Abstract
A base station, user equipment, and channel selection method are provided. The base station can configure a Primary Component Carrier (PCC) and a plurality of Secondary Component Carriers (SCCs). The PCC is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) band, while at least one of the SCCs is not an LTE band. The base station receives a plurality of channel status parameters, wherein each of the channel status parameters corresponds to one of the SCCs. The base station sorts the SCCs according to the channel status parameters, determines a subset of the SCCs as at least one candidate SCC according to the channel status parameters, and determines a subset of the at least one candidate SCC as at least one available SCC by performing clear channel assessment for each of the at least one candidate SCC.
