Carrier aggregation (CA) for user equipment (UE) and wireless relays

A wireless relay to control carrier aggregation comprising:

• data communication transceivers in the wireless relay configured to wirelessly receive a user network Identifier (ID) for a user network, wirelessly receive a relay network ID for a relay network, wirelessly attach to the relay network responsive to the relay network ID, and wirelessly broadcast the user network ID to User Equipment (UEs), wherein the UEs are configured to wirelessly attach to the wireless relay to access the user network responsive to the user network ID;
• the data communication transceivers in the wireless relay configured to wirelessly exchange user data with the UEs over user network carrier aggregation links and wirelessly exchange the user data with the relay network over relay network carrier aggregation links wherein the relay network is configured to exchange the user data with the user network;
• the data communication transceivers in the wireless relay further configured to wirelessly receive an instruction to terminate the user network carrier aggregation links responsive to carrier aggregation loading;
• data processing circuitry in the wireless relay configured to terminate the user network carrier aggregation links responsive to the instruction;
• and
• the data communication transceivers in the wireless relay further configured to wirelessly exchange the user data with the UEs over user network non-carrier aggregation links and configured to continue exchanging the user data with the relay network over the relay network carrier aggregation links.
