MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND USER EQUIPMENT DEVICE

摘要

A technology is provided to specify a secondary cell on which a random access channel is to be transmitted when a random access procedure toward a secondary cell has occurred at user equipment. In a mobile communication system including a first base station, a second base station, and user equipment connected to the first base station as a master base station, upon triggering a random access procedure toward a cell of the second base station, the user equipment is configured to perform a contention based random access procedure on a secondary cell, based upon one of
(a) selecting the secondary cell on which a random access signal is to be transmitted in accordance with an instruction from the first base station;
(b) selecting the secondary cell on which the random access signal is to be transmitted using implicit information in the user equipment; and
(c) determining autonomously at the user equipment the secondary cell on which the random access signal is to be transmitted.
