Abstract
Systems, methods, and software for selecting frequency bands in wireless communication networks are provided herein. In one example, a method of operating a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes, in the wireless communication device, exchanging wireless communications with the wireless network over the throughput frequency band, tracking mobility status of the wireless communication device to determine if the mobility status satisfies a mobility condition, and responsively transferring a mobility mode indication to the wireless network. The method also includes, in the wireless network, receiving the mobility mode indication and transitioning the wireless communication device to the mobility frequency band from the throughput frequency band. The method also includes, in the wireless communication device, responsive to transitioning from the throughput frequency band to the mobility frequency band, exchanging wireless communications with the wireless network over the mobility frequency band.
