Claim:
A method of transmitting information between a first device and a second device to minimize co-channel interference from at least one interfering device, the method comprising: broadcasting a plurality of pilot subcarriers and a plurality of data subcarriers from the first device and the at least one interfering device, wherein each of the first device and at least one interfering device broadcasts a pilot subcarrier on a number of overlapping frequency bands equal to a total number of sources comprising the first device and at least one interfering device, wherein the number of overlapping frequency bands changes after a period of time, and wherein: a first pilot subcarrier transmitted at a first frequency band and a first data subcarrier transmitted at a data frequency band are broadcast by the first device at a first period of time and a second pilot subcarrier transmitted at a second frequency band and a second data subcarrier transmitted at the data frequency band are broadcast by the first device at a second period of time different from the first period of time.
