Abstract
A method is provided to associate at least one user equipment to a plurality of component carriers. A carrier-to-interference ratio is calculated for each of component carriers available for the user equipment. Differences between the calculated carrier-to-interference ratios are calculated, with each difference being associated to a different one of the component carriers intervening in the difference, the component carriers being ordered in the decreasing order of their carrier frequency. The user equipment is associated with the component carrier having the lowest difference.
