MULTI-CARRIER CONNECTION MANAGEMENT FOR BANDWIDTH AGGREGATION
First Claim
1. A method of a connection management entity, comprising:
- determining a set of modems within coverage of a particular area, each modem in the set of modems being associated with a particular aircraft and one carrier of a plurality of carriers; and
allocating subsets of the set of modems to each cell of a set of cells, the allocation allowing each cell to communicate with the allocated subset of modems, each cell operating on a different carrier of the plurality of carriers.

Abstract
The connection management entity apparatus determines a set of modems within coverage of a particular area. Each modem of the set of modems is associated with a particular aircraft and one carrier of a plurality of carriers. The apparatus allocates subsets of modems to each eNB of a set of eNBs. The allocation allows each eNB to communicate with the allocated subset of modems. Each eNB operates on a different carrier. The apparatus may be a eNB. The eNB determines a set of modems within coverage of the eNB. The set of modems is associated with one carrier of a plurality of carriers. The eNB operates on the one carrier. Each modem in the set of modems is associated with a different aircraft. The eNB sends information indicating the set of modems and receives an allocation of a second set of modems in response to the sent information.
