Abstract

In systems and methods of managing frequency band selection for a wireless device, a first signal level of a first frequency band and a second signal level of a second frequency band received at a wireless device are monitored, wherein the first frequency band comprises a lower frequency band than the second frequency band. A first signal level difference is determined between the first signal level and the second signal level, and the wireless device is instructed to communicate with the access node over the second frequency band when the first signal level difference meets a first signal level difference criteria based on a decrease of the second signal level.
