1. A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
transmitting, with a first communication device using a first communication network, a parameter of the electronic device to a base station of a second communication network;
receiving, with the first communication device using the first communication network, overhead information facilitating electronic communication with the base station using the second communication network;
establishing, with a second communication device using the second communication network, a communication channel with the base station; and
communicating, with the second communication device using the second communication network, with the base station via the communication channel;
wherein the first communication network and the second communication network are different;
the first communication network comprising a local area network;
the second communication network comprising a wide area network;
the local area network comprising an ultra-wideband network; and
the method further comprising:
selecting, with one or more processors, the communication channel from a plurality of communication channels operating in the second communication network; and
transmitting, with the first communication device using the first communication network, an identification of the communication channel to the base station.
