Assignee: T-MOBILE INNOVATIONS LLC
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by an electronic processor of a processing node in a network, cause the following operations to be performed:
setting a first noise threshold for an access node, wherein the access node is configured for communication in both of a first communication mode and a second communication mode;
monitoring a first noise parameter in a band of the first communication mode, wherein the noise parameter is a reverse noise rise;
receiving a join request from a wireless device, wherein the wireless device is configured for communication in both of the first communication mode and the second communication mode and is in a common coverage area of the first communication mode and the second communication mode;
comparing the first noise parameter to the first noise threshold;
when the first noise parameter does not exceed the first noise threshold, transmitting a command to the wireless device to cause the wireless device to join the network using the first communication mode; and
when that the first noise parameter exceeds the first noise threshold, transmitting a command to the wireless device to cause the wireless device to join the network using the second communication mode.
