1. A method for processing data by a terminal, the method comprising:
- configuring a user plane entity for receiving data from a base station through a wireless local area network (WLAN) carrier, wherein the user plane entity is configured as a separate entity from a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity;
receiving, by the user plane entity, user plane data from the base station through the WLAN carrier; and
transmitting control information indicating successful or unsuccessful reception of the user plane data through the WLAN carrier to the base station through an interface between the terminal and the base station.
