Abstract
An objective is to appropriately select a “timing reference cell” and a “Pathloss reference cell” for an Scell in an sTAG. A mobile station UE according to the present invention includes a second management unit 11B configured to use a “UL Cell” managed in association with a “DL only Cell” where to perform a downlink communication only, as a Pcell or an Scell in a pTAG.
Claims1
A mobile station configured to be capable of performing carrier aggregation using a primary cell and a secondary cell, the mobile station comprising:
- a first management unit configured to manage a primary timing adjustment group that includes the primary cell, and a secondary timing adjustment group that does not include the primary cell;
- and
- a second management unit configured to autonomously manage a downlink only cell where to perform a downlink communication only and the primary timing adjustment group, while associating the downlink only cell and the primary timing adjustment group with each other, wherein
- the first management unit is configured to manage each of a timing reference cell and a Pathloss reference cell for each of the primary cell and the secondary cell in the primary timing adjustment group, as the primary cell or a cell designated by a network, and
- the first management unit is configured not to allow the network to designate a timing reference cell and a Pathloss reference cell for the secondary cell in the secondary timing adjustment group.
