Abstract
A multiple hyperband capable mobile station is programmed with either or both hyperband and frequency band communications selection criteria. The selection criteria utilized include restricting operation to certain hyperbands and/or frequency bands, preferring operation in certain hyperbands and/or frequency bands, and prioritizing operation to certain hyperbands and/or frequency bands. The programmed hyperband selection criteria facilitate control over server selection by the mobile station in response to a received neighbor list of a hyperband and frequency bands (and the channels therein) for effectuating cellular communications. The selection criteria for a mobile station are further transmitted to the system from the mobile station for use in making mobile station hand-off determinations.
