Patent ID: 8848662

Claim:
A method of performing a handover procedure in a wireless communication, the method comprising: transferring data to a serving cell using a plurality of different frequencies, wherein the plurality of different frequencies are used in a carrier aggregation scheme supported by a LTE-A (Long Term Evolution System-Advanced) system; receiving a handover command from the serving cell, wherein the handover command includes target cell information, wherein the handover command further includes frequency information indicating a termination of data transfer from the serving cell, wherein the frequency information indicates a specific frequency among the plurality of different frequencies on which the data transfer from the serving cell should be terminated, and wherein the data transfer from the serving cell on the specific frequency is terminated after the reception of the handover command while data transfer from the serving cell on frequencies other than the specific frequency is maintained; and transmitting a handover response to a target cell to perform a random access procedure with the target cell, wherein the handover response is transmitted to the target cell using the specific frequency, wherein a handover complete message is received from the target cell after completion of the random access procedure, and wherein the data transfer from the serving cell on the frequencies other than the specific frequency is maintained until the handover complete message is received from the target cell.
