Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a computing device to perform acts comprising:
establishing a communication session within a cellular network that includes a user equipment (UE) that supports carrier aggregation (CA) in a fifth generation (5G) network;
identifying a cell, from a plurality of cells that includes a first cell associated with a first bandwidth and a second cell associated with a second bandwidth, to use as a primary cell (PCell) for the CA in the 5G network;
using the cell as the PCell for the UE;
generating predicted network conditions by predicting network conditions of the 5G network;
determining whether to switch the PCell to a different one of the plurality of cells based, at least in part, on the predicted network conditions; and
switching the PCell to the different one of the plurality of cells.
