High probability to occupy the 2 carriers' bandwidth: 100% instantaneous capacity gain.
Service response delay: significantly shortened reduces the give up due to waiting long time.

SCC
Step1: eNodeB configures the cell meeting measurement criteria as the SCC of the UE.
Step2: When the UE's traffic increases, the SCC is activated. Then, CA is implemented.
Step3: When the UE's traffic decreases, the SCC is deactivated, which can save the UE's power.
