Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Link setup using different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) in a wireless communication system is provided. A method for operating a device supporting a first RAT and a second RAT includes sending information notifying a discovery interval start time for the second RAT, using the first RAT, and sending discovery signals during the discovery interval using the second RAT.
