Abstract

Selection between first and second communication channels of differing bandwidths for communication between communication devices may be chosen by a method, an apparatus, or a computer-readable medium wherein the first channel is employed as a communication channel, a determination is made whether a criterion associated with the communication channel is met, and, if the criterion associated with the communication channel is met, an evaluation of the second channel is performed and one of the first and second channels is chosen to subsequently employ as the communication channel based on the evaluation of the second channel.
