    Abstract: Disclosed are a signal transmitting method by a BS and a discovery method by a terminal to perform a WLAN discovery. The signal transmitting method by the BS includes: collecting information including beacon transmission periods and beacon transmission time of one or more WLAN Access Points (APs) within a cell range of the BS; generating grouping information in which beacon transmission time of the WLAN APs is mapped to a time area divided according to a grouping level from a reference time by using the collected information; and transmitting the grouping information to one or more reception terminals within cell range of the BS. Further, the discovery method by the terminal includes: receiving grouping information in which beacon transmission time of one or more WLAN Access Points (APs) is mapped to a time area divided according to a grouping level from a reference time; and discovering a WLAN AP only during a time to which the beacon transmission time is mapped according to the grouping information. Accordingly, the terminal can energy-efficiently discover a WLAN.

    Abstract translation: 本发明公开了一种BS的信号发送方法和终端的发现方法,以进行WLAN发现。 BS的信号发送方法包括:收集信息,该信息包括BS的小区范围内的一个或多个WLAN接入点(AP)的信标发送期间和信标发送时间; 生成分组信息,其中通过使用所收集的信息,WLAN AP的信标发送时间被映射到从参考时间根据分组等级划分的时间区域; 以及将所述分组信息发送到所述BS的小区范围内的一个或多个接收终端。 此外,终端的发现方法包括:接收分组信息,其中一个或多个WLAN接入点(AP)的信标发送时间映射到从参考时间根据分组级别划分的时间区域; 并且仅在根据分组信息映射了信标发送时间的时间期间发现WLAN AP。 因此,终端能够高效地发现WLAN。
