Claim 0:
1. A carrier aggregation controller, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more modules that are executable by the one or more processors to:
receive, via a base station node, a resource allocation request associated with an uplink transmission of user plane data from a client device;
detect an available carrier with a Time-Division-Duplexing (TDD) ratio of available bandwidth for downlink transmissions relative to uplink transmissions;
determine an uplink bandwidth of the available carrier, based at least in part on the TDD ratio;
based at least in part on the uplink bandwidth, determine, for the uplink transmission, a carrier aggregation that includes the available carrier; and
generate scheduling information for delivery to the base station node, based at least in part on the carrier aggregation.
