CARRIER CONFIGURATION METHOD AND DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of communications. Disclosed are a carrier configuration method and device, for addressing carrier management difficulty of important secondary carriers caused by only partitioning a plurality of component carriers into primary carriers and secondary carriers. The specific solution includes configuring a carrier aggregation model for a user equipment (UE), such that the UE transmits data to a network device according to the carrier aggregation model. The carrier aggregation model comprises the plurality of component carriers comprising at least one core carrier, wherein the at least the core carrier comprises at least one primary core carrier; the core carrier has an uplink transmission function and a downlink transmission function, and the primary core carrier has at least one of the following functions: a system message carrying function, a paging message carrying function, a semi-static scheduling parameter configuring function, a residence reference function, and an encryption reference function. The present invention is used during the process of carrier configuration.
