Patent ID: 7894503

Claim:
A method of flexible channel allocation, comprising: defining an overlapping band group 6 composed of a 9 th frequency band, a 10 th frequency band, and a 11 th frequency band of ultra wideband spectra; receiving communications via a transceiver radio signals through rapidly switching among the overlapping band group 6 according to a flexible hopping pattern, wherein the radio signals are a plurality of symbols with each symbol carried by any one of the 9 th frequency band, the 10 th frequency band, and the 11 th frequency band and wherein the hopping pattern of the band group 6 to include the 9 th frequency band, the 10 th frequency band, the 11 th frequency band; scanning the ultra wideband spectra to determine the overlapping band group 6 based on the flexible hopping pattern of the radio signals, wherein the ultra wideband spectra to include 14 frequency bands from 3100 MHz to 10,600MHz with each of the 14 frequency bands to have a 528 MHz bandwidth; performing a time-frequency code synchronization detection to distinguish between the band group 6 and the at least one of a band group 3 and a band group 4 during the scanning the ultra wideband spectra; allocating at least one reserved bit in a preamble of the each symbol to distinguish between the band group 6 and at least one of the band group 3 and the band group 4 , wherein the band group 3 to include a 7 th frequency band, an 8 th frequency band, and the 9 th frequency band, and the band group 4 to include the 10 th frequency band, the 11 th frequency band, and a 12 th frequency band; and dynamically determining at the transceiver that the overlapping band group 6 is allocated instead of other band groups.
