1. A method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information indicating whether a cellular-wireless local area network (WLAN) aggregation is supported by the UE; and
receiving data to which a header is added based on the cellular-WLAN aggregation,
wherein the data is delivered to an upper layer in the UE, and
wherein the upper layer is identified based on a bearer identification in the header, in case that the cellular-WLAN aggregation is supported by the UE and the cellular-WLAN aggregation is enabled in the UE.
