Abstract

A mobile station apparatus receives, on a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel), information used for initiating a random access procedure. The mobile station apparatus also transmits a random access preamble on a physical random access channel resource based on or in response to the information. Furthermore, the mobile station apparatus receives a random access response corresponding to the random access preamble on one specific downlink component carrier among a plurality of downlink component carriers where the one specific downlink component carrier linked to an uplink component carrier on which the random access preamble is transmitted on the physical random access channel resource.
