Abstract:

Provided are a method and an apparatus for aggregating the WLAN with an E-UTRAN carrier at a radio access network (RAN) level and using the same to transmit and receive LTE-WLAN aggregation data. A method of a terminal for receiving data by aggregating a WLAN carrier may include transmitting WLAN MAC address information or IP address information which are configured in the terminal, receiving configuration information to configure a specific bearer through the WLAN carrier, receiving the data through the base station and the WLAN carrier, respectively, and transferring the specific bearer data received through the WLAN carrier to a PDCP entity of the specific bearer within the terminal.
