Method and apparatus for sending and receiving multi-carrier information in multi-carrier communication system

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for sending and receiving multi-carrier information to support multi-carrier mode operations in a multi-carrier communication system. The method of the present invention for sending and receiving multi-carrier information comprises a step wherein a base station transmits system information on a supportable multi-carrier to a terminal via a broadcast message; a step wherein a unicast message is received from the terminal, including information regarding the carriers that the terminal prefers or is able to support in the multi-carrier list included in said system information; and a step wherein multi-carrier allocation information, including the primary carrier and secondary carrier that the terminal will use, is transmitted to the terminal via unicast message.
