Load balancing performance of dynamic SCell measurement period relaxing in LTE-A

To meet the requirement of very-high-rate-data transmission over wide bandwidths, carrier aggregation (CA) has been regarded as an important technology for Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A). It considers both primary component carrier (PCell) and secondary component carrier (SCell) and many operations are based on the PCell. In this paper, the load balancing performance of dynamic SCell measurement period relaxing in the LTE-A system with CA has been discussed. Furthermore, it gives the result of SCell measurement period relaxing window under different user equipment speed which is both energy-saving and harmless to the system performance.
