1. A method of measuring a throughput in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

  • determining, by a base station, a start point (T2) at which a data burst begins, wherein the start point (T2) is a point in time when a first transmission begins after the base station estimates that a user equipment'"'"'s buffer size becomes greater than zero;

    determining, by the base station, an end point (T1) at which the data burst ends;

    determining, by the base station, a data volume counted on a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) service data unit (SDU) bits in uplink for the data burst excluding data transmitted in a last Transmission Time Interval (TTI) used for transmission of the data burst; and

    measuring, by the base station, a scheduled IP throughput of the data burst for Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) by using the start point (T2), the end point (T1), and the data volume.
