Abstract
Systems, methods, and processing nodes for selecting a backhaul carrier for a relay node including instructing the relay node to attempt to attach to a guard band associated with a carrier that shares a characteristic of the preferred backhaul carrier. The characteristic can include a channel size threshold or a threshold frequency. A numerology of a communication channel within the guard band may be adjusted to enable the relay node to communicate with a donor access node using the guard band.
