1. A method of a base station in a mobile communication network, comprising:

  • detecting a traffic characteristic for traffic provided to a terminal;

    determining a first radio access technology (RAT) to be applied to an uplink for the terminal and a second RAT to be applied to a downlink for the terminal based on the traffic characteristic and based on at least one of a mobile communication service provider policy and subscriber information of the terminal;

    communicating with the terminal based on the first RAT and the second RAT;

    calculating a ratio of downlink traffic to uplink traffic;

    comparing the calculated ratio with a threshold;

    in response to the calculated ratio exceeding the threshold, transmitting downlink traffic through a wireless local access network (LAN) scheme and receiving uplink traffic through a long term evolution (LTE) scheme; and

    in response to the calculated ratio not exceeding the threshold, transmitting the downlink traffic and receiving the uplink traffic through the wireless LAN scheme,wherein the traffic characteristic comprises the ratio of downlink traffic to uplink traffic.
