Method for supporting communication using two or more radio access technologies and apparatus for same

摘要

A method for supporting communication using two or more heterogeneous radio access technologies (RAT) includes the steps of: the terminal receiving a first message that includes whether to provide support to simultaneous access two or more RATs and parameters requesting that a notification be provided for the supported RAT from a base station in a first RAT network supporting a first RAT; transmitting, to the base station in the first RAT network, a second message including an indicator indicating whether to support simultaneous access to the two or more RAT networks and information on a supported RAT network type in response to the first message, wherein the supported second RAT network type corresponds to a network that is different from the first RAT network.

1. A method of supporting communication using two or more radio access technologies (RATs) by a user equipment, the method comprising:
receiving a first message containing a query on whether the user equipment can support simultaneous access to the two or more RATs and containing information on a RAT supported by the user equipment, from a base station of a first RAT network supporting a first RAT; transmitting a second message to the base station of the first RAT network in response to the first message, the second message containing an indicator indicating the user equipment can support simultaneous access to the two or more RAT networks and information on a type of second RAT network supported by the user equipment to the base station of the first RAT network in response to the first message; and receiving simultaneously data from the base station of the first RAT network and from a selected base station of the second RAT network supported by the user equipment, the selected base station of the second RAT network being selected by the user equipment, wherein the second RAT network and the first RAT network are heterogeneous with respect to each other.
