Identifying multi-component carrier cells

摘要

Methods and apparatus for generating and determining multi-component carrier cells, without the use of neighbor-cell lists, are described. Methods for generating and informing a communication system terminal about other component carriers belonging to a certain cell identity (ID), and methods and apparatus for a mobile terminal utilizing extended synchronization information for doing multi-component carrier cell search are described. Also, methods for multi-component carrier measurements and methods of reporting such measurements to a network are described.
