Patent ID: 10251179

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication systems to support a higher data rate than the long term evolution (LTE) or other 4th generation (4G) communication systems. A method for transmitting data in a communication system is provided. The method includes identifying, by a station (STA) communicating with a first access point (AP), a resource for performing communication with a second AP positioned adjacent to the STA based on information regarding a capability of the STA, performing the communication with the second AP using the resource, and transmitting data obtained by performing the communication with the second AP to the first AP. The information regarding the capability includes one of information regarding multiple antennas available on the STA, information regarding a base-band processing unit including the multiple antennas, or information regarding a modem including the multiple antennas and the base-band processing unit.
