Approach For Managing The Use Of Communications Channels Based On Performance
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- loading a set of default channels into a default channel register;
loading a set of good channels into a good channel register;
if a selection kernel addresses a bad channel stored in a particular location of the default channel register, then replacing, by the selection kernel, the bad channel stored in the particular location of the default channel register with a good channel selected from the set of good channels loaded in the good channel register;
wherein the method is performed using one or more computing devices.

Abstract
An approach for selecting sets of communications channels involves determining the performance of communications channels. A set of channels is selected based on the results of performance testing and specified criteria. The participant generates data that identifies the selected set of channels and provides that data to other participants of the communications network. The participants communicate over the set of channels, such as by using a frequency hopping protocol. When a specified time expires or monitoring of the performance of the channel set identifies poor performance of the set of channels, the participant selects another set of channels for use in communications based on additional performance testing. By selecting channels based on the initial performance testing and performance monitoring, the communications network adaptively avoids channels with poor performance.
