Abstract

A base station device uses a downlink control channel and instructs a mobile station device to perform a random access procedure. The mobile station device switches, according to whether or not random access parameters are included in parameters of a secondary cell that has been allocated to the mobile station device, between a first random access procedure in which information in a carrier indicator field included in the downlink control channel is not used for selection of a cell in which a random access procedure is performed, and a second random access procedure in which information in the carrier indicator field included in the downlink control channel is used for selection of a cell in which a random access procedure is performed.

Claims (12)

1. A mobile station device to which a plurality of cells are allocated by a base station device, the mobile station device communicating with the base station device via the plurality of cells, the mobile station device comprising:

receiving circuitry that receives parameters of a secondary cell that has been allocated to the mobile station device by the base station device, the parameters including random access parameters;

random access processing circuitry that, in a case where the mobile station device is instructed by the base station device to perform a random access procedure by using a downlink control channel;

regards indicated information in a carrier indicator field as information on an identifier of a component carrier;

initiates a random access procedure in a secondary cell, in which the indicated information in the carrier identifier field included in the downlink control channel is used, in a case where the identifier of the component carrier indicates the secondary cell that has been allocated to the mobile station device and the secondary cell is in an activated state; and

aborts, in a case where an identifier of the component carrier does not indicate a secondary cell that has been allocated to the mobile station device or in a case where the secondary cell is in a deactivated state, a random access procedure in the secondary cell.

2. A random access processing method of a mobile station device to which a plurality of cells are allocated by a base station device, the mobile station device communicating with the base station device via the plurality of cells, the method comprising:

receiving parameters of a secondary, cell that has been allocated to the mobile station device by the base station device, the parameters including random access parameters;

in a case where the mobile station device is instructed by the base station device to perform a random access procedure by using a downlink control channel, the mobile station device performs the steps of:

regarding, indicated information in a carrier indicator field as information on an identifier of a component carrier;

initiating a random access procedure in a secondary cell, in which the indicated information in the carrier identifier field included in the downlink control channel is used in a case where the identifier of the component carrier indicates the secondary cell that has been allocated to the mobile station device and the secondary cell is in an activated state; and

aborting, in a case where an identifier of the component carrier does not indicate a secondary cell that has been allocated to the mobile station device or in a case where the secondary cell is in a deactivated state, a random access procedure in the secondary cell.
