Wireless communication device and control method therefor

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a wireless communication device and a method for controlling the same and, particularly, to a wireless communication device capable of communicating in different frequency bands, and a method for controlling the same. A method according to an embodiment of the disclosure corresponds to a method for controlling a wireless communication device having a wireless communication unit in accordance with each of a plurality of wireless communication standards. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving a first control signal from a first network by a first communication processor which communicates in a first wireless standard mode; controlling, by the first communication processor, power of a second communication processor of a second wireless standard mode to be turned on when the first control signal includes system control information of the second wireless standard mode; transferring, by the first communication processor, control information to be used in a system of the second wireless standard mode to the second communication processor through a data communication interface when data received from a system of the first wireless standard mode includes the control information to be used in the system of the second wireless standard mode; and accessing and communicating with the system of the second wireless standard mode by the second communication processor. The present research has been conducted with the support of the 'Cross-Department Giga KOREA Project' of the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning.
