1. A method to dynamically reassign radio frequency (RF) spectrum from a first access node to a second access node, wherein the first access node provides wireless communication service on a first carrier having a carrier bandwidth, the method comprising:
selecting a frequency portion of the carrier bandwidth to reassign from the first access node to the second access node, wherein the selecting is based on the frequency portion having a higher determined noise than one or more other frequency portions of the carrier bandwidth, wherein selecting the frequency portion based on the frequency portion having a higher determined noise than one or more other frequency portions of the carrier bandwidth is based on at least one of uplink noise or downlink noise; and
based on the selecting, reassigning the selected frequency portion from the first access node to the second access node to be used by the second access node as at least part of a second carrier on which to provide wireless communication service,
whereby, upon the reassigning of the selected frequency portion, the first access node then continues to provide wireless communication service on a remainder of the first carrier.
