Key Technology of CA Multi-Carrier Joint Scheduling

In CA mode, multi-carrier scheduling is supported, which can satisfy the requirement from UEs high
speed data service, besides, resource can be allocated according to the bandwidth of CA cells and
channel condition. As a result, the scheduling efficiency and resource utilization can be improved

Based on CA scenario:
Load balance in CA mode supports two flexible options:
Handover for inter-carrier load balance
Joint multi-carrier scheduling between main & sub-carrier based on CA mode
It is more flexible for the load adjustment in CA mode to reduce handover frequency and improve the resources
utilization and system capacity.

SvLTE(Simultaneous voice and LTE): The SvLTE terminal resides in both 2G/3G and LTE network. The legacy CS domain provides voice service
while the LTE network provides data service. Voice and data can occur simultaneously.

CSFB(circuit switch fallback): As defined in 3GPP R8, the terminal chooses the LTE network to reside by preference and the LTE network
provides data service only. When the terminal originates or receives a voice service, it shall fall back to the CS network.

SRVCC(Single Radio Voice Call Continuity): As defined in 3GPP R8, the IMS-based LTE voice service is provided. When the terminal leaves the
LTE coverage, the voice service is switched to the CS domain to ensure service continuity.
