Network nodes and methods for performing carrier aggregation in a wireless telecommunications network are disclosed. The method is for allocating resource blocks to support carrier aggregation communication between network nodes of a wireless telecommunications network and comprises: allocating first uplink resource blocks within at least one uplink band for use by an uplink primary component carrier; and allocating second uplink resource blocks within at least one uplink band for use by at least one uplink secondary component carrier, the first uplink resource blocks allocated for use by the uplink primary component carrier being allocated from resource blocks within the at least one uplink band which are closer to resource blocks within at least one downlink band than the second uplink resource blocks allocated for use by the at least one uplink secondary component carrier. |
