Abstract

In Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A), Carrier Aggregation(CA) allows user to simultaneously transmit and receive data on multiple carriers resulting in increased throughput. Carriers need to be selected to maximize load balancing and the spectral efficiency. In this paper, a load balancing CC selection scheme which can be optimized for the Quality of Service (QoS) required by users is proposed. Feedback fluid queue model has been used to analyze and optimize the performance of the proposed scheme.
