Supposing we have all the resources to implement Carrier Aggregation and MIMO, but have to implement only one of the two options for throughput improvement, which one is the best with respect to throughput/data rate only? Carrier aggregation or MIMO?
Can you please explain pros and cons of each option, which one is preferable, and why?
My opinoin is mimo 2*2 on 10 MHZ achive near thoughpt like if we aggregate 2 carriers each one with 10MHZ Bandwidht so mimo use less BW and than MIMO is best in this case.
The chances of getting rank3 and rank4 are much less than CA.Rank 3 or 4, CQI requirements are too high. MIMO 2x2 with CA can be a good achivement for Tput.
I had not a chance of testing 8x8 Mimo. What about phone battery life impact?
In the Carrier Aggregation mode, due to the band guard, part of the frequency is wasted.
In Carrier aggregation mode, signaling information is sent separately in each carrier, which causes a waste of resources.
In the Carrier aggregation mode, there is a need for a load balancing to balance the information of the carriers.
20 MHz bandwidth is used in frequencies below 3 gigabytes, especially in FDD mode.
100 MHz bandwidth is mostly used in millimeter wave frequencies (24-39 and above 60 GHz)
That’s one reason why 100 MHz bandwidth is more efficient in 5G NR compared to 4G LTE.
