Claim:
1. A method comprising: defining, by a base station, a wireless air interface for communication with a wireless communication device (WCD), wherein the wireless air interface includes paired low-frequency channels and paired high-frequency channels, wherein the paired low-frequency channels include a low-frequency downlink channel and a low-frequency uplink channel, and wherein the paired high-frequency channels include a high-frequency downlink channel and a high-frequency uplink channel; determining, by the base station, that, on at least one of the downlink or uplink channels, the WCD is experiencing a quality of wireless coverage below a threshold wireless coverage value; and in response to the WCD experiencing the quality of wireless coverage below the threshold wireless coverage value, reconfiguring, by the base station, the downlink and uplink channels so that the paired low-frequency channels include two low-frequency uplink channels and the paired high-frequency channels include two high-frequency downlink channels.
