Abstract
A method, base station, terminal and communication system for updating component carriers are provided. Wherein, status information of the terminal, base station and/or component carrier is acquired; whether the status information accords with the predetermined condition is determined; an old component carrier is replaced by a new component carrier, or a new component carrier is added in the even that the predetermined condition is met. With the embodiments of the present invention, the component carrier which the terminal would use is updated more effectively.

An electronic device, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- communicate with a terminal device via at least one component carrier;
- acquire a plurality of location points of the terminal device at different moments of time;
- determine a speed and a moving direction of the terminal device based on the plurality of the location points and the different moments of time;
- and
- in a case that the terminal device has left a service area;
- determine a candidate component carrier, to serve the terminal device as a secondary component carrier together with the at least one component carrier in a carrier aggregation communication, based on the speed and the moving direction of the terminal device, wherein the candidate component carrier services another service area located in the moving direction of the terminal device;
- and
- in a case that the terminal device accesses the candidate component carrier, deactivate the at least one component carrier or handover the at least one component carrier.
