Method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving data on multiple carriers in mobile communication system
A data transmission method and an apparatus to communicate data on multiple carriers in the mobile communication system are provided. A random access method of a terminal in a mobile communication system including primary and secondary cells operating on multiple carriers according to the present invention includes communicating data after random access in the primary cell, receiving, when the random access is triggered in the secondary cell, information for use in the secondary cell random access from the primary cell, transmitting a preamble in the secondary cell based on the received information, monitoring the primary cell to receive a Random Access Response for the secondary cell, and applying, when the Random Access Response for the secondary cell is received, the information carried in the Random Access Response to the secondary cell in which the preamble has been transmitted.
1. A random access method of a terminal in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the method comprising:
transmitting a first random access preamble on a primary cell;
monitoring, on the primary cell, a first control message of a first random access response for the first random access preamble;
transmitting a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the primary cell according to a first uplink grant and a first uplink transmission time adjustment included in the first random access response;
receiving a configuration message associated with a secondary cell on the primary cell;
transmitting a second random access preamble on the secondary cell;
monitoring, on the primary cell, a second control message of a second random access response for the second random access preamble; and
transmitting, if the second random access response for the second random access preamble is received on the primary cell, a second PUSCH on the secondary cell according to a second uplink grant and a second uplink transmission time adjustment included in the second random access response.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving information for a secondary cell random access on the primary cell,
wherein the information received on the primary cell includes at least one of a maximum number of preamble transmissions and random access transmission resource information.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring of the second control message on the primary cell comprises determining whether the second random access response for the secondary cell is received in a random access response window which is used for the primary cell.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising retransmitting, after the monitoring of the second control message, the second random access preamble for the secondary cell if a valid random access response is not received during a predetermined time period.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, after the monitoring of the second control message, data on the secondary cell if the random access response for the secondary cell is valid.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second random access response includes a transmission power control command for the secondary cell.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a third control message to initiate a random access for the secondary cell after receiving the configuration message.
8. A terminal for performing random access in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive control information and data with at least one cell; and
a controller configured to:
control the transceiver to transmit a first random access preamble on a primary cell,
monitor, on the primary cell, a first control message of a first random access response for the first random access preamble,
control the transceiver to transmit a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the primary cell according to a first uplink grant and a first uplink transmission time adjustment included in the first random access response,
control the transceiver to receive a configuration message associated with a secondary cell on the primary cell,
control the transceiver to transmit a second random access preamble on the secondary cell,
monitor, on the primary cell, a second control message of a second random access response for the second random access preamble, and
control the transceiver to transmit, if the second random access response for the second random access preamble is received on the primary cell, a second PUSCH on the secondary cell according to a second uplink grant and a second uplink transmission time adjustment included in the second random access response.
9. The terminal of claim 8 ,
wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to receive information for a secondary cell random access on the primary cell, and
wherein the information received on the primary cell includes at least one of a maximum number of preamble transmissions and random access transmission resource information.
10. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether the second random access response for the secondary cell is received in a random access response window which is used for the primary cell.
11. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to retransmit, after monitoring the second control message, the second random access preamble for the secondary cell if a valid random access response is not received during a predetermined time period.
12. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, after monitoring the second control message, data on the secondary cell if the random access response for the secondary cell is valid.
13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the second random access response includes a transmission power control command for the secondary cell.
14. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to receive a third control message to initiate a random access for the secondary cell after receiving the configuration message.
