    Hello zcr 

     

    Carrier aggregation is used in LTE-Advanced in order to increase the bandwidth, and thereby increase the bitrate. ... The component carrier can have a bandwidth of 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20 MHz and a maximum of five component carriers can beaggregated, hence the maximum aggregated bandwidth is 100 MHz.

     

    So its using more wireless bands on the network to get a faster connection.
