Systems and methods for managing wireless communication base station radio frequency (rf) band usage by network access devices

A method for managing wireless communication base station radio frequency (RF) band usage by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• generating, by the UE, RF band usage indicators regarding RF band usage with respect to a telecommunications network base station, wherein the telecommunications network base station comprises at least a first RF band layer and a second RF band layer;
• monitoring, by the UE, the RF band usage indicators to determine when the UE attached to the telecommunications network base station via the first RF band layer is causing a service quality degradation on the first RF band layer;
• and
• triggering, by the UE, a reconfiguration of the UE to disable at least one RF band corresponding to the first RF band layer based on the determination of the service quality degradation.

A user equipment (UE) comprising a fixed wireless access (FWA) device for providing network connectivity services to one or more devices at a customer premises, the UE comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• establish a wireless connection with a wireless network base station through a first radio frequency (RF) band layer, wherein the wireless network base station comprises at least the first RF band layer and a second RF band layer;
• maintain an active protocol data unit (PDU) session with an application server while attached to the first RF band layer;
• receive a configuration message from a network configuration server that disables support for the first RF band layer on the UE based on one or more radio frequency (RF) band usage indicators;
• detach from the first RF band layer in response to receiving the configuration message;
• initiate a search for the second RF band layer after detaching from the first RF band layer;
• and
• re-attach to the wireless network base station through the second RF band layer when the second RF band layer is available.
