1. A method by an apparatus in a communication system, the method comprising:
- detecting data transmitted between a device, to which a new temporary identifier is assigned, and a first server;
transmitting, to a second server, a first message for requesting information for a previous temporary identifier of the device;
in response to transmitting the first message, receiving, from the second server, a second message;
if the previous temporary identifier of the device is not included in the second message, managing a user context of the device based on the new temporary identifier of the device; and
if the previous temporary identifier of the device is included in the second message, managing the user context of the device by mapping the previous temporary identifier of the device and the new temporary identifier of the device.

6. An apparatus in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiver; a storage unit for storing a user context; and at least one processor configured to; detect, via the transceiver, data transmitted between a device, to which a new temporary identifier is assigned, and a first server; transmit, to a second server, a first message for requesting information for a previous temporary identifier of the device; in response to transmitting the first message, receive, via the transceiver, from the second server, a second message; if the previous temporary identifier of the device is not included in the second message, manage a user context of the device based on the new temporary identifier of the device; and if the previous temporary identifier of the device is included in the second message, manage the user context of the device by mapping the previous temporary identifier of the device and the new temporary identifier of the device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method by an apparatus in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a first server, a first message for requesting a previous temporary identifier of a device, the device to which a new temporary identifier is assigned; and in response to receiving the first message, transmitting, to the first server, a second message, wherein a user context of the device is managed based on the new temporary identifier of the device if the previous temporary identifier of the device is not included in the second message, and the user context of the device is managed by mapping the previous temporary identifier of the device and the new temporary identifier of the device if the previous temporary identifier of the device is included in the second message. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
