Patent number: 11917421Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to configuring carrier aggregation zones based on transmission information in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include identifying, by carrier aggregation equipment including a processor, carrier transmission information corresponding to a first carrier signal and a second carrier signal. The method can further include analyzing, by the carrier aggregation equipment, the carrier transmission information to determine first overlap zone information representative of a first carrier overlap zone for the first carrier signal and the second carrier signal. Further, based on the first overlap zone information, the method includes facilitating configuring transmission parameter information representative of a transmission parameter applicable to transmission of the first carrier signal, to enable carrier aggregation by network equipment within the first carrier overlap zone.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Shomik Pathak, Cecilia N. Nguyen, Harry Liu, James P. Daves, William D. Turczyn, Yang Wang, Mark Butler, Murari Lamsal, Jason E. Carter, Iftekhar Alam
