An adaptive frequency hopping wireless communication method in which, upon completion of the transmission of a packet from a transmitting device to a receiving device in a time slot, the transmitting or receiving device (or both) uses the remaining time in the slot, if the amount of remaining time is adequate, to detect interference. Adequate remaining time is recognized from the length of the time slot, minus the length of the packet, minus the time needed to prepare for transmission or reception in the next time slot. This scheme permits frequency channels in which interfering signals are present and frequency channels in which interfering signals are absent to be detected quickly so that use of these frequency channels can be promptly discontinued or resumed.
