Abstract

Various embodiments comprise a wireless access node to group component carriers for carrier aggregation. In some examples, the wireless access node comprises node circuitry and radio circuitry. The node circuitry selects primary and secondary cell candidates based on carrier aggregation capability, transmit power, and radio frequency measurements for a wireless user device. The node circuitry filters the cell candidates based on the bandwidth, loading, and data buffer status for the cell candidates. The node circuitry selects a primary cell and at least one secondary cell from the filtered cell candidates based on an operator defined rule, interference, and cell Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the selected primary cell and the at least one selected secondary cell. The radio circuitry wirelessly indicates the selected primary cell and the selected secondary cell(s) to the wireless user device to use for carrier aggregation.
