1. Carrier Aggregation
Carrier aggregation (CA) is used in LTE-
Advanced in order to increase the
bandwidth, and thereby increasing the
bitrate. Hence it will support higher data
rate compared to non-CA device. It is
applied for both TDD and FDD (DL
Speeds up to 1 Gbps and UL Speeds up
to 500Mbps).
1.1 Types of CA
1. Intra-band contiguous - The
component carriers belong to the
same operating frequency band.
This might not always be possible,
due to operator frequency allocation
scenarios. E.g. 3C, 7C, 38C
2. Intra-band non-contiguous - The
component carriers belong to the
same operating frequency band, but
have gaps, in between so that they
don’t overlap. E.g. 3A-3A, 7A-7A.
3. Inter-band non-contiguous – The
component carriers belong to
different operating frequency bands
so they have gaps in between. E.g.
3A-7A, 7A-20A, 3A-38A.
