Method and apparatus for providing generic framework to manage custom subscription over sip

Abstract

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. Accordingly, the embodiments herein disclose a method for providing a generic framework to manage a custom subscription over a SIP. The method includes sending at least one request with a plurality of parameters to a server SIP node () for any type of data over a SIP regardless of an event package is available or not. The custom subscription is managed by one of creating the custom subscription, modifying the custom subscription, deleting the custom subscription, notifying the custom subscription, and terminating the custom subscription using the plurality of parameters. Further, the method includes providing a subscription for a location management service associated with the server SIP node () over the SIP regardless of the event package is available or not. The server SIP node () allows a client SIP node () to manage a location information using the plurality of parameters.
