Abstract

The present disclosure prevents the occurrence of interference in an uplink in a case of adding a “UL Scell” while CA is being performed using a Pcell and a “DL Scell.” A mobile station UE according to the present invention is configured such that, in a case where the mobile station UE adds a “UL Scell” while performing CA by using a Pcell and a “DL Scell”, the mobile station UE suspends signal transmission using the “UL Scell” for a predetermined length of time even if the “DL Scell” is in an active state.

Claims

1. A mobile station configured such that, in a case where the mobile station adds an uplink secondary cell while performing carrier aggregation by using a primary cell and a downlink secondary cell, the mobile station suspends signal transmission using the uplink secondary cell for a predetermined length of time even if the downlink secondary cell is in an active state.

2. A mobile station configured such that, in a case where the mobile station adds an uplink secondary cell while performing carrier aggregation by using a primary cell and a downlink secondary cell, the mobile station suspends signal transmission using the uplink secondary cell until receiving an activation command even if the downlink secondary cell is in an active state.

3. A mobile station configured such that, in a case where the mobile station adds an uplink secondary cell while performing carrier aggregation by using a primary cell and a downlink secondary cell, the mobile station suspends signal transmission using the uplink secondary cell until receiving an uplink grant from a radio base station even if the downlink secondary cell is in an active state.

4. A radio base station configured such that, in a case where the radio base station commands a mobile station to add an uplink secondary cell while the mobile station is performing carrier aggregation by using a primary cell and a downlink secondary cell, the radio base station deactivates the downlink secondary cell.

5. A radio base station configured such that, in a case where the radio base station commands a mobile station to add an uplink secondary cell while the mobile station is performing carrier aggregation by using a primary cell and a downlink secondary cell, the radio base station removes the downlink secondary cell and then adds an uplink and downlink secondary cell.

6. A radio base station configured such that, in a case where the radio base station commands a mobile station to add an uplink secondary cell while the mobile station is performing carrier aggregation by using a primary cell and a downlink secondary cell, the radio base station initiates intra-cell handover.
