Abstract
A communication technique of fusing a 5th-generation (5G) communication for supporting higher data transmission rate beyond a 4th-generation (4G) system with an Internet of things (IoT) technology and a system thereof are provided. The present disclosure may be used for an intelligent service (for example, a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or a connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety related service, or the like) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT related technology. A communication method of a base station includes generating resource assignment information of an uplink burst including at least two consecutive uplink subframes of an unlicensed band; transmitting the resource assignment information to a terminal; and receiving uplink data from the terminal during the at least two consecutive uplink subframes.
