Application-based multi-band transmission

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause a radio access provider to perform operations comprising:

• receiving power capacities for wireless communication devices, the power capacities being associated with at least active applications of the wireless communication devices;
• receiving service priorities associated with the active applications, the service priorities including at least quality-of-service class identifiers (QCI);
• generating at least one first cross-correlation score for at least one first pair of blocks or channels based at least in part on at least one first reference signal received from the at least one first pair of blocks or channels, wherein the at least one first cross-correlation score is stored in a lookup table;
• selecting a first set of blocks or channels from one or more frequency bands of a plurality of frequency bands for a first radio communication link for a first wireless communication device of the wireless communication devices based at least in part on a first power capacity of the first wireless communication device, a first service priority associated with a first application, and the at least one first cross-correlation score;
• generating at least one second cross-correlation score for at least one second pair of blocks or channels based at least in part on at least one second reference signal received from the at least one second pair of blocks or channels, wherein the at least one second cross-correlation score is stored in the lookup table;
• and
• selecting a second set of blocks or channels from the one or more frequency bands of the plurality of frequency bands for a second radio communication link for a second wireless communication device of the wireless communication devices based at least in part on a second power capacity of the second wireless communication device, a second service priority associated with a second application, and the at least one second cross-correlation score.

A wireless communication device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless communication device to perform operations comprising:
• determine, based on signal quality metrics of multiple frequency bands, a plurality of the multiple frequency bands that are available to the wireless communication device;
• receiving, from a previous radio access provider, a power demand for transmission via each frequency band of the plurality of the multiple frequency bands;
• determining a power metric indicative of power available to the wireless communication device;
• receiving service priorities associated with active applications of the wireless communication device, the service priorities including at least quality-of-service class identifiers (QCI);
• generating at least one cross-correlation score for at least one pair of frequency bands of the plurality of the multiple frequency bands based at least in part on at least one reference signal received from the at least one pair of frequency bands, wherein the at least one cross-correlation score is stored in a lookup table;
• selecting a subset of the plurality of the multiple frequency bands based at least in part on the respective power demands, the service priorities associated with the active applications, the power metric, and the at least one cross-correlation score;
• and
• informing a radio access provider of the subset of the plurality of the multiple frequency bands.
