DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF CARRIER AGGREGATION RESOURCES BASED ON DEVICE REQUESTS
First Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless base station to use Long Term Evolution (LTE) Carrier Aggregation (CA) to support a video application, the method comprising:
- exchanging wireless communication signals with a wireless communication device using the LTE CA over a frequency band to deliver a Quality-of-Service (QoS);
receiving a request from the wireless communication device identifying the video application, and in response, identifying a larger frequency band to deliver an increased QoS to the video application; and
exchanging additional wireless communication signals with the wireless communication device using the LTE CA over the larger frequency band to deliver the increased QoS to the video application.

Abstract
Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software to dynamically provide carrier aggregation to wireless communication devices. In one example, a method of operating an eNodeB includes exchanging first wireless communication signals with a wireless communication device using a first carrier aggregation configuration. The method further provides identifying a request from the wireless communication device for a modified quality of service, and determining a second carrier aggregation configuration based on the request. The method also includes exchanging second wireless communication signals with the wireless communication device using the second carrier aggregation configuration.
