Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain a band priority list identifying a set of bands in a prioritized order. The UE may perform a system scan of one or more bands of a frequency list that are associated with at least a threshold energy level in the prioritized order of the one or more bands in the band priority list. Numerous other aspects are described.

A wireless communication device is located in a wireless network sector. A wireless access node determines sector centrality for the wireless communication device wherein the sector centrality comprises an angle between a central line that bisects the wireless network sector and a device line that is toward the wireless communication device. The wireless access node selects one or more radio frequency bands for the wireless communication device based on the sector centrality for the wireless communication device. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges data with the wireless communication device over the selected one or more radio frequency bands.
