Patent ID: 10271333

Abstract:
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to service aware carrier aggregation. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an eNodeB (“eNB”) can learn, via a primary serving cell (“PSC”), that a user equipment (“UE”) has a capability to utilize a carrier aggregation feature. The eNB can receive policy information and service information, and can learn, via the PSC, a service requested by the UE. The eNB can determine, based at least in part upon the policy information, the service information, and the service, whether to implement the carrier aggregation feature to provide the service to the UE. When the eNB determines that the carrier aggregation feature is to be implemented, the eNB can inform the UE to reconfigure a radio resource control (“RRC”) configuration to include the PSC and a secondary serving cell (“SSC”). The eNB can allocate physical media resources for the service from the PSC and the SSC.
