Abstract  Abstract

Technology for configuring activating and deactivating component carriers in carrier aggregation is disclosed. One method comprises configuring a Primary Component Carrier (PCC) as a primary component carrier pair comprising a downlink primary component carrier (DL PCC) and an uplink primary component carrier (UL PCC). At least one Secondary Component Carrier is configured at the eNode B as a secondary component carrier pair comprising a downlink secondary component carrier (DL SCC) and an uplink component carrier (UL SCC) based on a carrier aggregation capability of a selected UE. An activation and deactivation of each SCC is communicated from the eNode B to the UE with a bitmap carried by a media access control (MAC) control element. A bit set to 1 denotes activation of a corresponding SCC at the UE. A bit set to 0 denotes deactivation of a corresponding SCC at the UE.
