Abstract: A wireless data relay has radio circuitry to wirelessly scan a frequency band having frequency channels. The radio circuitry attaches to a wireless network over the frequency band. The radio circuitry receives signaling from the wireless network indicating allowed frequency channels and transfers the signaling to control circuitry. In the wireless data relay, the control circuitry processes the signaling to direct the radio circuitry to use the allowed frequency channels instead of the frequency band. In response, the radio circuitry wirelessly scans the allowed frequency channels instead of the frequency band. The radio circuitry wirelessly re-attaches to the wireless communication network over the allowed frequency channels. The radio circuitry exchanges user data with the UEs. The radio circuitry exchanges the user data with the wireless network over the allowed frequency channels.
