1. A method for selectively routing a primary cell component carrier and a secondary cell component carrier in a wireless communications system, comprising:
receiving the primary cell component carrier;
receiving the secondary cell component carrier;
routing the primary cell component carrier to each of the plurality of remote units;
routing the secondary cell component carrier to a first remote unit and not to a second remote unit of the plurality of remote units based on at least one of a transmission power demand or a signal quality associated with the plurality of remote units;
monitoring wireless capacity demand associated with the plurality of signal outputs;
monitoring the signal quality associated with the plurality of signal outputs based on a signal to noise ratio;
determining the subset of the plurality of signal outputs for routing the secondary cell component carrier based on the subset of the plurality of signal outputs being associated with a respective wireless capacity demand; and
monitoring a signal to noise ratio (SNR) measurement associated with each of the plurality of remote units, wherein the signal quality is based on the signal to noise ratio.
