Abstract
An apparatus and method for optimizing an uplink carrier aggregation in a radio access network (RAN) are provided. The apparatus includes a memory storing instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to determine whether uplink data to be sent by a user equipment exceeds a first threshold; determine whether an available power at the user equipment exceeds a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is determined based on a variable offset value; and activate uplink carrier aggregation for the user equipment based on the uplink data to be sent being determined to exceed the first threshold and the power available at the user equipment being determined to exceed the second threshold.
