摘要

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, accessing a network service by a first portion of network operating within a first wireless spectrum, wherein the network service includes control and data forwarding operations of the first portion of the network that are separate and configured to facilitate forwarding of user data via the data forwarding operations. A second network is identified operating within a second wireless spectrum. A redirection is facilitated of the forwarding of the user data via the data forwarding operations to the second portion of the network responsive to a request initiated via the control operations. The request is made without interrupting the forwarding of the user data. Other embodiments are disclosed.
