1. A method for location based access control in a wireless communication system, comprising:
receiving, from an originating device, a request for access to a specific resource associated with location constraints, the location constraints being related to circular description or country description; checking whether location information of the originating device is present; acquiring the location information of the originating device according to type of the location constraints when the location information of the originating device is not present; and performing access control based on the acquired location information, wherein the acquiring of the location information of the originating device comprises: acquiring the location information of the originating device by subscribing to a location notification service toward a location server when the location constraints are related to the circular description; determining whether country in which the originating device is located is distinguished using an Internet protocol (IP) address of the originating device when the location constraints are related to the country description; and acquiring the location information of the originating device by requesting the location server to provide the location information of the originating device when the country is not distinguished using the IP address of the originating device.
