Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for enabling a terminal to communicate with data by modifying a connective relationship among component carriers in a mobile communication system to which a carrier aggregation method is applied and a terminal apparatus therefor. The method for enabling the terminal to communicate with the data by modifying the connective relationship among the component carriers in the mobile communication system to which the carrier aggregation method is applied, in connection with one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving a message including identifier information for modifying a connective 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 (25)

1. A method for configuring component carriers at a user equipment in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the method comprising:

receiving a message including identification information of a component carrier;

identifying first configuration information and second configuration information from the message; and

adding the component carrier based on the identification information,

wherein when the second configuration information is empty in the message, the component carrier is added as a downlink component carrier according to the first configuration information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

when the downlink component carrier is added, the message further includes third configuration information for associating the downlink component carrier with one uplink component carrier.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein

when an uplink component carrier is added, the message further includes fourth configuration information for associating the uplink component carrier with one downlink component carrier.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one downlink component carrier is used to measure path loss related with a transmission on the uplink component carrier.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein

when a downlink component carrier and an uplink component carrier are added, the message further includes fourth configuration information for associating the uplink component carrier with one downlink component carrier.

6. A user equipment configuring component carriers in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the user equipment comprising:

a receiving module; and

a processor configured to:

receive a message including identification information of a component carrier via the receiving module,

identify first configuration information and second configuration information from the message, and

add the component carrier based on the identification information,

wherein when the second configuration information is empty in the message, the component carrier is added as a downlink component carrier according to the first configuration information.

7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein

when the first component carrier is added as the downlink component carrier, the message further includes third configuration information for associating the downlink component carrier with one uplink component carrier.

8. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein

when an uplink component carrier is added, the message further includes fourth configuration information for associating the uplink component carrier with one downlink component carrier.

9. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the one downlink component carrier is used to measure path loss related with a transmission on the uplink component carrier.

10. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein when a downlink component carrier and an uplink component carrier are added, the message further includes fourth configuration information for associating the uplink component carrier with one downlink component carrier.
