Patent ID: 7903718

Claim:
A system for dynamic frequency hopping (“DFH”) among a plurality of wireless regional area network (“WRAN”) cells wherein each WRAN cell includes a base station (“BS”) and a plurality of consumer premise equipments (“CPEs”) associated with the BS, the system comprising: a DFH Community formed from the plurality of WRAN cells wherein at least one of the plurality of WRAN cells in the DFH Community is a leader cell and wherein each other of the plurality of WRAN cells within the DFH Community is a one-hop neighbor of the leader cell; a number of channels for communicating between each of the CPEs and BS of the plurality of WRAN cells; and a hopping pattern set by the leader cell wherein the hopping pattern hops over the number of channels providing interruption free working channels and mutual interference-free sensing among each of the plurality of WRAN cells in the DFH Community.
