Abstract
In this paper, we consider joint optimization of Component Carrier (CC) selection and resource allocation in 5G Carrier Aggregation (CA) system. Firstly, the upper-bound system throughput with determined number of CCs is derived and it is proved by using graph theory that the throughput optimization problem is NP hard. Then we propose a greedy based algorithm to solve this problem and prove that the proposed algorithm can achieve at least 1/2 of the optimal performance in the worst case. At last, we evaluate the throughput and computational complexity performance through a variety of simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain better performance comparing with existing schemes while keeping the computation complexity at an acceptable level.
