We consider the performance optimization of multi-cell networks with LTE and Wi-Fi aggregation (LWA) and LTE-unlicensed (LTE-U) with sharing of the unlicensed band. Theoretical results are derived to enable an algorithm to approach the optimum. Numerical results show the algorithm's effectiveness and benefits of joint use of LWA and LTE-U.
