US 2020/0008199 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATION USING A PLURALITY OF CELLS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The present invention provides a cell configuration method of a base station in a mobile communication system supporting Carrier Aggregation (CA) which includes configuring a first cell consisting of at least two sectors formed with different antennas to a terminal, configuring a second cell consisting of at least two sectors formed with different antennas to the terminal, and communicating with the terminal through the first and second cells, wherein one of the first and second cells consists of sectors using same Physical Cell Identifier (PCID) and the other consists of sectors using different PCIDs.

Dependent claims

A terminal for cell configuration in the mobile communication supporting carrier aggregation (CA), the terminal comprising:

a communication unit configured to transmit and receive signals;
and
a control unit configured to:
control receiving configuration information for configuring a first cell,
control receiving configuration information for adding a second cell, and
control communicating via the first and second cells,
wherein sectors of one of the first and second cells are set same Physical Cell Identifier (PCID) and sectors of the other one of the first and second cells are set different PCIDs.
