METHOD FOR RECEIVING CHANNEL SELECTION INFORMATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for a slave device to receive channel selection information from a master device, comprising:
- the master device selecting a channel of a band of channels for communications between the master device and the slave device;
the master device transmitting channel selection information, which identifies the selected channel, as modulated pulses on the channel;
the slave device performing wideband energy detection on the band of channels to detect the modulated pulses;
the slave device demodulating the modulated pulses to determine the selected channel; and
the slave device tuning to the selected channel for communications between the master device and the slave device.

Abstract
A master device selects a channel from a band of channels for communications with a slave device. The master transmits information identifying the selected to the slave device using a packet modulated as a series of energy pulses on the selected channel. The slave device performs wideband energy detection on the band of channels and receives the modulated pulses. The slave device decodes the modulated pulses to retrieve the selected channel, and tunes to the selected channel for further communications.
