Abstract

A method for transmitting and receiving data, by a terminal, using multiple carriers in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: when measurement is received from a reference base station, checking whether the measurement object indicates serving cells of the terminal; and if the measurement object indicates the serving cells of the terminal, setting a measurement cycle using a discontinuous reception cycle of corresponding cells.

Claims (14)

1. A method for performing an intra-frequency measurement by a user equipment (UE) served by a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG), the method comprising:

identifying whether an MCG discontinuous reception (DRX) is in use or an SCG DRX is in use;

if the MCG DRX is in use, performing an intra-frequency measurement on a primary cell (PCell) with a first period determined based on an MCG DRX cycle; and

if the SCG DRX is in use, performing an intra-frequency measurement on a primary secondary cell (PSCell) with a second period determined based on an SCG DRX cycle.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PSCell is configured to receive control information for cells in the SCG from the UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MCG includes at least one cell controlled by a base station which controls the PCell.

4. A user equipment (UE) served by a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG), the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

identify whether an MCG discontinuous reception (DRX) is in use or an SCG DRX is in use,

if the MCG DRX is in use, perform an intra-frequency measurement on a primary cell (PCell) with a first period determined based on an MCG DRX cycle, and

if the SCG DRX is in use, perform an intra-frequency measurement on a primary secondary cell (PSCell) with a second period determined based on an SCG DRX cycle.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the PSCell is configured to receive control information for cells in the SCG from the UE.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the MCG includes at least one cell controlled by a base station which controls the PCell.
