Abstract
Since ITU-R had officially completed the formal definition of Third Generation (3G) systems in 1997, focus has been shifted to the Fourth Generation (4G) wireless cellular systems. The paper provides an overview of the different aspects of the proposed carrier aggregation technique, which would enable LTE-A systems to fully utilize the wider bandwidths up to 100MHz and as well maintain the backward compatibility with LTE systems. The contiguous and non contiguous carrier aggregation techniques have been discussed and their deployment scenarios have been illustrated. The technique of carrier aggregation will not only provide a wide bandwidth of 100 MHz but shall also help in achieving higher peak data rates and better coverage for medium data rates.
