Claim Text:
1. A mobile communication system having a mobile station configured to transmit an uplink signal to a radio base station by using a plurality of carriers having different carrier frequencies, comprising: a timer management circuitry configured to manage a Timing Advance (TA) timer corresponding to the plurality of carriers; and a state management circuitry configured to manage a state of each of the plurality of carriers, wherein the state management circuitry is configured to set the state of each of the plurality of carriers, whose TA timer has expired, to an asynchronous state, and the mobile station is configured to transmit a Random Access Channel (RACH) Preamble in the carrier, when the carrier specified by a Carrier Indicator Field (CIF), the CIF being transmitted via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) from the radio base station, is in an asynchronous state, wherein the mobile communication system is configured for the plurality of carriers having different carrier frequencies from the radio base station.
