First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of transmitting data comprising:
- identifying, by a device, at least a first channel of a spectrum;
transmitting at least one command to a second, different device, wherein the at least one command contains information that allows the second device to determine at least the first identified channel; and
transmitting data in at least the first identified channel.

Abstract
In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for transmitting data in a spectrum, and seamlessly switching from one transmission channel to an available channel in the spectrum. One example method comprises identifying, by a device, at least a first channel of a spectrum, transmitting at least one command to a second, different device, wherein the at least one command contains information that allows the second device to determine at least the first identified channel, and transmitting data in at least the first identified channel.
