Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for transmitting data, by a base station, in an unlicensed frequency. A method according to a representative embodiment includes: transmitting a first signal for determining whether a data transmission is possible in an unlicensed frequency band; transmitting a second signal for reserving a data transmission in the unlicensed frequency band when the data transmission in the unlicensed frequency band is possible; and transmitting first data to a terminal through the unlicensed frequency band after transmitting the second signal. In an aspect, the base station determines whether other communication devices do not use the unlicensed frequency band, and transmits a channel reservation signal having a period shorter than a resource allocation period during a predetermined period of time, thereby pursuing coexistence with other communication devices and improving the performance of a communication system at the same time.
