Abstract:
When a base station encounters a trigger to reduce the number of carriers on which the base station serves a wireless commination device (WCD), the base station will responsively reduce the number of carriers but will also responsively increase the number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers on which the base station serves the WCD, to help offset for the reduction in number of serving carriers.
