Apparatus and method for transmitting WLAN information in a mobile communication network for WLAN interworking

摘要

An apparatus and a method are provided for transmitting wireless local area network (WLAN) information in a mobile communication network for WLAN-interworking. The method includes the steps of setting a WLAN threshold value (411;421), which is used for determining if a WLAN area is present in a cell, and a measurement period in system information (421), broadcasting the system information in the cell (412), and transmitting a common pilot channel, which indicates that the WLAN area is present in the cell (441,451), in a predetermined direction with predetermined transmission power to cover the WLAN area by using beam forming.
