Abstract
A base station provides service on a host carrier, the host carrier having a host-carrier frequency range that defines a host-carrier bandwidth. Further, the base station provides service on a guest carrier concurrently with the base station providing service on the host carrier, the guest carrier having a guest-carrier frequency range that is defined fully within and as a portion of the host-carrier frequency range and that defines a guest-carrier bandwidth narrower than the host-carrier bandwidth. And the base station dynamically varies the guest-carrier bandwidth based at least on variation in quantity of client devices connected with the base station on the host carrier.
