FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: global system for mobile communication (GSM) network supports a multiple-carrier operation mode on a downlink and/or uplink for a mobile station. The mobile station receives a signal for allocating a set of carriers for a first communication line in the GSM network, receives a signal for allocating at least one carrier for a second communication line in the GSM network and exchanges data with the GSM network through the set of carriers for the first communication line and at least through one carrier for the second communication line. The first communication line can be a downlink and the second can be an uplink or vice-versa. The mobile station can receive data on the set of carriers simultaneously for the multiple-carrier operation mode on the downlink or for the multiple-carrier operation mode on the uplink.
EFFECT: increased transmission capacity.
