Abstract

The present specification relates to a communication method and a communication device, and a random access method of a user equipment (UE), according to one embodiment of the present specification, comprises the steps of: sensing a random access trigger in a connected state; determining the type of the random access trigger when the random access trigger is sensed; and performing congestion control if the type of the random access trigger is a preset type.

Claims (40)

1. A method by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving an activation command for a secondary cell (SCell) from a base station in a subframe n;

performing a radio frequency (RF) bandwidth reconfiguration based on the activation command for the SCell; and

suspending data communication on a primary cell (PCell) for a predetermined number of subframes based on the activation command for the SCell,

wherein the suspending of the data communication on the PCell begins in a subframe n+5.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for the activation command.

3. The method of claim 1 , if the SCell is activated based on the activation command for the SCell, further comprising at least one of:

transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) on the SCell; or

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the SCell.

4. The method of claim 1 , after the activation command for the SCell is received, further comprising at least one of:

starting a timer of a deactivation for the SCell; or

transmitting a channel quality indicator (CQI) for the SCell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the suspending of the data communication on the PCell is caused if the PCell and the SCell belong to a same frequency band.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RF bandwidth reconfiguration is performed if the SCell is activated based on the activation command for the SCell.

7. The method of claim 6 , if the SCell was previously activated before the activation command for the SCell is received, further comprising at least one of:

starting a timer of a SCell deactivation for the SCell;

transmitting a channel quality indicator (CQI) for the SCell;

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the SCell; and

triggering a power headroom (PHR) report.

8. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and

a controller configured to:

receive an activation command for a secondary cell (SCell) from a base station in a subframe n;

perform a radio frequency (RF) bandwidth reconfiguration based on the activation command for the SCell; and

suspend data communication on a primary cell (PCell) for a predetermined number of subframes based on the activation command for the SCell,

wherein the suspending of the data communication on the PCell begins in a subframe n+5.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for the activation command.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) on the SCell and monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the SCell, if the SCell is activated based on the activation command for the SCell.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

start a timer of a deactivation for the SCell and transmit a channel quality indicator (CQI) for the SCell, after the activation command for the SCell is received.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the suspending of the data communication on the PCell is caused if the PCell and the SCell belong to a same frequency band.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the RF bandwidth reconfiguration is performed if the SCell is activated based on the activation command for the SCell.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

start a timer of a SCell deactivation for the SCell;

transmit a channel quality indicator (CQI) for the SCell;

monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the SCell; and

trigger a power headroom (PHR) report, if the SCell was previously activated before the activation command for the SCell is received.
