Abstract
The objective of the present invention is to provide services by effectively switching, by a terminal, a macro cell and a small cell on the basis of time in a communication system in which the macro cell and the small cell coexist. A method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: transmitting, to a first base station and/or a second base station, information on a switching delay time required for the terminal to perform cell switching; and communicating through a resource of the first base station and a resource of the second base station which are allocated by considering the switching delay time.
