Abstract
A channel for communicating traffic between two transceivers is assigned based on the communication of messages between those two transceivers. A first transceiver sends a request message over a plurality of possible communication channels. The second transceiver selects one of the channels over which a request message was received, and responds to the request over the channel selected. The first transceiver then assigns the channel for communicating traffic based on receipt of the response on the selected channel.
