Carrier Aggregation Solutions Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growth in 5G Networks to Favor the Market

• Smartphones and their ever-increasing data demand are driving growth in 5G networks, which use carrier aggregation to increase data capacity and spectrum efficiency to meet the high throughput demands of users.
• Carrier aggregation combines multiple frequency bands, increasing bandwidth and using them in synergy for more efficient diverse spectrum use. It boosts network densification and supports operators’ evolution and upgrades, as well as providing a smoother roadmap for the 4G to 5G transition, leveraging existing spectrum along with adding new bands as required.
• Carrier aggregation is essential for improved user experience and plays a key role in advanced 5G feature implementations (such as ultra-reliable low latency and network slicing) due to the demands in bandwidth and reduced latency in these applications. The key role carrier aggregation will play during the deployment of 5G will drive the development of new and more advanced solutions that meet the complex demands of next-generation networks.

Integration with Advanced Technologies like MIMO and Beamforming

• Integration with technologies like MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) and beamforming act as opportunities for expanding carrier aggregation solutions market because of synergistic offerings that add value to end users and network performance. MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) and beamforming are wireless technologies that enhance data throughput and spectral efficiency, respectively.
• Synergistic approaches, when implemented with carrier aggregation, create powerful combinations that help maximize the network capacity, coverage and end users’ experience. MIMO systems use multiple antennas at both a receiver and a transmitter. By sending multiple signals at the same time, MIMO technology can boost wireless download and upload speeds. In 2013, 4G modems started implementing MIMO as well. Recent years have seen the first practical demonstrations of truly massive MIMO systems, with arrays of 64 to 128 antennas. As a result, MIMO offers the potential to significantly increase data capacity in wireless networks.

Carrier Aggregation Solutions Market News and Recent Developments

The carrier aggregation solutions market is evaluated by gathering qualitative and quantitative data post primary and secondary research, which includes important corporate publications, association data, and databases. A few of the developments in the carrier aggregation solutions market are listed below:

• Anritsu Corporation introduces its newly developed Butler Matrix 8x8 (0.6 GHz to 7.125 GHz) MA8118A module that simulates 8x8 MIMO connections. The MA8118A is a Butler Matrix*1 transmission path with 8 input and 8 output ports and supports all 5G FR1*2 bands (in 3GPP September 2023 version) that are not supported by the previous module, Azimuth STACSIM-8x8 (Static Channel Simulator) (ACC-380).  (Source: Anritsu, Press Release, November 2023)
• China Mobile Sichuan and Huawei verified the TDD+FDD and TDD+TDD 5G SA 3CC CA solutions on live networks in Chengdu. The test results show that Huawei's 5G 3CC CA solution increases the physical-layer single-user peak rate to 4.52 Gbps, the highest of its kind on the sub-6 GHz band, even under complex air interface conditions. With the scaled deployment of 5G networks, HD video has become a mainstream network application. The fast rise of AR services also poses higher requirements for user experience. The carrier aggregation (CA) technology offers a way to increase bandwidth by piecing together several small carriers, which in turn maximizes the 5G user-perceived rate.  (Source: Huawei, Press Release, April 2022)
