Abstract

The present specification discloses a mobile communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving data using a plurality of carriers in a mobile communication system.

Claims (33)

1. A method by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

performing a communication on at least one serving cell of a master cell group (MCG) associated with a first base station and at least one serving cell of a secondary cell group (SCG) associated with a second base station;

determining whether a number of retransmissions of a radio link control (RLC) data for the SCG is equal to a maximum number of retransmissions;

if the maximum number of retransmissions of the RLC data for the SCG is equal to the maximum number of retransmissions, releasing physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and sounding reference signal (SRS) for the at least one serving cell of the SCG; and

transmitting, to the first base station, information regarding detected radio link failure for the SCG on the at least one serving cell of the MCG,

wherein the information further includes a measurement result of each serving cell of the SCG.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the releasing of the PUCCH and the SRS for the serving cell of the SCG further comprises:

releasing a discontinuous reception for the at least one serving cell of the SCG.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether a number of retransmissions of an RLC data for the MCG is equal to a maximum number of retransmissions; and

if the maximum number of retransmissions of the RLC data for the MCG is equal to the maximum number of retransmissions, releasing PUCCH and SRS for all serving cells associated with the MCG and the SCG.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the releasing of the PUCCH and the SRS for the all serving cells further comprises:

releasing a discontinuous reception for the all serving cells associated with the MCG and the SCG.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the first base station, information regarding radio link failure of the MCG.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the information regarding the radio link failure of the MCG further includes at least one of a measurement result of primary cell of the MCG, an identification of the primary cell in which the MCG radio link failure is detected, and location information of the terminal.

7. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to perform a communication on at least one serving cell of a master cell group (MCG) associated with a first base station and at least one serving cell of a secondary cell group (SCG) associated with a second base station;

determine whether a number of retransmissions of a radio link control (RLC) data for the SCG is equal to a maximum number of retransmissions;

if the maximum number of retransmissions of the RLC data for the SCG is equal to the maximum number of retransmissions, release physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and sounding reference signal (SRS) for the at least one serving cell of the SCG; and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the first base station, information regarding detected radio link failure for the SCG on the at least one serving cell of the MCG, wherein the information further includes a measurement result of each serving cell of the SCG.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

release a discontinuous reception for the at least one serving cell of the SCG.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

determine whether a number of retransmissions of an RLC data for the MCG is equal to a maximum number of retransmissions; and

if the maximum number of retransmissions of the RLC data for the MCG is equal to the maximum number of retransmissions, release PUCCH and SRS for all serving cells associated with the MCG and the SCG.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

release a discontinuous reception for the all serving cells associated with the MCG and the SCG.

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to the first base station, information regarding radio link failure of the MCG.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the information regarding the radio link failure of the MCG further includes at least one of a measurement result of primary cell of the MCG, an identification of the primary cell in which the MCG radio link failure is detected, and location information of the terminal.
