Determining a frequency for a client device to use to connect to a network

A computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• a plurality of instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the processor to:
• obtain network information indicating, for each of a plurality of frequencies, an amount of client devices registered in an operator network that support a respective frequency, of the plurality of frequencies, independent of whether client devices connected to the operator network are using the respective frequency;
• obtain client device information identifying a client device;
• determine at least one frequency the client device supports based on the client device information,
• the at least one frequency being included in the plurality of frequencies;
• determine a frequency for the client device to use to communicate with the operator network based on the at least one frequency that the client device supports and the amount of client devices registered in the operator network that support the frequency,
• the frequency being included in the at least one frequency that the client device supports,
• the client devices registered in the operator network being registered independent of whether the client devices are connected to the operator network;
• and
• provide an instruction to the client device to use the frequency to communicate with the operator network.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a device, network information indicating a first amount of client devices, of each of a plurality of device types, registered in an operator network,
• the network information indicating, for each of a plurality of frequencies, a second amount of client devices registered in the operator network that support a respective frequency, of the plurality of frequencies, independent of whether client devices connected to the operator network are using the respective frequency;
• receiving, by the device, client device information identifying a client device;
• determining, by the device, a device type of the client device based on the client device information,
• the device type being at least one of the plurality of device types;
• determining, by the device, a frequency, of the plurality of frequencies, for the client device to use to connect to a base station in the operator network based on the device type of the client device, the first amount of client devices, of each of the plurality of device types, registered in the operator network, and the second amount of client devices registered in the operator network that support the frequency,
• the client devices registered in the operator network being registered independent of whether the client devices are connected to the operator network;
• and
• sending, by the device, a message to the client device instructing the client device to use the frequency to connect to the base station in the operator network.
