APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING SCANNING OF ASSIGNED SECONDARY CARRIER IN WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A scan reporting method for an inactive secondary carrier in a wireless access system, comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, a multicarrier advertisement (MC-ADV) message including reference carrier information, the reference carrier information indicating an index of carrier that works as a reference carrier representing a carrier group;
performing the scanning for at least one inactive secondary carrier; and
reporting, to the base station, a scan result for the at least one inactive secondary carrier,wherein the scan result reporting is performed for inactive secondary carrier corresponding to the lowest carrier index of assigned secondary carriers linked to the reference carrier when the assigned secondary carriers linked to the reference carrier are all inactive.

Abstract
A scan reporting method for an inactive secondary carrier in a wireless access system includes receiving, from a base station, a multicarrier advertisement (MC-ADV) message including reference carrier information, the reference carrier information indicating a carrier index of a reference carrier representing a carrier group, performing scanning of an assigned secondary carrier including at least one of an active secondary carrier and an inactive secondary carrier, and reporting, to the base station, the scan result of the inactive secondary carrier, wherein the scan result of a carrier corresponding to the lowest carrier index, of assigned secondary carriers linked to the reference carrier is reported to the base station.

10. A scan reporting method for an inactive secondary carrier in a wireless access system, comprising:
-
transmitting, to a terminal, a multicarrier advertisement (MC-ADV) message including reference carrier information, the reference carrier information indicating an index of carrier that works as a reference carrier representing a carrier group; transmitting, to the terminal, a scan response (SCN-RSP) message indicating scanning of an inactive secondary carrier of assigned secondary carriers of the terminal; and receiving, from the terminal, a scan report of an inactive secondary carrier corresponding to the lowest carrier index of inactive secondary carriers linked to the reference carrier. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A terminal for performing scan reporting of an inactive secondary carrier in a wireless access system, comprising:
-
a radio frequency unit configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal to and from the exterior; and a controller connected to the radio frequency unit, wherein the controller is configured to control the radio frequency unit to receive from a base station a multicarrier advertisement (MC-ADV) message including reference carrier information indicating an index of carrier that works as a reference carrier representing a carrier group, control the radio frequency unit to perform scanning for at least one inactive secondary carrier, and control the radio frequency unit to report, to the base station, the scan result for inactive secondary carrier corresponding to the lowest carrier index of assigned secondary carriers linked to the reference carrier when the assigned secondary carriers linked to the reference carrier are all inactive. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
