Optimization of 4G by Advanced Carrier Aggregation Strategies

Abstract

In long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) networks, the carrier aggregation technique is incorporated for user equipment’s to simultaneously aggregate multiple component carriers (CCs) for achieving higher transmission rate. By combining five component carriers, each of 20 MHz, we can extend the bandwidth to 100 MHz and hence also can achieve high data rates of the order of 1Gbps. Many research works for LTE-A systems with carrier aggregation configuration is carried out in this project we will study the performance of carrier aggregation for various optimization steps and further evolution seen in future.
