A wireless communication system comprises a mobile station in communication with an infrastructure that supports multiple radio frequency (RF) band classes. When the infrastructure receives a request to originate a call from the mobile station via a first radio frequency (RF) band of the multiple RF bands, the infrastructure determines whether to attempt to assign the mobile station to an RF band other than the first RF band. In response to determining to attempt to assign the mobile station to an RF band other than the first RF band, the infrastructure retrieves RF traffic channel decision-related data maintained by the infrastructure before performing further call processing and determines whether the mobile station may be inter-band re-directed based on the RF traffic channel decision-related data. When the mobile station may be inter-band re-directed, the infrastructure re-directs the mobile station to a second RF band of the multiple RF bands.
