11. GLOSSARYThe following acronyms and technical terms are used in this paper.Carrier Aggregation (CA): Technology to enable spectrum expansion by aggregation of spectrumacross multiple bands.ATBC (Aggregated Transmission Bandwidth Configuration): is the total number of aggregatedPhysical Resource Blocks.LAA (Licensed-Assisted Access): Technology for expanding spectrum by use of LTE in unlicensedspectrum either by Supplemental Downlink (SDL) or for Downlink (DL) and Uplink (UL) transmissionsSupplemental Downlink (SDL): Technology to enhance downlink capability of mobile broadbandnetworks by use of unpaired downlink spectrum.P-Cell: Primary Cell, refers to the serving cell in a carrier aggregation scenarioSCell: Secondary Cell refers to the cell adding additional spectrum in a carrier aggregation scenarioCC (Component Carrier): Each aggregated carrier is also referred to as a component carrierPCC: Primary Component CarrierDL-PCC (Downlink Primary Component Carrier): Downlink Carrier corresponding to PCellUL-PCC (Uplink Primary Component Carrier): Uplink Carrier corresponding to PCellHeterogeneous Networks (HetNet): A radio access network that consists of layers of different-sizedcells ranging from macrocells to picocells and femtocells.ICIC (Inter-cell interference coordination): 3GPP feature to improve cell edge performance andmitigate interference between macro and small cells in a HetNet scenario.MOCN (Multi-Operator Core Network): 3GPP Feature that allows multiple operators to share thesame spectrum resources while maintaining separate core networks.MFBI (Multi-Frequency Band Indicator): 3GPP feature to allow operation of LTE networks anddevices in a multi-band environmentMIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output): Radio technology that involves use of multiple antennas atboth the network and device to improve communication performance and achieve higher speeds.AGC (Automatic Gain Control): Component close to antenna in the receive path which controls andadjusts the signal strength of the received signal before input to the next stage.ADC (Analog to Digital Convertor): Performs analog to digital conversion of signal between RF andbaseband in the downlink.PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel): Control Channel carries the downlink and uplinkallocation information for the terminal.4G Americas LTE Carrier Aggregation October 2014 51
