Or the additional service server 20 can be recognized and transmitted to the music file server 10 or the additional service server 20 within the packet in which the multiple communication terminal apparatuses 300 have access information of the heterogeneous convergence communication server 100 It may encapsulate and transmit a packet including connection information.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, data transmission / reception is performed between the heterogeneous convergence communication server 100 and the multiple communication terminal apparatuses 300 through one or a plurality of relay apparatuses. Because of this redundancy support, It is possible to secure the stability of transmitting and receiving data through the other relay apparatuses connected even if it is disconnected.

In addition, since the amount of transmission traffic can be adjusted for each relay device, it is possible to balance the traffic through the policy according to the current situation of the communication carrier.

The smartphone 810 or the notebook computer 820 may access the WiBro / WiFi convergence communication server 600 through the WiBro repeater 710 and the WiFi repeater 720 to receive the heterogeneous convergence communication service. For this purpose, the smartphone 810 and the notebook 820 may include a multiple interface module capable of connecting to the WiBro relay apparatus 710 and the Wi-Fi relay apparatus 720. The smartphone 810 or the notebook computer 820 is connected to the WiBro / WiFi convergence communication server 600 through the WiBro repeater 710 and the WiFi repeater 720 to register multiple communication connections, A hybrid communication environment for receiving data via the device 710 and the Wi-Fi repeater 720 is established, and the parallel data transmitted through the WiBro repeater 710 and the Wi-Fi repeater 720 are transmitted to a heterogeneous communication environment And can be serialized through a combination.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment as shown in FIG. 6, various problems due to the fact that the Wi-Fi communication network does not support the handoff can be compensated. It is possible to provide a seamless service by supporting the handoff through the WiBro communication network when a handoff occurs due to movement of the mobile communication terminal. In other words, in the case of WiBro communication network, the whole area is operated as a cover area. However, since the WiFi communication network operates as a cover spot, WiFi communication can be handled through WiBro communication network can do.

In addition, the transmission speed is improved by providing a bandwidth equal to the sum of the bandwidth of the WiBro communication network and the bandwidth of the WiFi communication network.
