Abstract: Intelligent band switching is disclosed. “LO” bands are those with frequencies of less than one gigahertz (GHz) and “HI” bands are those with frequencies of approximately 1.7 GHz or more. Two or more LO bands may be aggregated (“LOLO”) when the signal strength received by user equipment (UE) is above a minimum signal strength threshold, for example. A LO band and a HI band may be aggregated (“LOHI”) when the signal strength received by the UE is below the minimum signal strength threshold. The UE may prefer to use LOLO based on a policy, and switching from LOLO to LOHI, and vice versa, is based on the comparison of the received signal strength to the minimum signal strength threshold. Three, four, or more LO bands may be aggregated if the resultant drop in signal strength is still above the minimum signal strength threshold, for instance.

Abstract: Intelligent, policy-based network selection for telecommunications networks is disclosed. A network is selected for user equipment (UE) to switch/attach to based on policy logic incorporated into the UE, the carrier network, or both. The UE is dynamically configured with improved or optimal parameters for the selected network. The UE may be configured to access all of the capabilities of the selected network that its hardware supports. The carrier network may also include logic that assists with determining when to switch networks and which network to switch to. Such information may assist in determining which network is optimal for the given policy.
