Abstract: When a first base station is serving a UE with carrier-aggregation on a combination of carriers including a first carrier as PCC of the carrier-aggregation service and a second carrier as an SCC of the carrier-aggregation service, the first base station could predict that the UE will hand over from being connected with the first base station to being connected with an adjacent second base station on the second carrier. In response to this prediction, the first base station could then reconfigure the UE's carrier aggregation service by swapping the UE's PCC and SCC so that the second carrier would become the PCC of the carrier-aggregation service and the first carrier would become an SCC of the carrier-aggregation service. This reconfiguration of the UE's carrier-aggregation service could thereby facilitate carrier continuity as the UE engages in the predicted handover.
