Development of a novel component carrier selection algorithm in long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) with carrier aggregation

Carrier Aggregation (CA), which is a method that aggregates multiple Component Carriers (CCs) of the same or different frequency bands, is one of the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-Advanced) key features. It allows the LTE-Advanced to support wider transmission bandwidth. Another important requir...
