Abstract

A mobile communication system includes a base station apparatus and a mobile station apparatus. The base station apparatus is configured to provide, to the mobile station apparatus via paging, a notification of updating of system information corresponding to a first component carrier, and provide, to the mobile station apparatus via radio resource control signaling, updated system information corresponding to a second component carrier. The mobile station apparatus is configured to detect, from the base station apparatus via the paging, the notification of updating of the system information corresponding to the first component carrier, and obtain, from the base station apparatus, the updated system information broadcasted in the first component carrier, and obtain, from the base station apparatus via the radio resource control signaling, the updated system information corresponding to the second component carrier.

Claims

1. A mobile station apparatus comprising:

a wireless section configured to;

communicate with a base station apparatus by aggregation using a plurality of component carriers including a first component carrier and one or more second component carriers; and

a radio resource control section configured to;

detect, from the base station apparatus, a notification of updating of system information broadcasted in the first component carrier, wherein

the notification is transmitted using a paging channel on the first component carrier;

obtain, from the base station apparatus, the system information; and

obtain, from the base station apparatus, system information corresponding to the second component carrier, wherein

the system information corresponding to the second component carrier is updated using dedicated radio resource control signaling.

2. The mobile station apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein

the system information corresponding to the second component carrier includes a common radio resource configuration of the second component carrier, and

the dedicated radio resource control signaling is transmitted in a case where the second component carrier is configured to the mobile station apparatus.

3. A base station apparatus, comprising:

a wireless section configured to;

communicate with a mobile station apparatus by aggregation using a plurality of component carriers including a first component carrier and one or more second component carriers for the mobile station apparatus; and

a radio resource control section configured to;

provide, to the mobile station apparatus, a notification of updating of system information broadcasted in the first component carrier, wherein

the notification is transmitted using a paging channel on the first component carrier;

provide, to the mobile station apparatus, the system information; and

provide, to the mobile station apparatus, system information corresponding to the second component carrier, wherein

the system information corresponding to the second component carrier is updated using dedicated radio resource control signaling.

4. The base station apparatus as defined in claim 3, wherein

the system information corresponding to the second component carrier includes a common radio resource configuration of the second component carrier, and

the dedicated radio resource control signaling is transmitted in a case where the second component carrier is configured to the mobile station apparatus.

5. A method performed by a mobile station apparatus, the method comprising:

communicating with a base station apparatus by aggregation using a plurality of component carriers including a first component carrier and one or more second component carriers;

detecting, from the base station apparatus, a notification of updating of system information broadcasted in the first component carrier, wherein

the notification is transmitted using a paging channel on the first component carrier;

obtaining, from the base station apparatus, the system information; and

obtaining, from the base station apparatus, system information corresponding to the second component carrier, wherein

the system information corresponding to the second component carrier is updated using dedicated radio resource control signaling.

6. The method as defined in claim 5, wherein

the system information corresponding to the second component carrier includes a common radio resource configuration of the second component carrier, and

the dedicated radio resource control signaling is transmitted in a case where the second component carrier is configured to the mobile station apparatus.

7. A processing section executing the method as defined in claim 5, wherein

the method is executed by a plurality of processing blocks and an upper block which collectively controls a plurality of the processing blocks.

8. A method performed by a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

communicating with a mobile station apparatus by aggregation using a plurality of component carriers including a first component carrier and one or more second component carriers for the mobile station apparatus;

providing, to the mobile station apparatus, a notification of updating of system information broadcasted in the first component carrier, wherein

the notification is transmitted using a paging channel on the first component carrier;

providing, to the mobile station apparatus, the system information; and

providing, to the mobile station apparatus, system information corresponding to the second component carrier, wherein

the system information corresponding to the second component carrier is updated using dedicated radio resource control signaling.

9. The method as defined in claim 8, wherein

the system information corresponding to the second component carrier includes a common radio resource configuration of the second component carrier, and

the dedicated radio resource control signaling is transmitted in a case where the second component carrier is configured to the mobile station apparatus.

10. A processing section executing the method as defined in claim 8, wherein

the method is executed by a plurality of processing blocks and an upper block which collectively controls a plurality of the processing blocks.
