Claim 0:
1. A computerized method of managing detection of interference in a first frequency band being used in a wireless access network by a wireless access node and one or more wireless user devices connected to the wireless access network through the wireless access node, the computerized method comprising:
detecting wireless interference associated with the first frequency band;
based on the detecting, selecting at least one second frequency band which at least meets one or more interference-related criteria;
determining that the one or more wireless user devices are initially in at least one of (i) an idle mode or (ii) an inactive mode;
sending a first signal to the one or more wireless user devices to cause the one or more wireless user devices to transition from the at least one of (i) the idle mode or (ii) the inactive mode to at least one of (i) a connected mode or (ii) an active mode, wherein the first signal and the transition to the at least one of (i) the connected mode or (ii) the active mode comprises a Fifth Generation (5G) Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) compliant paging procedure, and the first signal is initiated by an access and mobility management function (AMF); and
sending a second signal to the one or more wireless user devices to cause the one or more wireless user devices to switch from use of the first frequency band to use of the at least one second frequency band, wherein the sending of the second signal to the one or more wireless user devices to cause the switching to the use of the at least one second frequency band comprises using a 5G 3GPP compliant frequency change procedure.
