Optimization of carrier aggregation (CA) for user equipment (UE) experience

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operative upon execution by the processor to:
• receive a plurality of data records from differing ones of a plurality of wireless network nodes of a wireless network, the plurality of data records including a first data record and a second data record different than the first data record, the plurality of data records together identifying:
• a set of layers available at a first radio site, a downlink buffer size of a first base station at the first radio site for data to transmit to a first user equipment (UE), a carrier aggregation (CA) capability of the first UE, radio signal quality experienced by the first UE, and a set of layers used by the first UE;
• determine a target CA configuration for the first UE using at least the set of layers available at the first radio site, the downlink buffer size for data to transmit to the first UE, the CA capability of the first UE, and the radio signal quality experienced by the first UE;
• and
• determine an occurrence of a first CA anomaly for the first UE using at least the target CA configuration for the first UE and the set of layers used by the first UE.

One or more computer storage devices having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which, upon execution by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a plurality of data records from differing ones of a plurality of wireless network nodes of a wireless network, the plurality of data records including a first data record and a second data record different than the first data record, the plurality of data records together identifying:
• a set of layers available at a first radio site, a downlink buffer size of a first base station at the first radio site for data to transmit to a first user equipment (UE), a carrier aggregation (CA) capability of the first UE, radio signal quality experienced by the first UE, and a set of layers used by the first UE;
• determining a target CA configuration for the first UE using at least the set of layers available at the first radio site, the downlink buffer size for data to transmit to the first UE, the CA capability of the first UE, and the radio signal quality experienced by the first UE;
• and
• determining an occurrence of a first CA anomaly for the first UE using at least the target CA configuration for the first UE and the set of layers used by the first UE.
