Abstract:
1. An operating method of a Mobile Station (MS) for supporting multicarrier transmission in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: performing a multicarrier capability negotiation with a Base Station (BS) during a network entry procedure; after the network entry procedure is completed, receiving configuration information on carriers supported by the BS, which is periodically broadcasted by the BS; determining a subset of carriers which are simultaneously processable by the MS, from among the carriers supported by the BS, based on the configuration information; transmitting a first control message including information on the subset of carriers determined by the MS, to the BS; and receiving a second control message including information of carriers assigned based on the subset of carriers determined by the MS, for a multicarrier operation from the BS, wherein the second control message comprises a number of the carriers assigned by the BS to the MS and indexes of the carriers assigned by the BS to the MS.
