Abstract [en]

As wireless communications is becoming an increasingly important part of ourevery day lives, the amount of transmitted data is constantly growing, creating ademand for ever-increasing data rates. One of the technologies used for boostingdata rates is carrier aggregation, which allows for wireless units to combine multipleconnections to the cellular network. However, there is a limited number ofpossible combinations defined, meaning that there is a need to search for the bestcombination in any given setup. This thesis introduces software capable of organizingthe defined combinations into tree structures, simplifying the search foroptimal combinations as well as allowing for visualizations of the connectionspossible. In the thesis, a proposed method of creating these trees is presented,together with suggestions on how to visualize important combination characteristics.Studies has also been made on different tree traversal algorithms, showingthat there is little need for searching through all possible combinations, but thata greedy approach has a high performance while substantially limiting the searchcomplexity.

Abstract [sv]

I samband med att trådlösa kommunikationssystem blir en allt större del av våraliv och mängden data som skickas fortsätter att stiga, skapas en efterfrågan förökade datatakter. En av teknologierna som används för att skapa högre datatakterär bäraraggregering (carrier aggregation), som möjliggör för trådlösa enheteratt kombinera flertalet uppkopplingar mot det mobila nätverket. Det finns dockbara ett begränsat antal kombinationer definierade, vilket skapar ett behov av attsöka upp den bästa kombinationen i varje givet tillfälle. Detta arbete introducerarmjukvara som organiserar dessa kombinationer i trädstrukturer, vilket förenklarsökning efter optimala kombinationer tillsammans med möjligheten att visualiserade potentiella uppkopplingarna. I arbetet presenteras en föreslagen metodför att skapa dessa träd, tillsammans med uppslag på hur viktiga egenskaperhos kombinationerna kan visualiseras. Olika trädsökningsalgoritmer har ocksåundersökts, och det visas att det inte är nödvändigt att söka igenom hela träd.Istället visar sig giriga algoritmer ha hög prestanda, samtidigt som sökstorlekenkan hållas kraftigt begränsad.
