1. A method for operating a network node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment (UE) supporting a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, a UE-initiated deregistration request message;
determining whether a usage reporting for the second RAT is required for a protocol data unit (PDU) session established for the UE;
in case that the usage reporting for the second RAT is required for the PDU session, transmitting, to the UE, a deregistration accept message, and transmitting, to a radio access node (RAN) associated with the UE, a N2 UE context release request message for a signaling connection release of the RAN;
waiting for completion of the signaling connection release of the RAN, to receive the usage reporting for the second RAT from the RAN; and
transmitting, to a session management function (SMF), a PDU session release request message to release the PDU session.
