Abstract

In systems and methods of frequency band selection in a multiband communication system, it is determined for a wireless device that a lower frequency band signal strength criteria meets a first threshold above a higher frequency band signal strength criteria and that the higher frequency band signal strength meets a second threshold. A modulation and coding scheme of a communication link of the wireless device is determined. When the higher frequency band signal strength criteria meets the secpmd threshold and the determined modulation and coding scheme meets a third threshold, the wireless device is instructed to change from operating on the higher frequency band to operating on the lower frequency band.
