This paper seeks to explore the integration of spectrum andnetwork resource management functionalities to the benefit ofachieving higher performance and capacity gains in an InternationalMobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-A) scenario.In particular, we investigate the allocation of users overtwo frequency bands (i.e., 2 GHz and 5 GHz) for a single operatorscenario. The same type of Radio Access Technology(RAT) is considered for both frequency bands. It is assumedthat the operator has gained access to a non-shared 2 GHz bandand to part (or all) of the frequency pool band at 5 GHz. Theperformance gain is analyzed in terms of higher data throughput.The performance is heavily dependent on the channelquality for each user in the considered bands which, in turn,is a function of the path loss and the distance from the BaseStation (BS). The operator will have relevant improvementswhen Mobile Stations are heterogeneously distributed on thecell, with variable distances from the BS. A gain up to 500kbps (20%) was obtained with the proposed optimal solution
