The backhaul communication unit 6-30 provides an interface for performing communication with other nodes within a network. That is, the backhaul communication unit 6-30 converts, into a physical signal, a bitstream transmitted from the base station to another node, for example, an auxiliary base station, a core network, etc., and converts a physical signal received from the other node, into a bitstream.
The storage unit 6-40 stores data such as a basic program, an application program, and configuration information for an operation of the base station. Particularly, the storage unit 6-40 may store information on a bearer assigned to a connected terminal, a measurement result reported from a connected terminal, etc. In addition, the storage unit 6-40 may store information serving as a determination criterion of whether to provide or stop providing multi-connection to a terminal. The storage unit 6-40 provides stored data in response to a request of the controller 6-50.
The controller 6-50 controls overall operations of the base station. For example, the controller 6-50 transmits or receives a signal via the baseband processor 6-20 and the RF processor 6-10, or via the backhaul communication unit 6-30. In addition, the controller 6-50 records and reads data in and from the storage unit 6-40. To this end, the controller 6-50 may include at least one processor. In addition, the controller 6-50 may control an operation of abase station according to various embodiments of the disclosure or an entity corresponding thereto.
