 *
 * The general responsibility of the helper is to create various Component Carrier objects
 * and arrange them together to set the eNodeB. The overall
 * arrangement would look like the following:
 * - Ul Bandwidths
 * - Dl Bandwidths
 * - Ul Earfcn
 * - Dl Earfcn
 *
 *
 * This helper it is also used within the LteHelper in order to maintain backwards compatibility
 * with previous user simulation script.
