Abstract
When a base station is serving a UE on a first RF carrier, the base station encounters a trigger to add to the UE's air interface connection a second RF carrier. The base station then decides based at least in part on a measure of RF performance of communication between the base station and the UE on the first RF carrier, whether the second RF carrier that the base station will add to the UE's air interface connection should be a TDD carrier or rather an FDD carrier. And the base station then reconfigures the UE's air interface connection to add a second RF carrier in accordance with the decision. The base station then serves the UE concurrently on the first RF carrier and the second RF carrier.
