GROUP MESSAGE BASED CARRIER AGGREGATION CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method of controlling aggregation of component carriers from a first spectrum and a second spectrum, comprising:
- transmitting a group message on at least one component carrier from the first spectrum to a group of mobile terminals,wherein said group message controls operation of the mobile terminals of the group with respect to at least one component carrier from the second spectrum.

Abstract
A mobile communication system includes a network based aggregation controller for controlling aggregation of component carriers from a first spectrum and a second spectrum. In addition, the mobile communication system includes a group of mobile terminals. The network based aggregation controller is configured to send a group message on at least one component carrier of the first spectrum to the group of mobile terminals. The mobile terminals receive the group message. A terminal based aggregation controller in each of the mobile terminals is configured to control operation of the respective mobile terminal with respect to the at least one component carrier of the second spectrum. This control is accomplished in response to the received group message.
