carrier aggregation technology is introduced by the 3GPP to support very-high-data-rate transmissions over wide frequency bandwidths (e.g., up to 100 MHz) in its new LTE-Advanced standards. This article first gives a brief review of continuous and non-continuous CA techniques, followed by LTE-Advanced systems, with the requirements of backward compatibility to LTE systems, are highlighted and discussed. Possible technical solutions for the asymmetric CA problem, control signaling design, handover control, and guard band setting are reviewed. Simulation results show Doppler frequency shift has only limited impact on data transmission performance over wide frequency bands in a high-speed mobile environment when the component carriers are time synchronized. The frequency aliasing will generate much more interference between adjacent component carriers and therefore greatly degrades the bit error rate performance of downlink data transmissions In order to meet the strong demand for wireless broadband users, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has initiated the standardization process of the next-generation mobile communication systems, entitled IMT-Advanced or fourth-generation (4G) mobile systems . According to the performance and technical requirements defined in , future IMT-Advanced systems can support very high peak data rates for mobile users, up to 1 Gb/s in static and pedestrian environments, and up to 100 Mb/s in high-speed mobile environment. Two international standardization organizations, the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and research 802.16 Working Group (WG), are actively developing new mobile communication standards for achieving the ambitious performance goals of IMT-Advanced mobile systems . In particular, 3GPP has completed its Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards family Release 8 (R8), which defines and specifies new functions, 3G (B3G) mobile systems. The LTE standards will be further improved to become the LTE-Advanced standards, which will be submitted to the ITU as candidate technical standards for IMT-Advanced systems. The research 802.16 WG is developing an extension of its fixed broadband wireless access standard, called 802.16m, to meet the technical and performance requirements of IMT-Advanced. 3GPP backward compatible with the corresponding LTE systems, but more important, they should fully meet, even exceed, the comprehensive requirements of the ITU’s IMT-Advanced systems on peak data rates, transmission bandwidth, peak/average spectrum efficiency, delay performance in control and user planes, and mobility. Specifically, Table 1 compares the peak, average, and cell-edge spe c t rum e f f i c i enc yr equi r ement s ofthe LTE, LTE-Advanced, and IMT-Advanced systems. Multi-antenna transmission techniques
