Method and apparatus for operation in coexistence environment of cellular, non-cellular, macro and micro networks

A method for performing communication by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• receiving information on a set of one or more non-cellular access points (APs) associated with a cellular base station and information on a plurality of events triggering measurement reporting for the one or more non-cellular APs, from the cellular base station;
• detecting an event triggered based on a measurement result of at least one AP in the set, the triggered event being one of the events configured by the information;
• and
• transmitting measurement report of at least one AP in the set in response to the event triggered to the cellular base station.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor configured to
• receive information on a set of one or more non-cellular access points (APs) associated with a cellular base station and information on a plurality of events triggering measurement reporting for the one or more non-cellular APs from the cellular base station, via the transceiver,
• detect an event triggered based on a measurement result of at least one AP in the set, the triggered event being one of the events configured by the information, and transmit measurement report of at least one AP in the set in response to the event triggered to the cellular base station.
