Mobile station, base station, and communication control method
A mobile station which configures a plurality of component carriers to communicate with a base station is discloses herein including a reception unit configured to receive from the base station a gap pattern according to which a portion of an inter-frequency measurement duration is used for data communication and a communication control unit configured to control communication according to the gap pattern.
1. A mobile station which configures a plurality of component carriers to communicate with a base station, comprising:
a receiver configured to receive from the base station a gap pattern according to which a portion of an inter-frequency measurement duration is used for data communication; and
a processor configured to control communication according to the gap pattern.
2. The mobile station as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein, according to the gap pattern, a first subframe and a last subframe in the inter-frequency measurement duration are not used for the data communication and other subframes in the inter-frequency measurement duration are used for the data communication.
3. The mobile station as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit to the base station a terminal capability.
4. The mobile station as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit to the base station a terminal capability.
5. A base station which configures a plurality of component carriers to communicate with a mobile station, comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit to the mobile station a gap pattern according to which a portion of an inter-frequency measurement duration is used for data communication; and
a processor configured to control communication according to the gap pattern.
6. A communication control method in a mobile station which configures a plurality of component carriers to communicate with a base station, comprising the steps of:
receiving from the base station a gap pattern according to which a portion of an inter-frequency measurement duration is used for data communication; and
controlling communication according to the gap pattern.
7. A communication control method in a base station which configures a plurality of component carriers to communicate with a mobile station, comprising the steps of:
transmitting to the mobile station a gap pattern according to which a portion of an inter-frequency measurement duration is used for data communication; and
controlling communication according to the gap pattern.
