Abstract:
1. A method for selecting and scheduling frequency channel hopping for two or more transceivers, comprising the following steps: establishing two or more transceivers in one communication system; storing a plurality of communication requests for said two or more transceivers in a communication request queue; storing a common hop table having information associated with a plurality of channels for said two or more transceivers; obtaining a first communication request to service from the communication request queue; identifying a first transceiver to use for the first communication request; using the common hop table to determine an available channel to use for the first transceiver; while the first transceiver is performing communication associated with the first communication request, obtaining a second communication request to serve from the communication request queue; and identifying a second transceiver to use for the second communication request; and using the common hop table to determine an available channel to use for the second transceiver, wherein said two or more transceivers can be served concurrently and each channel in the common hop table can be shared concurrently within a period time among the said two or more transceivers and said two or more transceivers perform frequency hopping in parallel among the plurality of channels specified in the common hop table.
