Patent ID: 7724803

Claim:
A method comprising: extracting frequency hopping information from frequency hopping sequences used in communications between a plurality of mobile stations and a plurality of transceiver stations over dedicated channels, wherein the plurality of transceiver stations are positioned at macrodiverse locations relative to each other, and wherein said extracting includes monitoring for one or more channel activation messages, each indicating activation of a dedicated channel; forming a collision prediction of radio channel interference between first and second dedicated channels, said first dedicated channel providing communications between a first one of the plurality of mobile stations and a first one of the plurality of transceiver stations, and said second dedicated channel providing communications between a second one of the plurality of mobile stations and the first transceiver station, and wherein said forming includes tracking hopping frequencies for each of the plurality of mobile stations over a prediction period; and responsive to said collision prediction, dynamically switching said first dedicated channel to provide communications between the first mobile station and a second one of the plurality of transceiver stations to avoid said radio channel interference.
