Abstract:
1. A frequency band adaptive wireless communication device that is arranged to communicate over a plurality of frequency bands, comprising: a means for identifying available frequency bands of the plurality of frequency bands based on a suitability of each of the plurality of frequency bands for a radio communication link; a means for obtaining at least one radio signal quality metric associated with a radio signal quality of each of the identified available frequency bands; a means for obtaining a transmission goal for the radio communications link; a means for evaluating one or more transmission scenarios based on the transmission goal, each transmission scenario comprising a possible combination of at least two of the identified available frequency bands, wherein the evaluation of the one or more transmission scenarios is based at least in part on the at least one radio signal quality metric associated with each of the respective identified available frequency bands; a means for selecting a transmission scenario for the radio communication link based at least on the evaluation of the one or more transmission scenarios; and a means for causing the radio communication link to be established using the selected transmission scenario.
