1. A system for managing wireless communication base station radio frequency (RF) band usage by access devices, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable media storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
monitor RF band usage of at least a first RF band layer of a wireless network base station, wherein the wireless network base station comprises at least the first RF band layer and a second RF band layer;
detect, based at least on the RF band usage, when at least one user equipment (UE) attached to the wireless network base station via the first RF band layer is causing a potential service quality degradation on the first RF band layer; and
reconfigure the at least one UE to disable support on the at least one UE for the first RF band layer based on detection of the potential service quality degradation.
 
11. A wireless network base station, the base station comprising:
at least one controller comprising one or more processing units to execute one or more wireless communication base station functions, wherein the wireless network base station is configured to communicate with one or more user equipment (UE) over one or both of uplink (UL) radio frequency (RF) signals and downlink (DL) RF signals, the one or more processing units to further execute operations comprising:
monitoring RF band usage of at least a first RF band layer of the wireless network base station, wherein the wireless network base station comprises at least the first RF band layer and a second RF band layer;
detecting, based at least on the RF band usage, when at least one UE attached to the wireless network base station via the first RF band layer is causing a potential service quality degradation on the first RF band layer; and
reconfiguring the at least one UE to disable support on the at least one UE for the first RF band layer based on detection of the potential service quality degradation.
