System and method for carrier aggregation IMD control

Methods and devices are described for managing the use of system resources in a wireless network. In one aspect, a method is performed by a wireless network system associated with a wireless network. The method provides upstream communications from an electronic device to the wireless network. The method includes: identifying a set of carriers that may be used together without causing an intermodulation product that falls within one or more active pass-bands associated with a receiver of the electronic device; and scheduling a carrier aggregated upstream communication from the electronic device to the wireless network using the identified set of carriers, the carrier aggregated upstream communication being an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing communication.
