Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data using a plurality of carriers in a mobile communication system. The communication method by a terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: receiving a secondary cell (SCell) adding command including setting information on an SCell to be added from a primary serving cell (PCell); transmitting a preamble to the SCell to be added; receiving a random access response message (RAR) for the SCell to be added; and, if the SCell adding command includes an indicator indicating that a first base station to which the SCell to be added belongs and a base station to which the PCell belongs are different from each other, applying parameters included in the RAR to the SCell that transmits the RAR. According to the embodiment of the present invention, by aggregating carriers between different base stations, a terminal can have increased chances of transmitting and receiving data at high speed through the carrier aggregation.

Claims (41)

1. A communication method by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first base station, system information including a first random access response window for a first cell group associated with the first base station;

receiving, from the first base station, a configuration message for adding a second cell group associated with a second base station, the configuration message including information on a second random access response window size for the second cell group;

transmitting, on a cell of the second cell group, a random access preamble; and

monitoring, on the cell of the second cell group, a random access response based on the second random access response window size for the second cell group.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell of the second cell group comprises a scell including a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, on a cell of the first cell group, a random access preamble; and

monitoring, on the cell of the first cell group, a random access response based on the first random access response window for the first cell group.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

if a random access failure is detected for the second cell group, stopping a transmission of a PUCCH on the cell of the second cell group.

5. A communication method by a first base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, system information including a first random access response window for a first cell group; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a configuration message for adding a second cell group associated with a second base station,

wherein the configuration message includes information on a second random access response window size for the second cell group, and

wherein a random access response is monitored on a cell of the second cell group by the terminal based on the second random access response window size for the second cell group.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, on the cell of the first cell group, a random access preamble; and

transmitting, on the cell of the first cell group, a random access response based on the first random access response window for the first cell group.

7. A terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a first base station, system information including a first random access response window for a first cell group associated with the first base station,

control the transceiver to receive, from the first base station, configuration message for adding a second cell group associated with the second base station, the configuration message including information on a second random access response window size for the second cell group,

control the transceiver to transmit, on a cell of the second cell group, a random access preamble, and

monitor, on the cell of the second cell group, a random access response based on the second random access response window size for the second cell group.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the cell of the second cell group comprises a scell including a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, on a cell of the first cell group, a random access preamble, and

monitor, on the cell of the first cell group, a random access response based on the first random access response window for the first cell group.

10. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller further controls stopping a transmission of a PUCCH on the cell of the second cell group if a random access failure is detected for the second cell group.

11. A first base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to a terminal, system information including a first random access response window for a first cell group, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the terminal, configuration message for adding a second cell group associated with a second base station,

wherein the configuration message includes information on a second random access response window size for the second cell group, and

wherein a random access response is monitored on a cell of the second cell group by the terminal based on the second random access response window size for the second cell group.

12. The first base station of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, on a cell of the first cell group, a random access preamble, and

control the transceiver to transmit, on the cell of the first cell group, a random access response based on the first random access response window for the first cell group.
