ADAPTING CARRIER AGGREGATION CONFIGURATIONS FOR USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

Embodiments of a node that assists in adaptation of a carrier aggregation configuration of a wireless device in a cellular communications network and methods of operation thereof are disclosed. In some embodiments, the node determines an amount of required uplink resources (Pr) for the wireless device, decides whether adaptation of a carrier aggregation configuration of the wireless device should be performed based on a comparison of the amount of required uplink resources (Pr) for the wireless device and a maximum number of uplink resources (Pc) that can be allocated for the wireless device in a current carrier aggregation configuration of the wireless device, and takes an action to cause adaptation of the carrier aggregation configuration of the wireless device upon deciding that adaptation of the carrier aggregation configuration of the wireless device should be performed.
