Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A communication method and an apparatus for efficiently supporting a multi-radio access network (multi-RAN) within a wireless communication system are provided. The communication method of a second base station in a network using first wireless communication and second wireless communication includes receiving first information from a first base station via a first wireless communication link, receiving second information in a communication link which differs from the first wireless communication link, identifying control information to be transmitted via a second wireless communication link based on the first information, and identifying data to be transmitted via the second wireless communication link based on the second information, and transmitting the control information and the data via the second wireless communication.
