A method for releasing a context of a user equipment in a non-3GPP access network and a network entity performing the same are disclosed. In a case in which the UE is a unreachable state, a non-3GPP interworking function (N3IWF) may a UE context release request message to an access and mobility management function (AMF), and may perform protocol data unit (PDU) session user plane de-activation between the AMF, a session management function (SMF), and a user plane function (UPF). In addition, the AMF may transmit a UE context release command message to the N3IWF, and the N3IWF may transmit a UE context release complete message to the AMF. 1. A method for releasing a context of a user equipment (UE) in a non-3GPP access network , the method comprising:sending, by a non-3GPP interworking function (N3IWF), a UE context release request message to an access and mobility management function (AMF), when the UE is not reachable,sending, by the AMF, a UE context release command message to the N3IWF,sending, the N3IWF, a UE context release complete message to the AMF,performing protocol data unit (PDU) session user plane de-activation between the AMF, a session management function (SMF), and a user plane function (UPF), andsending, by the AMF, a paging message to the UE through a 3GPP access, when the UE is in connection management (CM)-IDLE in the 3GPP access and a non-3GPP access and PDU session identity (ID) for downlink data is associated with the non-3GPP access.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:the UE is already registered with a core network before the UE is not reachable.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:the performing of the PDU session user plane de-activationin includes:sending, by the AMF, a N2 connection release request message to the SMF,sending, by the SMF, a N4 session modification request message to the UPF,sending, by the UPF, a N4 session modification response message to the SMF, andsending, by the SMF, a N2 connection release response message to the AMF.4 ...
