2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first carrier sensing comprises:

measuring reception power of the channel; and

comparing the measured reception power with a predetermined threshold value.

the sub-channel is determined as being in the idle state if the measured reception power is less than the threshold value.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the threshold value is smaller than a predetermined threshold value for sensing the first carrier.

performing second carrier sensing for the first wireless communication system on a sub-channel contained in the channel if the channel is in an idle state; and

performing either downlink signal transmission to the UE or uplink signal reception from the UE on the sub-channel if the sub-channel is in an idle state.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first carrier sensing comprises:

measuring reception power of the channel; and

comparing the measured reception power with a predetermined threshold value.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second carrier sensing comprises:

measuring reception power of the sub-channel; and

comparing the measured reception power with a predetermined threshold value.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein:

the first wireless communication system is an LTE system or an LTE-A system; and

the second wireless communication system is a Wi-Fi system.

14. A user equipment (UE) supporting a carrier aggregation scheme, the UE comprising:

a processor configured to:

perform first carrier sensing for a second wireless communication system on a channel configured for a prescribed frequency region of an unlicensed frequency band;

perform second carrier sensing for the first wireless communication system on a sub-channel contained in the channel if the channel is in an idle state; and

control the transceiving module to perform either uplink signal transmission to the BS or downlink signal reception from the BS on the sub-channel if the sub-channel is in an idle state.

15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the first carrier sensing comprises:

measuring reception power of the channel; and

comparing the measured reception power with a predetermined threshold value.

16. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the second carrier sensing comprises:

measuring reception power of the sub-channel; and

comparing the measured reception power with a predetermined threshold value.

17. A base station (BS) supporting a carrier aggregation scheme, the BS comprising:
