Abstract

A base station that performs wireless communication with a mobile station using a plurality of cells, the base station includes: a wireless communication circuitry configured to transmit a first control signal that includes first information used to adjust a transmission timing of the mobile station with the cells and second information that is different from the first information, and a second control signal that includes information indicating whether the second information is used to specify a cell among the cells; and a controller configured to perform control for transmission of the first control signal and the second control signal.

Claims (23)

1. A base station that performs wireless communication with a mobile station using a plurality of cells configured to be grouped so as to comprise a plurality of groups of cells, the base station comprising:

a wireless communication circuitry configured to transmit;

a first control signal that includes a first field comprising first information indicating an amount of adjustment that causes the mobile station to adjust a transmission timing of the mobile station with one or more cells and a second field configured to store second information identifying the one or more cells among the plurality of groups of cells, and

a second control signal that includes third information indicating whether the second information to be applied to the mobile station is set in the second field of the first control signal; and

a controller configured to perform control for transmission of the first control signal and the second control signal.

2. A mobile station that performs wireless communication using a plurality of cells configured to be grouped so as to comprise a plurality of groups of cells, the mobile station comprising:

a first control signal transmitted from a base station, the first control signal including a first field comprising first information indicating an amount of adjustment that causes the mobile station to adjust a transmission timing of the mobile station with one or more cells and a second field configured to store second information identifying the one or more cells among the plurality of groups of cells, and

a second control signal transmitted from the base station; and

when the second control signal includes third information indicating whether the second information to be applied to the mobile station is set in the second field of the first control signal, a controller configured to adjust, using the first information, the transmission timing of the mobile station with the group of cells specified by the second information.

3. The mobile station according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second control signal is a control signal that causes the mobile station to set a radio parameter.

4. The mobile station according to claim 2 , wherein if the third information extracted from the second control signal is null, the controller is configured to ignore the second information included in the first control signal.

5. The mobile station according to claim 2 , wherein if the third information extracted from the second control signal is null, the controller is configured to adjust, using the first information included in the first control signal, the transmission timing of the mobile station with all of the plurality of groups of cells.

6. A wireless communication system that performs wireless communication using a plurality of cells configured to be grouped so as to comprise a plurality of groups of cells, the wireless communication system comprising:

a base station configured to transmit;

a first control signal that includes a first field comprising first information indicating an amount of adjustment that causes a mobile station to adjust a transmission timing of the mobile station with one or more cells and a second field configured to store second information identifying the one or more cells among the plurality of groups of cells, and

a second control signal that includes third information indicating whether the second information to be applied to the mobile station is set in the second field; and

a mobile station configured to:

receive the first control signal and the second control signal, and

if the third information indicates that the second information to be applied to the mobile station is set in the second field of the first control signal, adjust, using the first information, a transmission timing of the mobile station with the group of cells specified by the second information.

7. A wireless communication method comprising:

transmitting, from a base station that that performs wireless communication with a mobile station using a plurality of cells configured to be grouped so as to comprise a plurality of groups of cells, a first control signal that includes a first field comprising first information indicating an amount of adjustment that causes the mobile station to adjust a transmission timing of the mobile station with one or more cells and a second area for storing second information identifying the one or more cells among the plurality of groups of cells, and a second control signal that includes third information indicating whether the second information to be applied to the mobile station is set in the second area of the first control signal; and

controlling, by the base station, transmission of the first control signal and the second control signal.
