Abstract

User equipment for communicating with a base station using a secondary cell includes a transmitter that transmits, to the base station, a preamble to start a random access in the secondary cell; a receiver that receives, within a predetermined search space, scheduling information of a random access response to be transmitted, in response to the preamble, from the base station or another base station of a timing advance group including the base station, and that receives a random access response including uplink transmission timing information based on the scheduling information; and a transmission timing controller that controls uplink transmission timing based on the uplink transmission timing information included in the random access response.
