Facilitating application and/or traffic status aware intelligent carrier aggregation in advanced networks is provided herein. Operations of a method can comprise analyzing a traffic usage parameter of a mobile device and, based on a first determination that the traffic usage parameter consumes more uplink resources than downlink resources, configuring, the mobile device with an uplink carrier aggregation based on a first maximization of the uplink carrier aggregation and, thereafter, configuring the mobile device with an allowable downlink carrier aggregation. Alternatively, based on a second determination that the traffic usage parameter consumes more downlink resources than uplink resources, configuring the mobile device with a downlink carrier aggregation based on a second maximization of the downlink carrier aggregation and, thereafter, configuring the mobile device with an allowable uplink carrier aggregation. The uplink carrier aggregation and the downlink carrier aggregation can be non-static carrier aggregations.
