FIELD: radio engineering, communication.SUBSTANCE: described are methods and a device for providing efficient spectrum usage in extensible carrier deployments. In one embodiment, the deployment comprises a long-term evolution (LTE) or LTE-advanced (LTE-A) network, and a reference carrier resource and one or more extensible carrier resources are configured based at least in part on a time and/or frequency separation. In one exemplary implementation, one or more reference carriers are aggregated with one or more carrier extensions/segments. The resulting aggregated bandwidth can be used to, among other things, optimise overall network operation.EFFECT: providing efficient spectrum usage in extensible carrier deployments.20 cl, 6 dwg |
