APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DATA SCHEDULING OF BASE STATION USING LICENSED ASSISTED ACCESS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). 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. For licensed assisted access (LAA) technology used in a wireless communication system, an apparatus and a method for scheduling downlink data at a base station is provided. In the method, based on at least one part of parameters of a bearer to which the downlink data belongs, the base station determines a serving cell for scheduling the downlink data. Further, the base station transmits control information comprising information about the identified serving cell to user equipment (UE). The base station that implements the method is also provided.
