second authentication information, to control the sensing unit to collect third authentication information if it is determined that the authentication based on the first authentication information has succeeded and the authentication based on the second authentication information has failed, and to perform the authentication based on the third authentication information. Since the authentication is performed through a combination of biometric information and context information that are acquired from two or more terminals, reliability and security of the authentication can be heightened.
