Abstract

Provided are a device and method supporting multi-carrier waves. The device comprises: a multi-carrier control unit for receiving carrier wave allocation data including data relating to allocated carrier waves and deactivating a portion of the carrier waves included in the carrier wave allocation data or else receiving carrier wave control data including data relating to additional carrier waves; and a multi-carrier operation unit which operates using multiple carrier waves allocated on the basis of the carrier wave allocation data and the carrier wave control data. The base station scheduling burden can be reduced and the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced.
