Method and apparatus for controlling random access in wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by a terminal, a random access preamble on one of a primary cell or a secondary cell;
determining, by the terminal, that a number of transmissions of the random access preamble reaches a predetermined value;
detecting a random access problem based on the determining that the number of transmissions of the random access preamble reaches the predetermined value;
indicating, by the terminal, the random access problem to upper layers in response to the transmitting of the random access preamble being on the primary cell; and
stopping, by the terminal, a random access procedure in response to the transmitting of the random access preamble being on the secondary cell.

Abstract
A random access procedure control method and apparatus is provided for controlling a random access procedure efficiently in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation. The method for controlling random access procedure of a terminal in a wireless communication system having a primary cell and at least one secondary cell includes initiating a random access procedure in the primary cell and the at least one secondary cells, detecting a random access failure of a terminal performing the random access procedure, determining whether the random access failure is detected in the primary cell or the at least one secondary cell, and determining whether to continue the random access procedure according to a result of the determining of whether the random access failure is detected.

6. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to transmit a random access preamble to a primary cell and to a secondary; and at least one processor configured to; control the transceiver to transmit the random access preamble on one of the primary cell or the secondary cell, determine that a number of transmissions of the random access preamble reaches a predetermined value, detect a random access problem based on the determination that the number of transmissions of the random access preamble reaches the predetermined value, indicate the random access problem to upper layers in response to controlling the transceiver to transmit the random access preamble on the primary cell, and stop a random access procedure in response to controlling the transceiver to transmit the random access preamble on the secondary cell. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
