Abstract:
1. A method for a multiple-radio access technology (RAT) (multi-RAT) terminal to communicate data via a first base station supporting a first RAT and a second base station supporting a second RAT in a radio access system that supports multi-RAT, the method comprising: receiving, from the first base station, control information required for accessing the second base station; utilizing the control information to measure a beacon frame of the second base station and to access the second base station; and communicating the data simultaneously via both the first base station and the second base station without a switching mechanism, wherein the control information indicates a timing offset interval between a downlink frame of the first base station and the beacon frame of the second base station, and wherein the first RAT supports a cellular system and the second RAT supports a wireless local area network (WLAN).
