Multi-band channel discovery for wlan

Abstract

In some examples, in response to determining that a new communication channel is required, a wireless device retrieves information provided from a network node of availability of alternative communication channels for the wireless device. In response to retrieving information that a second communication channel is available for a location within which the wireless device is located, the wireless device removes wireless device specific information and initiates a request to connect to the second communication channel, where the second communication channel is in a frequency range different from a frequency range of the first communication channel.
