PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for communication on multiple carriers in a wireless communication network.SOLUTION: One or more carriers among multiple carriers available for communication are assigned to a first base station. One or more carriers not assigned to the first base station are assigned to a second base station. Each base station may communicate on each assigned carrier at a first (e.g., full) transmit power level and may communicate on each unassigned carrier at a lower second (e.g., lower) transmit power level. The first and second base stations may belong in different power classes or support different association types. Control information is sent on a designated carrier to support communication on multiple carriers, and a base station broadcasts bar information indicating the status of carriers. |
