Abstract:
1. A method of radio communication, comprising: providing a predetermined transmission spectrum for transmitting data; configuring a plurality of channels, each operating in a band with a predetermined bandwidth and occupying a portion of said predetermined radio frequency spectrum; transmitting said data over a predetermined sequence of said plurality of channels over time at a bit rate that is set such that a data bit of said data is transmitted on a selected channel of said plurality of channels for a predetermined data bit time; providing a reception passband having a bandwidth commensurate with the predetermined bandwidth of the channel; capturing the predetermined sequence of channels over time by effectively sweeping the predetermined transmission spectrum relative to said reception passband at a sufficient sweep rate such that the selected channel is captured a plurality of times during the predetermined data bit time to acquire the data therein; and extracting the data from the captured channels.
