Abstract
According to aspects herein, methods and systems for prioritizing paired versus un-paired spectrum selection in carrier aggregation scenarios are provided. More particularly, after determining a node comprises at least one time division duplex (TDD) layer and a frequency division duplex (FDD) layer, a FDD bandwidth is compared to a TDD effective bandwidth. The TDD effective bandwidth considers the slot pattern on the TDD layer. Based on the comparison and capabilities of user equipment (UE), a TDD layer or the FDD layer is selected for carrier aggregation. In this way, priority can be given to the TDD layer or the FDD layer to provide the highest effective bandwidth or to accommodate various load balancing scenarios.
