Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, in some implementations, a UE 300 operates in a carrier aggregation-mode where multiple component carriers (CCs) 220 available to the UE 300 are aggregated and jointly used for communicating within a carrier aggregation capable network 100 (e.g., LTE-Advanced network). In the example shown, the UE 300 includes a transceiver 302, data processing hardware 320 (e.g., circuitry, silicon chip, etc.) in communication with the transceiver 302, memory hardware 322 in communication with the data processing hardware 320, and a GPS/GNSS module 330 in communication with the data processing hardware 320 and configured to obtain a current location 430 (FIG. 4) of the UE 300. The transceiver 310 includes transceiver resources 310, such as baseband resources 310Ba-n (FIG. 3) and RF chains 310Ra-n (FIG. 3), that may be used to support a MIMO antenna configuration. The memory hardware 322 may store instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware 320 cause the data processing hardware 320 to perform operations for connecting with at least one eNB 102, allocating transceiver resources 312 across available CCs 220 based on the current location 430, and operating in the carrier aggregation-mode by aggregating the available CCs 220 for simultaneous communication with the network 100.
