1. A method for supporting dual connectivity by a base station control apparatus in a mobile communication system including a plurality of heterogeneous networks, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the base station control apparatus, a network connection establishment message including information on support of dual connectivity from a terminal;
deciding, by the base station control apparatus, whether to approve or disapprove dual connectivity by the terminal by using information on the terminal and the received information on support of dual connectivity;
selecting, by the base station control apparatus, one gateway for supporting the terminal based on the result determined in the deciding; and
transmitting, by the base station control apparatus, a network connection establishment request message to the selected gateway,wherein the base station control apparatus determines each maximum data transfer rate for the plurality of heterogeneous networks and transmits the each maximum data transfer rate to the selected gateway.
