Method and apparatus for deactivating secondary carriers in mobile communication system using carrier aggregation
First Claim
1. A method by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the terminal, first information for activating a secondary cell (SCell) from a base station;
activating, by the terminal, the SCell based on the first information;
starting, by the terminal, a timer associated with the SCell;
restarting, by the terminal, if second information for the activated SCell is received from the base station, the timer associated with the SCell; and
if the timer expires, applying by the terminal, one or more corresponding actions for deactivating the SCell no later than in a predefined subframe,wherein the one or more corresponding actions include at least one of preventing, by the terminal, from monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the SCell and preventing, by the terminal, from monitoring a PDCCH for the SCell.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus in a mobile communication system are provided. The method by a terminal in the mobile communication system includes receiving, by the terminal, first information for activating a secondary cell (SCell) from a base station, activating, by the terminal, the SCell based on the first information, starting, by the terminal, a timer associated with the SCell, restarting, by the terminal, if second information for the activated SCell is received from the base station, the timer associated with the SCell, and if the timer expires, applying by the terminal, one or more corresponding actions for deactivating the SCell no later than in a predefined subframe. The one or more corresponding actions include at least one of preventing, by the terminal, from monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the SCell and preventing, by the terminal, from monitoring a PDCCH for the SCell.

6. A method by a base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
-
generating, by the base station, first information for activating a secondary cell (SCell); and transmitting, by the base station, the first information to a terminal, wherein the SCell is activated based on the first information, a timer associated with the SCell is started, if the timer expires in subframe n one or more corresponding actions for deactivating the SCell are applied no later than in a predefined subframe by the terminal, and the one or more corresponding actions include at least one of preventing, by the terminal, from monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the SCell and preventing, by the terminal, from monitoring a PDCCH for the SCell. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
