1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a radio frequency (RF) filter block to selectively transmit or receive signals in a wireless network using a selected one of a first frequency band or a second frequency band, the first frequency band being a lower frequency band than the second frequency band; and
a controller coupled to the RF filter block to control the RF filter block to select the first frequency band to transmit or receive a control signal to facilitate initial communication by the apparatus in the wireless network, enabling subsequent communication by the apparatus using the second frequency band.

Abstract
Systems that communicate in a wireless network using a first and a second frequency band are described herein. The systems may use the first frequency band to transmit or receive a control signal, enabling subsequent communication using the second frequency band.

12. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a radio frequency (RF) filter block to selectively transmit or receive signals in a wireless network using a selected one of a first frequency band or a second frequency band, the first frequency band being a lower frequency band than the second frequency band;
a pair of first and second inputs or a pair of first and second outputs coupled to the RF filter block to receive or output a pair of first and second signals, the first input or output adapted to receive or output in-phase signals, and the second input or output adapted to receive or output quadrature signals; and
a controller coupled to the RF filter block to control the RF filter block to select the first frequency band to transmit or receive a control signal to facilitate initial communication by the apparatus in the wireless network, enabling subsequent communication by the apparatus using the second frequency band. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus, comprising:
-
circuitry including a radio frequency (RF) filter block to selectively transmit or receive signals in a wireless network using a selected one of a first frequency band or a second frequency band, the first frequency band being a lower frequency band than the second frequency band;
one or more frequency synthesizers coupled to the circuitry to provide a first and a second carrier signal to the circuitry, the first carrier signal having a frequency lower than frequency of the second carrier signal, the first and the second carrier signal to modulate or demodulate signals to be transmitted or received through the first and second frequency bands, respectively; and
a controller coupled to the RF filter block to control the RF filter block to select the first frequency band to transmit or receive a control signal to facilitate initial communication by the apparatus in the wireless network, enabling subsequent communication by the apparatus using the second frequency band. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
