Fixed frequency transceiver for use in a frequency hopping system
First Claim
1. A method for a non-frequency-hopping node to transmit and receive data in a frequency-hopping system, comprising:
- a. listening for an active signal generated by the frequency-hopping system on a predetermined frequency channel; and
b. exchanging the data with the frequency-hopping system on the predetermined frequency channel upon detecting the active signal.

Abstract
A non-frequency-hopping node and a method for using such a node to transmit and receive data in a frequency-hopping system are disclosed.
In one embodiment, a non-frequency-hopping node interacts with a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) system, which comprises a wireless medium or electromagnetic airwaves, a frequency-hopping node coupled to the wireless medium and an access point coupled to the wireless medium. The non-frequency-hopping node connects to the wireless medium and listens for an active signal generated by the FHSS system on a predetermined frequency channel. Upon detecting the active signal, the non-frequency-hopping node exchanges information with the FHSS system on the predetermined frequency channel.

6. A non-frequency-hopping node for transmitting and receiving data in a frequency-hopping system, comprising:
-
a. an antenna;
b. a filter coupled to the antenna;
c. a receiver and a transmitter coupled to the filter; and
d. a control unit coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, wherein the control unit listens for an active signal generated by the frequency-hopping system on a predetermined frequency channel and upon detecting the active signal, transmits information through the transmitter, the filter and the antenna to the frequency-hopping system on the predetermined frequency channel. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
