Claim 15:
16. A non-transitory computer-readable media, storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
receiving, via a base station node, a resource allocation request for an uplink transmission of user plane data associated with a client device;
determining uplink resource utilization associated with available carriers at the base station node;
detecting at least one available carrier with a (Time-Division-Duplexing) TDD ratio of available bandwidth for downlink transmissions relative to uplink transmissions;
determining an available uplink bandwidth, based at least in part on the TDD ratio;
analyzing the resource allocation request relative to the uplink resource utilization to determine, based at least in part on the uplink bandwidth, a carrier aggregation of two or more of the available carriers that includes the at least one available carrier; and
generating scheduling information associated with the carrier aggregation for delivery to the base station node.
