1. A method performed at a mobile terminal configured to operate with a first number of component carriers, comprising:
determining a change in at least one dynamic parameter relating to an operating state of the mobile terminal;
determining, based on the change in the at least one dynamic parameter relating to the operating state of the mobile terminal, a change in a number of component carriers from the first number of component carriers to a second number of component carriers; and
transmitting, to a base station, information indicating the second number of component carriers, wherein the second number of component carriers is less than the first number of component carriers, and wherein the information indicating the second number of component carriers is transmitted via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
