Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling an adaptive flow in a wireless communication system is provided. A method of a master base station in a wireless communication system, in which base stations having different cell sizes coexist, comprises the steps of: receiving load information from at least one other base station, receiving channel information about the at least one other base station from a terminal connected to the master base station, determining a secondary base station capable of load sharing for the terminal on basis of the channel information and the load information, and requesting, from the terminal, a further connection to the secondary base station. Offloading for downlink transmission of the terminal is determined based on the load information of a small cell. Furthermore, a resource distribution ratio for downlink transmission of the terminal is determined based on channel quality information reported from the terminal.
