Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If carrier aggregation zones are configured manually or through traditional methods, then network control and configuration capability are maintained, but the complexity of identifying and managing carrier signal overlap zones increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing the network to automatically identify carrier signal overlap zones and configure carrier aggregation parameters without manual intervention. The base station autonomously performs measurements, determines overlap zones, and configures carrier aggregation based on detected conditions, eliminating the need for manual zone identification and configuration management.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting carrier aggregation configuration parameters based on detected signal conditions. The system measures reference signals, determines overlap zone characteristics, and modifies aggregation parameters accordingly, enabling adaptive configuration that responds to changing network conditions rather than relying on static manual settings.
2Reliability
If traditional resource allocation methods are used, then network stability is maintained, but resource allocation efficiency and network robustness are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously measuring reference signals from multiple carriers and using this information to dynamically adjust carrier aggregation configuration. The base station receives measurement results, determines overlap zone status, and adjusts aggregation parameters based on this feedback loop, enabling both efficient resource allocation and robust network operation through adaptive response to changing conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies dynamics by transitioning from static resource allocation to dynamic carrier aggregation configuration. The system continuously monitors signal conditions, identifies overlap zones in real-time, and adjusts aggregation parameters dynamically based on current network state, improving both resource allocation efficiency and network robustness through adaptive behavior rather than fixed configurations.
3Quantity of substance
If carrier aggregation is enabled without automated identification, then configuration control is maintained, but overhead for managing carrier signal overlap zones increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary action by performing automated measurements and identification of carrier signal overlap zones before configuring carrier aggregation. The base station proactively measures reference signals, determines overlap zone characteristics, and prepares configuration parameters in advance, reducing the overhead required for ongoing management by establishing the configuration foundation beforehand through automated processes.

AI summary
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.
