Method, system, access point and computer program product for enhancing the usable bandwidth between of a telecommunications network and a user equipment

A system for enhancing usable bandwidth between an access point of a radio access network of a telecommunications network and a User Equipment of a subscriber of the telecommunications network, comprising the access point and the user equipment, wherein:

• the User Equipment and the access point are configured to communicate based on a standardized mobile communication technology using carrier aggregation of at least a first communication carrier and a second communication carrier;
• the first communication carrier has a first carrier frequency;
• the second communication carrier has a second carrier frequency;
• the first carrier frequency is a standardized and licensed frequency and related to the mobile communication technology;
• and
• the second carrier frequency is an unlicensed frequency.

An access point of a radio access network of a telecommunications network for enhancing usable bandwidth between the access point and a User Equipment of a subscriber of the telecommunications network, comprising a processor and a non-transitory processor-readable medium, the access point being configured to:

• communicate with the User Equipment based on a standardized mobile communication technology using carrier aggregation of at least a first communication carrier and a second communication carrier;
• wherein the first communication carrier has a first carrier frequency;
• wherein the second communication carrier has a second carrier frequency;
• wherein the first carrier frequency is a standardized and licensed frequency and related to the mobile communication technology;
• and
• wherein the second carrier frequency is an unlicensed frequency.

A User Equipment of a subscriber of the telecommunications network for enhancing the usable bandwidth between an access point of a radio access network of the telecommunications network and the User Equipment, comprising a processor and a non-transitory processor-readable medium, the User Equipment being configured to:

• communicate with the access point based on a standardized mobile communication technology using carrier aggregation of at least a first communication carrier and a second communication carrier;
• wherein the first communication carrier has a first carrier frequency;
• wherein the second communication carrier has a second carrier frequency;
• wherein the first carrier frequency is a standardized and licensed frequency and related to the mobile communication technology;
• and
• wherein the second carrier frequency is an unlicensed frequency.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for enhancing usable bandwidth between an access point of a radio access network of a telecommunications network and a User Equipment of a subscriber of the telecommunications network, the processor-executable instructions comprising instructions for:

• facilitating communications between the User Equipment and the access point based on a standardized mobile communication technology using carrier aggregation of at least a first communication carrier and a second communication carrier;
• wherein the first communication carrier has a first carrier frequency and wherein the second communication carrier has a second carrier frequency;
• wherein the first carrier frequency is a standardized and licensed frequency and related to the mobile communication technology;
• and
• wherein the second carrier frequency is an unlicensed frequency.
