18. A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of network equipment, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
determining a location of a mobile device to be proximate to a center of a first primary cell or an edge of the first primary cell within the first primary cell of the mobile device;
determining, based on the determined location of the mobile device and evaluating mobile measurement data of the mobile device operating with the first primary cell for carrier aggregation, that switching the first primary cell to a second primary cell is likely to result in more optimal performance of the mobile device; and
switching, by the network equipment, the first primary cell to the second primary cell.
