Radio communication apparatus, radio communication system, and radio communication method
A radio communication apparatus that performs communication with another radio communication apparatus by using a plurality of pairs of a downlink frequency band and an uplink frequency band, the apparatus includes: a receiving unit configured to receive a control message by using a downlink frequency band of a first pair among downlink frequency bands of the pairs during a random access procedure to said another radio communication apparatus, the control message including identification information indicating use of an uplink frequency band of a second pair different from the first pair, the downlink frequency band of the first pair being monitored for control messages by the radio communication apparatus; and a control unit configured to control the radio communication apparatus to perform data communication with said another radio communication apparatus by using the uplink frequency band of the second pair indicated by the identification information included in the control message.
1. A radio communication apparatus that performs communication with another radio communication apparatus by using a plurality of frequency bands, the radio communication apparatus comprising:
a receiving unit configured to receive a control message by using a first frequency band during a random access procedure to said another radio communication apparatus, the control message including identification information indicating a second frequency band different from the first frequency band at a predetermined position that does not change even when a bandwidth of the second frequency band is different from the first frequency band; and
a control unit configured to control the radio communication apparatus to perform data communication with said another radio communication apparatus by using the second frequency band indicated by the identification information included at the predetermined position of the control message.
2. A radio communication apparatus that performs communication with another radio communication apparatus by using a plurality of frequency bands, the radio communication apparatus comprising:
a control unit configured to select a second frequency band different from a first frequency band as a frequency band to be used in data communication with said another radio communication apparatus; and
a transmitting unit configured to transmit a control message to said another radio communication apparatus by using the first frequency band during a random access procedure, the control message including identification information indicating the second frequency band selected by the control unit at a predetermined position that does not change even when a bandwidth of the second frequency band is different from the first frequency band.
3. A radio communication system that performs communication by using a plurality of frequency bands, the radio communication system comprising:
a first radio communication apparatus configured to transmit a control message by using a first frequency band during a random access procedure, the control message including identification information indicating a second frequency band different from the first frequency band at a predetermined position that does not change even when a bandwidth of the second frequency band is different from the first frequency band; and
a second radio communication apparatus configured to receive the control message from the first radio communication apparatus by using the first frequency band, and perform data communication by using the second frequency band indicated by the identification information included at the predetermined position of the control message.
4. A radio communication method for use in a radio communication system including first and second radio communication apparatuses that perform communication by using a plurality of frequency bands, the radio communication method comprising:
transmitting, by the first radio communication apparatus, a control message to the second radio communication apparatus by using a first frequency band during a random access procedure by the second radio communication apparatus, the control message including identification information indicating a second frequency band different from the first frequency band at a predetermined position that does not change even when a bandwidth of the second frequency band is different from the first frequency band;
receiving, by the second radio communication apparatus, the control message from the first radio communication apparatus by using the first frequency band; and
performing, by the second radio communication apparatus, data communication by using the second frequency band indicated by the identification information included at the predetermined position of the control message.
