15. A first network function entity for managing an event monitoring for a group of terminals in a wireless communication system, the first network function entity comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
receive, from a second network function entity, a monitoring request message for modifying a configured monitoring event, the monitoring request message including a first identifier corresponding to the configured monitoring event, a second identifier for deletion operation, an operation of group management for the group of terminals, and a terminal identifier indicating a terminal impacted by the operation, wherein the operation includes at least one of an addition of the terminal to the group or a deletion of the terminal from the group,
update the configured monitoring event for the impacted terminal identified by the terminal identifier based on the operation, wherein the update is adding the impacted terminal to the group of terminals for the configured monitoring event or deleting the impacted terminal from the group of terminals for the configured monitoring event,
identify whether the configured monitoring event needs to be performed in a third network function entity, and
in case that the configured monitoring event is needed to be performed in the third network function entity, transmit, to the third network function entity associated with the impacted terminal, information for modifying the configured monitoring event, the information including the first identifier and the terminal identifier, wherein in case that the operation is the deletion of the terminal of the group, the second identifier is transmitted to the third network function entity.
