no

1-CA-group-based: A CA group is a logical set of cells. In CA-group-based

configuration mode, only the cells in a CA group can be carrier-
aggregated for a CA UE. It is recommended that different PCell priorities be
assigned to different cells within a CA group. The eNodeB selects a PCell for
a CA UE in descending order of PCell priority. If the cell that the UE initially
accesses has the highest PCell priority, the UE stays in the cell./u can make
it blind SCC
