Abstract:
1. A method of controlling frequency hopping wireless communication between first and second frequency hopping wireless communication devices, comprising: the first device obtaining quality measurements respectively associated with frequencies that have been previously used by the second device to transmit information to the first device via a wireless communication link; the first device selecting, based on the quality measurements, one of the frequencies for transmission of a selected upcoming communication from the first device to the second device; the first device transmitting to the second device via the wireless communication link information indicative of the frequency that has been selected for transmission of the selected communication; and the second device transmitting information to the first device on the frequency selected by the first device if the second device received the transmission from the first device indicating the frequency selected for transmission of the communication and a frequency selected by the second device if the second device did not receive the transmission from the first device indicating the frequency selected for transmission.
