1. A method comprising:

  • operating a device on a wireless wide area network band via a wireless wide area network base station using a wireless wide area network radio access technology;

    connecting, by the device, to a wireless local area network base station using the wireless wide area network radio access technology on a wireless wide area network radio access technology wireless local area network band operating on a wireless local area network frequency;

    connecting, by the device, to a wireless local area network access point using a wireless local area network radio access technology on a wireless local area network radio access technology band operating on a wireless local area network frequency;

    determining the wireless wide area network radio access technology wireless local area network band is the same band as the wireless local area network radio access technology band;

    comparing a signal metric of one selected from the wireless wide area network radio access technology wireless local area network band and the wireless local area network radio access technology band to a threshold;

    determining whether to disable communications on one selected from the wireless wide area network radio access technology wireless local area network band and the wireless local area network radio access technology band based on comparing the signal metric of the one selected from the wireless wide area network radio access technology wireless local area network band and the wireless local area network radio access technology band to a threshold; and

    disabling communications of one selected from the wireless wide area network radio access technology wireless local area network band and the wireless local area network radio access technology band if the communications on the one selected from the wireless wide area network radio access technology wireless local area network band and the wireless local area network radio access technology band should be disabled.
