1. A method, performed by a terminal, of controlling access to a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a master information block (MIB) including first load information from a base station through a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),
wherein the first load information includes information about a frequency load of the base station including a ratio of frequency resources available at a time when the base station broadcasts the MIB to all the frequency resources available to the base station;
identifying a degree of a load of the base station based on the first load information;
determining whether to access the base station based on the degree of the load of the base station; and
accessing the base station based on a result of the determining,
wherein the frequency resources available at the time include a frequency resource not scheduled by the base station at the time and an unoccupied frequency resource at the time.
