Channel selection method for improved wireless communication
First Claim
1. A channel selection method for an improved wireless communication between a first local communication system and a second far communication system, the method comprising:
- coordinating a plurality of local transmitters in a listening mode in connection with a remote wireless signal across a plurality of channels;
determining a usable channel configured to transmit from said plurality of channels by distinguishing between a signal from the first local communication system and a signal from the second far communication system;
transmitting on said usable channel.

Abstract
A communication system (10) receiving a communication signal from a far communication system (12) has a channel selector, and a number of local transceivers (22) forming a first broadcast array and a second channel searching array. The first broadcast array is configured to receive the communication signal and transmit a local communication signal on channels. Each local transceiver is connected to a controller (32). The controller is configured to remove noise from the far communication signal. The noise includes interference from the local transceivers being received on the channel. The controller measures a parameter of at Least one of the channels. The controller determines an availability of one or some channels using the second channel searching array. The second channel searching array outputs an available channel signal to the controller. The controller (32) communicates the availability to at least one of the first broadcast array to transmit and to receive the far communication signal on the available channel.

9. A channel selection method for an improved wireless communication between a first local communication system emitting a modulating signal and a second far communication system emitting a substantially constant signal relative to said modulating signal, the method comprising:
-
coordinating a plurality of local transceivers in a receiving mode configured to receive a remote wireless signal across a plurality of channels; determining a usable channel for transmission, said usable channel being derived from said plurality of channels, wherein said usable channel is iteratively determined by distinguishing between a parameter of said modulating signal and said substantially constant signal on at least one channel, wherein when said modulating signal modulates to zero during a cycle said modulating signal is removed from said channel as interference; and transmitting on said usable channel. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

18. A communication system receiving a communication signal from a far communication system, the communication system comprising:
-
a channel selector; a plurality of local transceivers forming a first broadcast array and a second channel searching array, said first broadcast array being configured to receive said communication signal and transmit a local communication signal on a plurality of channels, wherein each of said plurality of local transceivers are connected to a controller, said controller configured to remove an amount of interference from said plurality of local transceivers being received on said channel; wherein said controller measures a parameter of at least one of said plurality of channels, and wherein said controller determines an availability of at least one channel of said plurality of channels using said second channel searching array, and wherein said second channel searching array outputs an available channel signal to said controller, and said controller communicates said availability to at least one of said first broadcast array to transmit and/or receive the far communication signal on said available channel. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A transceiver comprising:
-
a generator connected to a transmit antenna; a receive antenna connected to a receiver; and a controller, wherein said controller is operatively connected to said generator and said receiver, said receiver receiving a plurality of signals on a wireless channel, said plurality of signals each being output to said controller, wherein said controller determines an availability of said wireless channel based in part on said plurality of signals, and wherein said controller changes said wireless channel to another available channel based on said determination.
