Hello 5G experts,

How many carriers can be aggregated in 5G NSA and 5G SA for non-contiguous bands?

2

In 5G NR Phase-1, upto 16 CCs (both contiguous and non-contiguous) can be aggregated.

Thank you!

However, in terms of UE capabilities, I believe most common 5G UEs support only 2 Component Carriers (CC) for aggregation.

Is that correct?
