Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un système de communication caractérisé en ce qu'un dispositif formant station de base (2) et un dispositif formant station mobile (1) agrègent une pluralité de cellules de desserte pour communiquer. Les cellules de desserte comprennent : un état désactivé qui correspond à un état dans lequel les cellules de desserte ne sont pas utilisées pour la communication ; et un état activé qui correspond à un état dans lequel les cellules de desserte sont utilisées pour la communication. La pluralité agrégée de cellules de desserte est configurée par une cellule de desserte primaire qui n'est pas désactivée et par au moins une cellule de desserte secondaire qui est activée ou désactivée. Quand des données nécessaires pour réaliser une procédure d'accès aléatoire sont définies dans la cellule de desserte primaire et la cellule de desserte secondaire, le dispositif formant station de base demande au dispositif formant station mobile de débuter la procédure d'accès aléatoire dans la cellule de desserte secondaire en activant la cellule de desserte secondaire définie avec les données nécessaires à la réalisation de la procédure d'accès aléatoire. Quand la cellule de desserte secondaire définie avec les données nécessaires à la réalisation de la procédure d'accès aléatoire par le dispositif formant station de base est activée (S201, S301), le dispositif formant station mobile débute la procédure d'accès aléatoire dans la cellule de desserte secondaire (S202, S302).
