Abstract

This paper proposes a demand-aware component carrier selection (CCS) algorithm, called Load-Adaptive Carrier Selection (LACS), for 5G-NR/4G-LTE heterogeneous networks. LACS integrates greedy optimization with a lightweight neural network structure to allocate carriers based on individual user throughput requirements. Unlike traditional data rate-greedy approaches that maximize throughput without considering user demand, LACS ensures fair, efficient, and scalable resource allocation across users. In evaluations, LACS achieved 100% user satisfaction across both 4G and 5G scenarios, compared to 71.67% and 76.67% respectively using baseline strategies. Additionally, it reduced the average throughput overshoot by approximately 10 Mbps (4G) and nearly 90 Mbps (5G) compared to data rate-greedy (DRG) allocation, thus minimizing resource waste. These findings highlight LACS as a suitable CCS method for dense network deployments and mission-critical applications
