Mobile station for performing component carrier-to-timing advance group mapping
Appropriate CC-to-TAG mapping is configured when “UL CA” is performed. A mobile station UE of the invention includes: a management unit 11 configured to manage one or more TAGS; an adjustment unit 12 configured to make adjustment to synchronize transmission timings of uplink signals within CCs which belong to the same TAG; and a transmission unit 13 configured to notify a radio base station eNB of a combination of supported bands, supported CCs, and settable TAGS, and the bands and the CCs grouped in the TAGs included in the combination.
1. A mobile station used in a mobile communication system configured to enable carrier aggregation by use of a plurality of component carriers, the mobile station comprising:
a management unit configured to manage one or a plurality of timing advance groups;
an adjustment unit configured to make adjustment to synchronize transmission timings of uplink signals within the component carriers which belong to the same timing advance group; and
a transmission unit configured to perform notification that notifies the radio base station of UE-EUTRA-Capability including a combination of supported bands and supported component carriers, and settable timing advance groups for the combination.
2. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit is configured to perform the notification in a predetermined order.
3. A mobile station used in a mobile communication system configured to enable carrier aggregation by use of a plurality of component carriers, the mobile station comprising:
circuitry configured to
manage one or a plurality of timing advance groups;
make adjustment to synchronize transmission timings of uplink signals within the component carriers which belong to the same timing advance group; and
perform notification to notify the radio base station of UE-EUTRA-Capability including a combination of supported bands and supported component carriers, and settable timing advance groups for the combination.
4. The mobile station according to claim 3 , wherein the circuitry is configured to perform the notification in a predetermined order.
5. A method performed by a mobile station used in a mobile communication system configured to enable carrier aggregation by use of a plurality of component carriers, the method comprising:
managing one or a plurality of timing advance groups;
making adjustment to synchronize transmission timings of uplink signals within the component carriers which belong to the same timing advance group; and
performing notification that notifies the radio base station of UE-EUTRA-Capability including a combination of supported bands and supported component carriers, and settable timing advance groups for the combination.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the notification is performed in a predetermined order.
