Abstract
A method and an apparatus for supporting multiple frequency bands efficiently in a mobile communication system are provided. The method includes generating first system information including a frequency band indicator indicating a frequency band supported by the base station and an additional frequency band indicator indicating at least one frequency band supported by the base station, and broadcasting the first system information.
Claims26
A method for supporting multiple frequency bands by a base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- generating first system information including information of at least one frequency band supported by a cell;
- transmitting the first system information to a terminal;
- generating second system information including at least one additional spectrum emission value corresponding to the at least one frequency band indicated by the first system information;
- and
- transmitting the second system information to the terminal,
- wherein an access to the cell is determined by the terminal based on the first system information and the second information.
A base station supporting a plurality of frequency bands in a mobile communication system, the base station comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal;
- and
- a controller configured to control to generate first system information including information of at least one frequency band supported by a cell, to transmit the first system information to a terminal, to generate second system information including at least one additional spectrum emission value corresponding to the at least one frequency band indicated by the first system information, and to transmit the second system information to the terminal,
- wherein an access to the cell is determined by the terminal based on the first system information and the second information.
A method for supporting multiple frequency bands by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving first system information including information of at least one frequency band supported by a cell from a base station;
- determining whether the at least one frequency band indicated by the first system information includes one or more frequency bands supported by the terminal;
- receiving second system information including at least one additional spectrum emission value corresponding to the at least one frequency band indicated by the first system information from the base station;
- and
- determining whether an access to the cell is available based on the first system information and the second system information.
A terminal for supporting a plurality of frequency bands in a mobile communication system, the terminal comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal;
- and
- a controller configured to control to receive first system information including information of at least one frequency band supported by the cell from a base station, to determine whether the frequency band indicated by the first system information includes one or more frequency bands supported by the terminal, to receive second system information including at least one additional spectrum emission value corresponding to the at least one frequency band indicated by the first system information from the base station, and to determine whether an access to the cell is available based on the first system information and the second system information.
