Provided are a method and an apparatus for controlling NR data volume based on an interface between an NR base station and an LTE base station and an interface between an EPC and the LTE base station in a 5G non-standalone (NSA) network structure using an LTE EPC as a core network. The method includes receiving information about the volume of data that the secondary base station transmits to and receives from a terminal using a radio resource of the secondary base station from the secondary base station, and transmitting a secondary RAT data usage report message including the information about the volume of data the secondary base station transmits to and receives from the terminal using the radio resource of the secondary base station from the secondary base station to a mobility management entity (MME) using an S1-C interface.

Method and apparatus for controlling data volume of secondary GNB

An approach for multipath communication of a terminal via a gateway is provided. The approach includes storing a whitelist including applications corresponding to multipath communication applicable objects, and generating, when a first application included in the whitelist is executed, at least one path connected to the gateway using at least one of multiplex communication interfaces.

Network device and terminal for multi-path communication, operation method thereof, and program implementing operation method

The disclosure is related to a method for distributing data traffic of a wireless local area network (WLAN) in a WLAN access network while providing service continuity and internet protocol (IP) mobility in a heterogeneous network environment. The method may include receiving data traffic generated by user equipment and from a wireless local area network, selecting one of a first data path and a second data path for the received data traffic based on path decision information associated with the received data traffic, and transmitting the data traffic to Internet through the selected data path. The first data path may transmit the data traffic to Internet through a packet data network (PDN) gateway and the second data path may transmit the data traffic to Internet without passing through the PDN gateway.
