Abstract

A method and system for controlling wireless transmission to a user equipment device (UE) while the UE is served on a plurality of carriers each having a respective downlink bandwidth. An example method includes determining that a first carrier of the plurality of carriers has a wider downlink bandwidth than a second carrier of the plurality of carriers. And the method then includes, based at least on the determining, causing transmission to the UE on the first carrier to use a greater quantity of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) layers than transmission to the UE on the second carrier.
