Abstract
A method, base station, terminal and communication system for selecting a component carrier are provided in the present invention. The method includes the following steps: determining the coverage range of each available carrier which can be used by the terminal; determining whether the distribution of the coverage ranges of all available carriers accords with a preset distribution mode; in the case of according with the presetting distribution mode, at least according to a rule which is determined by the distribution mode, determining a component carrier to be used. With the embodiments provided in the invention, a component carrier used by the terminal can be reasonably chosen.

An electronic device, comprising
- circuitry configured to,
- conduct a random access procedure on a component carrier enabled by a base station;
- acquire a radio resource control reconfiguration information comprising radio resource configuration information of one or more secondary component carriers selected through a secondary component carrier selection based on a coverage distribution and signal quality of different available carriers;
- wherein the component carrier is designated as a primary component carrier of the electronic device, and the primary component carrier and one or more secondary component carriers support communications with the base station in a carrier aggregation communication scheme.
A method for supporting a carrier aggregation communication scheme, comprising
- conducting a random access procedure on a component carrier enabled by a base station;
- acquiring a radio resource control reconfiguration information comprising radio resource configuration information of one or more secondary component carriers selected through a secondary component carrier selection based on a coverage distribution and signal quality of different available carriers;
- wherein the component carrier is designated as a primary component carrier of the electronic device, and the primary component carrier and one or more secondary component carriers support communications with the base station in a carrier aggregation communication scheme.
A non-transitory computer storage medium that contains computer readable instructions that when executed by a processor performs a method for supporting a carrier aggregation communication scheme, the method comprising:
- conducting a random access procedure on a component carrier enabled by a base station;
- acquiring a radio resource control reconfiguration information comprising radio resource configuration information of one or more secondary component carriers selected through a secondary component carrier selection based on a coverage distribution and signal quality of different available carriers;
- wherein the component carrier is designated as a primary component carrier of the electronic device, and the primary component carrier and one or more secondary component carriers support communications with the base station in a carrier aggregation communication scheme.
