Abstract

A method includes establishing, in response to a network device operating in the first frequency band, security for the first frequency band and a second frequency band by performing a single authentication in the first frequency band prior to the network device switching operation from the first frequency band to the second frequency band. The method includes transferring, subsequent to the network device switching operation from the first frequency band to the second frequency band, a communication session of the network device from the first frequency band to the second frequency band. The method includes resuming the communication session of the network device in the second frequency band using the security established for the second frequency band (i) during the operation of the network device in the first frequency band, and (ii) prior to the network device switching operation from the first frequency band to the second frequency band.
