Patent ID: 7706841

Claim:
A method for transmitting wireless local area network (WLAN) information in a mobile communication network for WLAN-interworking, the method comprising the steps of: determining whether a WLAN area present in a cell has both a radius characteristic and a directional characteristic relative to a base station (node B) provided in the cell; establishing a WLAN threshold value for determining if the WLAN area is present in the cell, and a measurement period in system information, the WLAN threshold value allowing a terminal to determine if the result of a common pilot channel measurement is sufficient, if the WLAN area has both the radius characteristic and the directional characteristic; broadcasting the system information in the cell; and transmitting the common pilot channel, which indicates that the WLAN area is present at the terminal in the cell, in a predetermined direction with predetermined transmission power to cover the WLAN area by using beam forming.
