Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method for transceiving data in an unlicensed band and an apparatus for same. In particular, disclosed in the present invention are a method and an apparatus for same, the method comprising: a terminal receiving, from a base station, listen before talk (LBT)-type information and information relating to an uplink data transmission interval during which the data is transmitted from within one subframe; and transmitting the data to the base station only during the uplink data transmission interval from within the one subframe, based on an LBT operation indicated by the LBT-type information, thereby efficiently transceiving data between the terminal and the base station in the unlicensed band.
