Claim:
1. A method for component carrier allocation, comprising: when it is determined that a component carrier which has a frequency exceeding a preset frequency threshold exists in component carriers which are available to be allocated currently in a cell, updating a Frequency Domain Metric (FDM) of a User Equipment (UE) in the cell according to coverage of the component carrier which has a frequency exceeding the preset frequency threshold; and determining frequency domain priority according to the updated FDM, and allocating the component carrier which has a frequency exceeding the preset frequency threshold for the UE in the cell according to the determined frequency domain priority, wherein before it is determined that the component carrier which has a frequency exceeding the preset frequency threshold exists in the component carriers which are available to be allocated currently in the cell, the method further comprising: determining the FDM of the UE in the cell as  wherein C
