Abstract: With rapid proliferation of radio technology, discontinuous spectrum aggregation and access in a single radio has become conceivable. When the bandwidth of the spectrum fragment is narrow, then spectrum aggregation can be utilized to bundle multiple small fragments in one radio. This can positively improve the efficiency of the spectrum utilization. Though, aggregation of fragmented segments leads to improved spectrum utilization it results in further spectrum fragmentation leading to practical hardware constraints. As a solution, we use the popular memory allocation techniques to perform spectrum aggregation so that further fragmentation can be reduced. We derive at an efficient Spectrum Aggregation Algorithm based on Memory Allocation techniques.
