Optimizing uplink band scheduling of contiguous and non-contiguous frequency range 1 (fr1) and frequency range 2 (fr2) spectrum

A carrier aggregation controller, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more modules that are executable by the one or more processors to perform the acts comprising:
• retrieving historical instances of network usage and historical instances of carrier resource utilization at the base station node;
• based on the historical instances of network usage and the historical instances of carrier resource utilization at the base station node, generating a data model;
• receiving a resource allocation request for an uplink transmission of user plane data to a telecommunications network;
• determining to implement a carrier aggregation for the uplink transmission using the data model;
• and
• generating scheduling information that identifies non-contiguous frequency ranges for the carrier aggregation for the uplink transmission.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, by a base station and from a client device, a resource allocation request for an uplink transmission of user plane data;
• generating, by the base station, carrier metadata that indicates available carriers and whether the available carriers are downlink resources, uplink resources, or both downlink and uplink resources;
• receiving, by the base station, scheduling information that indicates carrier aggregation of two or more of the available carriers;
• based on the scheduling information, generating, by the base station, control information that instructs the client device how to use the carrier aggregation of the two or more available carriers;
• and
• providing, for output by the base station and to the client device, the control information.
