A method for processing user plane data by a terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving additional configuration information to further configure a wireless local area network (WLAN) carrier that uses an unlicensed frequency band through an aggregation entity;
- receiving downlink user plane data through the WLAN carrier according to the additional configuration information;
- and
- transmitting uplink user plane data by using at least one of the WLAN carrier and a base station carrier according to the additional configuration information.
A method for processing user plane data by a base station, the method comprising:
- creating and transmitting additional configuration information to further configure a wireless local area network (WLAN) carrier that uses an unlicensed frequency band through an aggregation entity;
- transmitting downlink user plane data through the WLAN carrier according to the additional configuration information;
- and
- receiving uplink user plane data by using at least one of the WLAN carrier and a base station carrier according to the additional configuration information.
