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 and why is it used?
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 moreShould I turn on carrier aggregation?
Carrier Aggregation in smartphones helps offer more bandwidth and faster data speeds by combining different network bands . It’s usually present on most modern mid and high-priced smartphones and could be a deal-breaker for people buying a smartphone.
Read moreWhat is CA combination?
CA configuration: indicates a combination of E-UTRA operating band(s) and CA bandwidth class(es) , to exemplify the configuration CA_1C indicates intra-band contiguous CA on E-UTRA operating band 1 and CA bandwidth class C, CA_1A_1A, indicates intra-band non-contiguous CA on band 1 with a one CC on each side of the …
Read moreWhat is 4G LTE CA?
LTE Advanced Carrier Aggregation, CA, is one of the key techniques used to enable the very high data rates of 4G to be achieved . By combining more than one carrier together, either in the same or different bands it is possible to increase the bandwidth available and in this way increase the capacity of the link.
