USER TERMINAL, RADIO BASE STATION, AND RADIO COMMUNICATION METHOD
First Claim
1. A user terminal that communicates with a radio base station by means of carrier aggregation using a plurality of component carriers (CCs), the user terminal comprising:
- a receiving section that receives DL signals transmitted from each CC;
a transmission section that transmits UL signals; and
a control section that controls transmission operations in the transmission section,wherein, when a plurality of CCs, including at least a first CC, which corresponds to a primary CC of an existing system, and a third CC, which is different from the first CC and a second CC that corresponds to a secondary CC of the existing system, are configured, the control section applies, to the third CC, UL signal transmission operations that are different from those of the second CC.

Abstract
The present invention is designed to allow adequate communication even when the number of CCs that can be configured in a user terminal is expanded from that of existing systems and/or when CA is executed using unlicensed CCs. A user terminal communicates with a radio base station by means of carrier aggregation using a plurality of component carriers (CCs), and has a receiving section that receives DL signals transmitted from each CC, a transmission section that transmits UL signals, and a control section that controls transmission operations in the transmission section, and, when a plurality of CCs, including at least a first CC, which corresponds to a primary CC of an existing system, and a third CC, which is different from the first CC and a second CC that corresponds to a secondary CC of the existing system, are configured, the control section applies, to the third CC, UL signal transmission operations that are different from those of the second CC.

9. A radio communication method in a user terminal that communicates with a radio base station by means of carrier aggregation using a plurality of component carriers (CCs), the radio communication method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving DL signals transmitted from each CC; and transmitting UL signals, wherein, when a plurality of CCs, including at least a first CC, which corresponds to a primary CC of an existing system, and a third CC, which is different from the first CC and a second CC that corresponds to a secondary CC of the existing system, are configured, UL signal transmission operations that are different from those of the second CC are applied to the third CC.

10. A radio base station that communicates with a user terminal that employs carrier aggregation using a plurality of component carriers (CCs), the radio base station comprising:
-
a transmission section that transmits DL signals in each CC; and a control section that controls allocation of UL signals; wherein, when a plurality of CCs, including at least a first CC, which corresponds to a primary CC of an existing system, and a third CC, which is different from the first CC and a second CC that corresponds to a secondary CC of the existing system, are configured in the user terminal, the control section allocates resources for a plurality of third CCs at the same time, from one of the first CC and/or the second CC.
