Abstract

A first radio base station informs a second radio base station about the configuration information of a second carrier, such as NBC or EC, not having an individual first identifier, as the configuration information of the second carrier is correlated with a first carrier, such as BC, having the individual first identifier. The radio station has a function of performing communication with a radio terminal using simultaneously a plurality of carriers included in the carrier set.

Claims (37)

1. A first base station comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled with the memory, wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to:

support two or more downlink carriers including a first carrier associated with a cell identifier and a second carrier associated with the cell identifier, and

send, to a second base station, configuration information related to the second carrier,

wherein the configuration information includes:

a carrier identifier corresponding to the second carrier,

bandwidth information corresponding to the second carrier, and

information indicating the first carrier.

2. A method for a first base station, the method comprising:

supporting two or more downlink carriers including a first carrier associated with a cell identifier and a second carrier associated with the cell identifier,

sending, to a second base station, configuration information related to the second carrier,

wherein the configuration information includes:

a carrier identifier corresponding to the second carrier,

bandwidth information corresponding to the second carrier, and

information indicating the first carrier.

3. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled with the memory,

wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to support two or more downlink carriers including a first carrier associated with a cell identifier and a second carrier associated with the cell identifier, and communicate with a first base station using the two or more downlink carriers,

wherein the first base station is configured to:

support the two or more downlink carriers, and

send, to a second base station, configuration information related to the second carrier,

wherein the configuration information includes:

a carrier identifier corresponding to the second carrier,

bandwidth information corresponding to the second carrier, and

information indicating the first carrier.

4. A method of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

supporting two or more downlink carriers including a first carrier associated with a cell identifier and a second carrier associated with the cell identifier, and

communicating with a first base station using the two or more downlink carriers,

wherein the first base station is configured to:

support the two or more downlink carriers, and

send, to a second base station, configuration information related to the second carrier,

wherein the configuration information includes:

a carrier identifier corresponding to the second carrier,

bandwidth information corresponding to the second carrier, and

information indicating the first carrier.
