Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for enabling a terminal to communicate with data by modifying an association relationship among component carriers in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation and an apparatus therefor. The method in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: receiving a message including identifier information for modifying an association relationship among at least one downlink component carrier and at least one uplink component carrier from a base station; receiving predetermined data through at least one downlink component carrier from the base station; and transmitting feedback data to the base station for data received through the uplink component carrier modified according to the identifier information.

Claims (22)

1. A method for power headroom reporting by a communication device in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation of a plurality of component carriers, the method comprising:

receiving, by the communication device, a message including configuration information for an uplink carrier;

modifying, by the communication device, a configuration of the component carriers according to the configuration information,

wherein when the configuration information includes identification information indicating a downlink carrier:

measuring, by the communication device, path loss of the downlink carrier, and

transmitting, by the communication device, power headroom information for uplink transmission on the uplink carrier based on the measured path loss, and

wherein the uplink carrier and the downlink carrier are the same component carrier or different component carriers.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message includes information for reconfiguring radio resource control (RRC) connection of the user equipment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom information is obtained from a difference between a maximum transmission power for the uplink carrier and an estimated transmission power for the uplink carrier.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the configuration of the component carriers includes adding the uplink carrier to the component carriers.

5. A communication device configured to perform power headroom reporting in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation of a plurality of component carriers, the communication device comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor that:

controls the transceiver to receive a message including configuration information for an uplink carrier,

modifies a configuration of the component carriers according to the configuration information,

wherein when the configuration information includes identification information indicating a downlink carrier, the processor further:

measures a path loss of the downlink carrier, and

controls the transceiver to transmit power headroom information for uplink transmission on the uplink carrier based on the measured path loss, and

wherein the uplink carrier and the downlink carrier are the same component carrier or different component carriers.

6. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the message includes information for reconfiguring radio resource control (RRC) connection of the user equipment.

7. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the power headroom information is obtained from a difference between a maximum transmission power for the uplink carrier and an estimated transmission power for the uplink carrier.

8. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the processor, in modifying the configuration of the component carriers, adds the first uplink carrier to the component carriers.
