Structured adaptive frequency hopping

摘要

The invention generally provides a method of intelligent frequency hopping such as in Bluetooth and Home RF networks. The method ( 100 ) includes the acts of sampling a plurality of channels in a frequency band and identifying each channel as a good channels or a bad channel ( 110 ), determining the size of a good window and the size of a bad window ( 120 ), and assigning a plurality of good channels to a good window ( 130 ) and a plurality of bad channels to a bad window ( 140 ). Accordingly, the method increases the reliability and throughput of wireless networks.
