Abstract
One disclosure of the present specification provides a method by which a Session Management Function (SMF) provides a multicast service. The SMF performs the steps of: receiving a first message from a relay user equipment (UE), wherein on the basis of the relay UE receiving a join request of a first remote UE for a multicast group from the first remote UE, the first message includes (i) the join request of the first remote UE and (ii) information about the first remote UE, and on the basis of the relay UE wanting to join the multicast group by itself, the first message includes a join request of the relay UE; checking whether the join request included in the first message is a first join request for the multicast group from among the relay UE and one or more remote UEs receiving a network connection service from the relay UE.
