METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDOVER IN A MULTI-CARRIER SYSTEM

摘要

A method and an apparatus for handover in a multi-carrier system are provided. A user equipment receives multi-carrier measurement information from a base station, and measures carriers based on the multi-carrier measurement information. The user equipment performs a handover with a target base station through an access reference carrier which is one of a plurality of component carriers of which the measurement result is reported. The present invention minimizes a delay caused by the handover, and reduces battery consumption of the user equipment.
