Abstract

In systems and method of frequency band selection, a mobility and an application requirement of an application running on a wireless device are determined for a wireless device in communication with an access node over a first frequency band using a first radio access technology. When it is detecting that a signal level of the first frequency band meets a handover criteria, a message is sent to the wireless device comprising information of a second frequency band and a third frequency band, wherein the second and third frequency bands use a second radio access technology. The wireless device is instructed to communicate with the access node using one of the second and third frequency bands based on the determined mobility and application requirement.
