3. On a network of frequency hopping spectral reuse transceivers, a method for creating a new frequency hopping sequence over which communications may be conducted by selecting sub-channels for communication comprising the steps of:
-
a. a base station transceiver analyzing the spectrum of potential sub-channels over which communications may be conducted wherein said analysis comprises the measurement of signal levels on said sub-channels to determine their suitability for conducting communications by detecting the presence and absence of interfering signals and the recordation of said measurements; b. said base station transceiver compiling a sample spectrum of suitable potential sub-channels identified in step a; c. said base station transceiver analyzing which sub-channels of the frequency hopping sequence currently in use have new interference; d. said base station transceiver determining which sub-channels not currently in the frequency hopping sequence are interference free; e. said base station transceiver constructing a new frequency hopping sequence by adding the sub-channels compiled in step b to those sub-channels in the current frequency hopping sequence that are interference free and subtracting those sub-channels identified in step c. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. On a network of frequency hopping spectral reuse transceivers, wherein said network comprises more than one base station transceiver and wherein a mobile transceiver comprises at least two receivers, a method for determining hand-off procedures between base station transceivers comprising the steps:
-
a) monitoring signal strength levels from the presently associated base station transceiver using one receiver; b) simultaneously measuring signal strength levels from other base station transceivers within network range using a different receiver; and c) comparing the respective signal strengths to determine whether the mobile transceiver should disassociate from one base station transceiver to another base station transceiver.
