Abstract:
A system and methods that are performed by a macro cell and a user equipment (UE) to implement a carrier aggregation mode in a network. The system includes a macrocell including a first coverage area and a plurality of small cells, each of the small cells including a second coverage area wherein the plurality of second coverage areas substantially cover the first coverage area. The macro cell operates a first component carrier as a primary component carrier in a carrier aggregation enabled network and one of the small cells operates a second component carrier as a secondary component carrier in the carrier aggregation enabled network.

Claim (Index 34):
An integrated circuit, comprising:\n circuitry for receiving a first assignment, from a macrocell, of a first frequency of the macrocell as a primary component carrier, wherein the macrocell has a first coverage area; circuitry for receiving a second assignment, from the macrocell, of a second frequency of one of a plurality of secondary cells as a second component carrier, wherein each of the secondary cells has a respective second coverage area, the first coverage area comprises the plurality of second coverage areas, and wherein the primary component carrier and the secondary component carrier are assigned by the macrocell based on signal quality measurements of the macrocell and the plurality of secondary cells; and circuitry for operating in carrier aggregation mode based on the assignments.
