Carrier Aggregation Configuration and Performance

This dataset provides detailed records of LTE-Advanced and 5G carrier aggregation configurations, including primary and secondary cell parameters, component carrier combinations, aggregated bandwidth, configuration changes, throughput improvements, and user equipment capability matching. It enables comprehensive analysis of CA deployments, performance gains, and device compatibility, supporting network optimization and technology benchmarking.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 250 rows came out of a blueprint — 26 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Cell ID and carrier aggregation configuration ID
  • PCell (Primary Cell) frequency band and bandwidth
  • SCell (Secondary Cell) bands and bandwidths for aggregation
  • CA combination: intra-band contiguous, intra-band non-contiguous, inter-band
  • Total aggregated bandwidth (MHz) across all component carriers
  • UE category support: Cat 6 (2CA), Cat 12 (3CA), Cat 16 (4CA), Cat 18/20 (5CA)
  • Throughput improvement: baseline vs. CA-enabled (Mbps gain)
  • CA activation rate: percentage of capable UEs using CA
