METHOD FOR EFFICIENTLY MANAGING CARRIERS IN BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a mobile communication system, and more specifically, to a method and a device for managing carriers allocated to a terminal in a broadband wireless access system that supports multi-carrier. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for managing carriers by a terminal in a broadband wireless access system supporting multi-carrier can comprise the steps of: transmitting, to a base station, activation request information for requesting the activation of at least one second carrier allocated from the base station through a first carrier; receiving, from the base station, a first message that includes activation indication information for indicating the activation of at least one target carrier of the at least one second carrier; and transmitting to the base station a second message which notifies the base station whether the at least one target carrier is ready per activation. At this point, it is desirable to determine the activation request information according to the power state of the terminal.
