Abstract
Various embodiments of a cell switching strategy for an LTE-Advanced system based on the carrier aggregation technology are provided. Compared with the conventional cell switching strategy, the proposed strategy monitors the channel conditions of all the component carriers that are utilized for the communication of a user. The proposed strategy switches cell for one or more of the component carriers with relatively weaker signal strength while maintaining the cell for the other component carriers with better channel quality.
