METHOD AND SYSTEM OF AGGREGATING COMPONENT CARRIERS ACROSS FREQUENCY BANDS

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for aggregating component carriers across frequency bands. The present invention provides a method to aggregate downlink (DL) carrier across frequency bands in a standalone and cross-linked manner. In one embodiment, the method includes aggregating a downlink carrier of a first frequency band with an uplink (UL) carrier of a second frequency band. The method also includes communicating cross-linking information associated with the DL carrier of the first frequency band aggregated with the UL carrier of the second frequency band to user equipments through a dedicate message or a broadcast message. The cross-linking information may include frequency band indicator, frequency band information, EARFCN, and barred cell information. Moreover, the method includes performing data transfer with each of the user equipments using the aggregated DL carrier of the first frequency band and the UL carrier of the second frequency band.
