Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and access devices configured to switch frequencies in a wireless access network. The techniques described in the disclosed embodiments may be used to facilitate efficient switching of frequencies in a dynamic spectrum environment. In one aspect, the disclosed embodiments may be implemented in a Long Term Evolution access network. The disclosed embodiments receive, by an access device, information allocating at least one frequency channel to be used by the access device. The disclosed embodiments also transmit, to one or more user equipment connected to the access device, an instruction for directing the one or more user equipment to look a first frequency channel. As a result, the disclosed embodiments allow efficient switching of frequencies even if the spectrum may be allocated dynamically.
