Abstract

An ASN encoder of a mobile station apparatus generates transmission and reception capability information including information relating to one or a plurality of component carriers to be used for communication with a base station apparatus. A transmission and reception apparatus transmits the transmission and reception capability information to the base station apparatus. A controller controls the communication with the base station apparatus, using the one or the plurality of component carriers assigned by the base station apparatus based on the transmission and reception capability information.
