Abstract

A communication method supporting a plurality of serving cells in a wireless communication system is provided. A terminal receives a capability enquiry from a network, and accordingly transmits capability information to the network. The capability information comprises an upper band combination and a simultaneous indicator indicating whether the upper band combination supports simultaneous reception (RX)-transmission (TX).

Claims (13)

1. A method for communication in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of serving cells, the method comprising:

receiving a capability enquiry from a network; and

transmitting capability information to the network upon receiving the capability enquiry,

wherein the capability information comprises a primary band combination and a simultaneous indicator indicating whether a band combination including the primary band combination supports simultaneous reception (RX)-transmission (TX), and

wherein when the simultaneous indicator indicates that the band combination supports the simultaneous RX-TX and when the primary band combination does not support the simultaneous RX-TX, it is implicitly indicated that the simultaneous RX-TX is supported for a secondary band combination except for a band belonging to the primary band combination among the band combination.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of serving cells comprise a frequency division duplex (FDD) cell and a time division duplex (TDD) cell.

3. An apparatus on which a plurality of serving cells are configured in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor operatively coupled to the RF unit and configured to:

receive a capability enquiry from a network; and

transmit capability information to the network upon receiving the capability enquiry,

wherein the capability information comprises a primary band combination and a simultaneous indicator indicating whether a band combination including the primary band combination supports simultaneous reception (RX)-transmission (TX), and

wherein when the simultaneous indicator indicates that the band combination supports the simultaneous RX-TX and when the primary band combination does not support the simultaneous RX-TX, it is implicitly indicated that the simultaneous RX-TX is supported for a secondary band combination except for a band belonging to the primary band combination among the band combination.
