Galaxy Techfluencer topic for the week: Carrier Aggregation

Carrier Aggregation (CA) is the ability to combine multiple carriers to expand the spectrum bandwidth. CA is a new feature of LTE Advanced which helps the users with increased data speeds (both in uplink and downlink).

Hi Samsung Team

I was very happy with the iPhones. My first iPhone was 3gs and I upgraded with new models it launched. My last iPhone was iPhone 7, as I was facing some issues which Apple company i feel they failed to hear their customers like call recoreder option, very low battery backup and dual sim option ( now they are providing).
After this I switched to Samsung and got Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. everything was fine, I loved the phone very much even I got the options which were missing in iPhone. there was a saying that if u use iphone for longer time then it will difficult to move to other brands, but I never felt like that. In fact I loved the new phone i didn't any lag compared iPhone.

It was almost 12 months I had used the phone and one sudden day my phone started to heat up and I was not able to charge my phone., so I took it service Centre and they said that there is a problem with charging port so wait for the part. I said ok to them and after some four days they said that charging port is fine but problem is with mother board. They checked the warranty of my phone it was 12 months and 15 days. After that they denied for the warranty and said me pay 28000 or 29000. Really it was a heart touching moment for me . I also called Samsung customer care toll free number but they also denied for any sort of help.

Was it my mistake for going to Samsung Family by paying 70,000.00 and using it for only 12 months. It was hard earned money and it was hardly 15 days after the end of warranty.

Through this platform I request Samsung team to help in any form and I hope they dont disappoint their customer.

Carrier Aggregation – one of most popular features of LTE-Advanced – is currently in the innovator and early-adopter stages of the technology lifecycle. As such it is still relatively immature and complex to implement with the risk of disappointing early consumers. By conducting comprehensive testing in the early R&D stages, manufacturers are able to ensure a key feature like Carrier Aggregation doesn’t result in carrier aggravation!

Carrier Aggregation (CA) is designed to increase user download or upload data speeds by adding spectrum blocks together. The spectrum blocks – more commonly known as component carriers – are allocated from different bands (inter-band) or within the same band (intra-band). By using two or more component carriers, with a typical bandwidth of either 10 MHz or 20 MHz, a wider aggregated data pipe is created. As a result, end-users benefit from much greater data rate speeds required for higher definition video streaming, device tethering and as an alternative to cable-based broadband.

We should expect to see many other features in LTE-Advanced – some will be used and others will perish in an unused ‘feature graveyard’. One feature that is currently receiving a lot of attention is higher order MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna configurations. MIMO effectively improves the spectral efficiency and data throughput by using multiple transmit and receive antennas. Whereas LTE release 8 launched MIMO configurations of 2×2 (two transmit and two receive antennas), LTE-Advanced supports up to 8×2 MIMO, depending on the size of the mobile device. Higher order MIMO combined with CA technology in trials are demonstrating peak data speeds of up to 450Mbps in many places around the globe, including Western Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific regions.

Another popular LTE-Advanced feature, is enhanced Inter-cell Interference Coordination (eICIC) that aims to improve network densification. This feature deals with interference issues in Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet) where LTE networks are formed from using a combination of wide-area macro cells and local area small cells. HetNets operate on the same frequency channel and eICIC uses various radio and channel techniques and a concept of Absolute Blank Sub-frames to mitigate interference on the user and control plane data. It is forecast that small cell equipment revenues will grow by over 30% in 2014, on the back of major mobile operators driving deployment.

Using LTE-Advanced features to improve capacity

There is a colossal need to increase capacity and speed to the end-user through the use of applications including video-on-demand, web browsing, audio streaming and machine-to-machine communications. LTE-Advanced and its key features like Carrier Aggregation, MIMO and eICIC support these requirements, which are expected to grow exponentially with the introduction of 5G. As this higher capacity channel matures, we will also see the growth of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) as well as the emergence of applications we haven’t yet even dreamt of.
LTE-Advanced features and how do we realise the potential in the standards produced by 3GPP? So far, LTE-Advanced is defined by 3GPP Releases 10 and 11, with Release 12 soon to be issued. Any 3GPP release typically includes many feature additions that constantly evolve mobile devices, radio and core infrastructure. These enhancements along with the conformance test specifications are used to validate the system operation and performance. By adopting an end-to-end validation process that encompasses all the individual pieces in the system – devices, radio and core infrastructure – some of the key challenges, outlined below, can be successfully addressed.

dear samsung, how can i participate in this contest?

[sagarmalhotra]

just see the topic every monday and comment on it with the #GalaxyTechfluencer thats it!

[sagarmalhotra]

samsung it would be good if you can bring snapdragon processor in you flagship phone because your exynos is **bleep** and the LTE in snapdragon is much good and it also dring 5g woth it, plzz switch to snapdragon im using S8+ and if you dont switch to snapdragon it would buy iphone instead of Samsung phone

Carrier Aggregation is a technology to combine two or more carriers into one data channel to enhance the data capacity. It is possible to combine carriers in the same or different frequency bands.
Using wireless communication to increase the data rate per user, whereby multiple frequency blocks (called component carriers) are assigned to the same user. The maximum possible data rate per user is increased the more frequency blocks are assigned to a user.

It combines multiple carriers to expand the spectrum bandwidth. CA is a new feature of LTE Advanced which helps the users with increased data speeds (both in uplink and downlink). CA technology is implemented in most modern mobile communication systems, like LTE and WiMax

carrier aggregation will not only allow us to have better signal but will also allow us to get constant speed as many carriers are using single tower each transmission tower can have a max limit of client at which quality is not compromised also if carrier aggregation happens it will make cheap costing of mobile plans. But a great thing will be that carrier companies can use frequency that dont harm environment like birds and humans will cause a better and environment friendly communications. cause due to increase in client companies increases its towers transmission frequency to have a larger bandwidth that can satisfy users internet requirements
