A method and apparatus for performing a wireless local area network (WLAN) termination (WT) release procedure in a wireless communication system is provided. For the eNodeB (eNB) initiated WT release procedure, the eNB transmits a WT Release Request message to a WT via a Xw interface. For the WT initiated WT release procedure, the eNB receives a WT Release Required message from a WT via a Xw interface, and transmits a WT Release Confirm message to the WT via the Xw interface. The WT is a logical node that terminates the Xw interface.
