Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for determining a communication method between a base station and a terminal and, more particularly, to a method and an apparatus allowing a base station to lead the setting of a communication method including wireless LAN communication between the base station and the terminal. The method by which a first network base station determines the communication method, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving access related information from an access point of the terminal and a second network; and determining the communication method with the terminal among a plurality of communication methods on the basis of the access related information, wherein the plurality of communication methods comprise a first network dedicated carrier aggregation, a second network dedicated carrier aggregation or a carrier aggregation between the first network and the second network. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method and the apparatus for determining the communication method between the base station and the terminal enable users to obtain a higher quality of experience by allowing an LTE base s…
