Abstract:
1. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising: a processor that generates transmission data for a plurality of uplink carriers; a synchronizing component for synchronizing transmit timings between the plurality of uplink carriers, wherein synchronizing transmit timings of the plurality of uplink carriers is based on a phase relationship indicated by a transmit timing of an anchor carrier of the plurality of uplink carriers and at least one transmit timing of at least one non-anchor carrier of the plurality of uplink carriers, and wherein the anchor carrier facilitates communication of system information (SI) for the apparatus and the at least one non-anchor carrier does not support communication of the SI for the apparatus; a transmission component that transmits the plurality of uplink carriers after synchronization by the synchronizing component; and a memory coupled to the processor for storing the transmission data.
