1. A method performed by a first entity performing a session management function (SMF) supporting an uncrewed aerial service (UAS) communication in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment (UE) associated with an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV), a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request message including a data network name (DNN) dedicated for a UAS, first identification information of the UAV, and second identification information of a UAV controller (UAV-C), wherein the UE associated with the UAV has performed an authentication with a second entity associated with a UAS traffic management (UTM);
based on the PDU session establishment request message, obtaining addressing information of the UAV-C including an address of the UAV-C, from a second entity associated with the UTM;
transmitting, to the UE, a PDU session response message; and
establishing a PDU session between the UE associated with the UAV and the UAV-C based on the addressing information of the UAV-C,
wherein the first identification information is assigned by the second entity associated with the UTM.
