Abstract: A method for transmitting, by a base station, signals in a communication system. Control information for a subsidiary carrier band is transmitted to a mobile station via a primary carrier band. Data is transmitted to the mobile station via the subsidiary carrier band based on the control information and via the primary carrier band.
