Carrier aggregation is a technique that is used in wireless communication to increase the data rate per user, whereby multiple frequency blocks (called component carriers) are assigned to the same user . The maximum possible data rate per user is increased the more frequency blocks are assigned to a user.
Read moreWhat are the benefits of carrier aggregation?
Advantages of carrier aggregation ➨It helps in increasing bandwidth allocation to the UEs (or mobile subscribers) by combining the CCs . In 3GPP R-10 supports aggregation of 5 CCs while R-13 supports aggregation of 32 CCs. This helps in achieving high downlink and uplink data rates.
Read moreWhat is meant by carrier aggregation?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Carrier aggregation is a technique that is used in wireless communication to increase the data rate per user, whereby multiple frequency blocks (called component carriers) are assigned to the same user .
Read moreWhat is carrier aggregation 4G+?
Carrier Aggregation (CA) is a feature of LTE-Advanced that allows mobile operators & devices to combine two or more LTE carriers into a single data change . It leads to an increase in the capacity of the network and the data rates by exploiting fragmented spectrum allocations.
Read moreWhat is carrier aggregation in 5G?
Carrier Aggregation is the foundation for deploying high-performing 4G and 5G networks . It provides the unique capability of aggregating several frequency bands for higher peak rates and increased cell coverage. Ericsson offers an industry-leading portfolio of Carrier Aggregation features for both 4G and 5G.
Read moreWhat is PCC and SCC?
A primary component carrier (PCC) is complemented with one or several secondary component carriers (SCC) . The PCC handles all the control signaling while the SCC is used to increase the data throughput. The carriers can be FDD, TDD or a mix of FDD and TDD with location in one or multiple frequency bands.
Read moreWhat is PCell and SCell in LTE?
The configured multiple serving cells (primary cell (PCell) and secondary cell (SCell)) are aggregated together to serve the UE . The PCell perform random access (RA) procedure, radio link monitoring (RLM), handover procedure and PUCCH transmission.
