Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive network search information related to the accessible bands. In some examples, the UE may receive network search information from a server that has access to the network search information. The UE may receive the network search information directly from the server or through another wireless device. In other examples, a base station may broadcast network search information on an anchor carrier. The UE may tune to a carrier of a first radio access network to receive the network search information and use the network search information to assist connecting to a second radio access network. The network search information may include, for example, a network name or network ID, a technology type, band or channel information, security information or credentials.
