What is Carrier Aggregation?

Carrier Aggregation is a technology to combine two or more carriers into one data channel to enhance the data capacity.

Carrier Aggregation

It is possible to combine carriers in the same or different frequency bands.

How Carriers Aggregate?

The easiest way to aggregate carriers is to take two or more contiguous channels within the same frequency band (intra-band, contiguous). It is also possible to combine two or more non-contiguous channels within the same band (intra-band, non-contiguous).

The most challenging form is to aggregate two or more carriers from different frequency bands (intra-band; non contiguous).

Multiple carriers aggregated

Real World Use

-Increases the data speed in congested areas.

-If users are connected to a single wavelength, the chances of that are high for getting that wavelength clogged, You must have experienced or heard sometimes a message on your mobile saying,

"All lines on this route are busy, please dial after sometime".

-Bandwidth getting clogged are reduced. Hence the user gets more data.

How will it effect us?

Faster speeds achieved through carrier aggregation will transform 4G into a better product for consumers and will give carriers an additional marketing handle.

Airtel and Jio support LTE-A and LTE-U Carrier Aggregation.

Vodaphone and idea are currently testing the CA.

Article about it in economics times of India

Supported Samsung devices:

-A9 Pro

-C9 Pro

-S7

-S7 Edge

-S8

-S9

-S9 Plus

-Note 8

-Note 9

And Higer Versions of Above Devices

Supported is not limited to these.

Also next version of phones from same series (not mandatory) would also support the carrier aggregation.

Supported locations are growing.

currently available in

Delhi, Mumbai and parts of Kerala

Recently:

-Samsung said that its lightning-fast 5G technology lab demonstration was made possible by combining two technologies:

Carrier Aggregation and

multi-user, multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO)

[Previous Techfluencer Topic],

to achieve 4.3Gbps speeds on each of two test mobile devices, reaching an industry peak speed of 8.5 Gbps
