1. A method comprising:
analyzing, by a network device of a radio access network, data pertaining to an end device and a carrier aggregation service, wherein the analyzing comprises:
comparing a power headroom value included in the data to a threshold value that is a dynamic value and frequency band, component carrier, and communication plane specific;
determining, by the network device based on the analysis, that the end device is at or near a carrier component shutoff state; and
performing, by the network device in response to the determining, a mitigation procedure directed to the carrier component shutoff state of the end device.
