METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT IN A MULTI-CARRIER COMMUNICATION NETWORK SYSTEM

摘要

Method and arrangement in a base station for scheduling communication between the base station and a user equipment in a multi-carrier communication network system. The base station and the user equipment are comprised in the multi-carrier communication network system, and adapted to communicate with each other on downlink carriers and uplink carriers in at least a first frequency band and a second frequency band over a radio interface. The method comprises signalling an indication to the user equipment on the downlink carrier in the first frequency band, which the user equipment currently is scheduled on, to switch to a second carrier in order to communicate data and/or control signalling on the second carrier. In addition, a method and arrangement in a user equipment for assisting the base station in scheduling radio resources are described.
