Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices that relate to flexible thresholds for activating and deactivating carrier aggregation are disclosed. In one example aspect, a method for wireless communication includes determining, by the base station, a set of carrier aggregation candidates. Each carrier aggregation candidate in the set of carrier aggregation candidates corresponds to a secondary component carrier and is associated with an activation threshold value and a deactivation threshold value that are determined based on a characteristic of the secondary component carrier. The method also includes determining, by the base station, a traffic load of the communication and transmitting, by the base station, a command to the user equipment to activate or deactivate a first carrier aggregation candidate in the set of carrier aggregation candidates based on the traffic load and the activation threshold value or the deactivation threshold value associated with the first carrier aggregation candidate.
