Multimedia module with channel control module and methods for use therewith

摘要

A multimedia module includes a first transceiver module (234) that modulates an encoded signal (232) to produce a first radio frequency (RF) signal (236) and that transmits the first RF signal to a client module over a first transceiver channel when the first transceiver module (234) is in a transceive mode. The first transceiver module includes a first channel control module that determines at least one performance parameter of the first transceiver channel and asserts a low performance signal when the at least one performance parameter compares unfavorably to a performance threshold, and that switches the first transceiver module to a selected alternative transceiver channel when the low performance signal is asserted. The multimedia module also includes a second transceiver module (236) which includes a second channel control module (330) that performs a channel scan in response to a scan event. The channel scan includes determining at least one performance parameter of a plurality of alternative transceiver channels and selecting the selected alternative transceiver channel of the plurality of alternative transceiver channels.
