Abstract
Selecting a donor access node for a relay node based on a number of component carriers includes identifying one or more potential donor access nodes deploying one or more carriers, measuring a reference signal strength for each of the one or more potential donor access nodes, determining which of the one or more potential donor access nodes deploys a highest number of component carriers, and sending a request to attach to the potential donor access node deploying the highest number of component carriers and having a reference signal strength that meets a reference signal criteria.
