Abstract

A communication terminal is described comprising a transceiver configured to communicate using carrier aggregation according to a first carrier aggregation setting, a detector configured to detect a need for the communication terminal to reduce its power consumption and a controller configured to initiate a switch from the first carrier aggregation setting to a second carrier aggregation setting with reduced power consumption compared to the first carrier aggregation setting if the detector has detected a need for the communication terminal to reduce its power consumption.
