At 406, control information that includes one or more signal synchronization blocks may be acquired from the FWA UE 104A (or the mobile UE 104B) over the established short-range wireless communication link 116. Alternatively, the control information of one or more signal synchronization blocks may be acquired directly from the first base station 106 over an LTE control plane link. The acquired control information of one or more SSBs indicates a set of potential carrier frequencies shared via the LTE network 112.
At 408, it may be determined whether the FWA UE 104A (or the mobile UE 104B) is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state based on the established short-range wireless communication link 116. Alternatively, in an embodiment, the determination of whether the FWA UE 104A (or the mobile UE 104B) is in the RRC connected state is based on the control information directly acquired from the first base station 106 over the LTE control plane link. In cases where the FWA UE 104A (or the mobile UE 104B) is in the RRC connected state, the control passes to 410, otherwise the control returns to 406.
