Claim Text:
1. A network comprising: at least one transmitting device; at least one receiving device configured with circuitry to receive information from the transmitting device, wherein the transmitting device and receiving device are configured with circuitry to exchange test one information to facilitate dynamic assignation of at least one band in a spectrum over which the information is subsequently sent from the transmitting device to the receiving device in a home network, wherein at least one of the transmitting device, receiving device, and a master device in the network is configured with circuitry to determine whether a frequency band determined to be acceptable has sufficient bandwidth for an intended communication, and responsive to determining that the frequency band determined to be acceptable does not have sufficient bandwidth for the intended communication, test an additional band in the spectrum, wherein a band in the spectrum having a higher frequency than any other band in the spectrum is tested first.
