The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A communication method operated by a terminal includes receiving, from a base station, control information for configuring the terminal to interwork with a WLAN in a cellular connection state, communicating at least one traffic with a first WLAN based on the control information in the cellular connection state, and communicating the at least one traffic with the first WLAN based on the control information, if the cellular connection state is released. A terminal includes a controller configured to receive, from a base station, control information for configuring the terminal to interwork with a WLAN in a cellular connection state, communicate at least one traffic with a first WLAN based on the control information in the cellular connection state, and communicate the at least one traffic with the first WLAN based on the control information, if the cellular connection state is released. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A communication method operated by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, control information for configuring the terminal to interwork with a wireless local area network (WLAN) in a cellular connection state; communicating at least one traffic with a first WLAN based on the control information in the cellular connection state; and communicating the at least one traffic with the first WLAN based on the control information if the cellular connection state is released. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the control information includes at least one WLAN identifier for the interworking. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: releasing the control information for configuring the interworking with the WLAN, if reshifting to the cellular connection state after the cellular connection state is released. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, from the base station, WLAN measurement configuration information. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the WLAN measurement configuration information includes measurement object information, and reports configuration information of a measurement result. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising: performing a measurement for at least one WLAN base on the WLAN measurement configuration information; transmitting, to the base station, a measurement result based on the WLAN measurement configuration information. ### Claim 7 A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising: a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and a controller configured to: receive, from a base station, control information for configuring the terminal to interwork with a wireless local area network (WLAN) in a cellular connection state; communicate at least one traffic with a first WLAN based on the control information in the cellular connection state; and communicate the at least one traffic with the first WLAN based on the control information, if the cellular connection state is released. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The terminal of claim 7, wherein the control information includes at least one WLAN identifier for the interworking. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The terminal of claim 7, wherein the terminal is further configured to: release the control information for configuring the interworking with the WLAN, if reshifting to the cellular connection state after the cellular connection state is released. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The terminal of claim 7, wherein the terminal is further configured to receive, from the base station, WLAN measurement configuration information. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The terminal of claim 10, wherein the WLAN measurement configuration information includes measurement object information, and reports configuration information of a measurement result. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The terminal of claim 10, wherein the terminal is further configured to: perform a measurement for at least one WLAN base on the WLAN measurement configuration information; and transmit, to the base station, a measurement result based on the WLAN measurement configuration information.
