Downlink multicarrier mobile communication network configuration

摘要

The disclosure relates to a method in a mobile communication network for configuring the network for downlink multicarrier data transmission from a network 5 node to a mobile terminal. The method includes the step (210) of receiving a mobile terminal capability signalling in a network node. In a subsequent step (220) at least two carriers are assigned to the mobile terminal in a downlink multicarrier assignment based on information received in the mobile terminal capability signalling. The method also includes a further step of allocating (230), in each 10 radio block period, one or more of the assigned carriers for communication with the mobile terminal. The disclosure also relates to a mobile terminal configured to receive downlink multicarrier data transmission, and a network node configured for downlink multicarrier data transmission. 15 (Figure 2) Receive mobile terminal carrier capability signalling 210 Assign at least two carriers in one or more 220 downlink multicarrier assignment Allocate, in each radio block period, one ormore 230 of the assigned carriers for communication with the mobile terminal Figure 2 Receive mobile terminal carrier capability signalling 210 Retrieve information on supported maximum carrier separation Retrieve information on maximum number 212 of carriers Retrieve multislot capability reduction 213 information Figure 2a
