Abstract

An objective is to enable communications properly using an Scell even in a case where a radio base station which transmits “Activate command” and a radio base station which manages an Scell are different when “Inter-site CA” is performed. A radio base station eNB # 1 according to the invention includes a transmission unit 12 configured to transmit an “Activate command” which is a command to activate a cell #B to a mobile station UE and thereafter notify a radio base station eNB # 10 that the cell #B is activated.

Claims (9)

1. A mobile station comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor coupled to the receiver, wherein the processor is configured to execute a random access procedure, wherein

the mobile station performs carrier aggregation by aggregating a first cell managed by a first radio base station and a second cell managed by a second radio base station, and

the processor executes a random access procedure with the second radio base station at a timing when an activation of the second cell is completed,

wherein the mobile station executes the random access procedure:

without receiving any command for executing the random access procedure from the first radio base station and the second radio base station, and

based on only when the receiver receives a command to activate the second cell from the first radio base station, and

wherein the mobile station transmits an acknowledgement signal to the first radio base station in response to receiving the command to activate the second cell and prior to executing the random access procedure with the second radio base station.
