Multiplexed radio communication system
First Claim
1. A method of providing hopping communication channels in a hopping multiple access communications system in which a set of R communications resources are used to provide said hopping communications channels, said method including:
- defining a plurality of adjacent communications sites associated with said communications system;
using said R communication resources to define a first set of hopping communications channels associated with a first of said plurality of adjacent communications sites in which no two of said channels in said first set of hopping communications channels employ the same one of said R communications resources at the same time; and
using said R communications resources to define a second set of hopping communications channels associated with a second of said plurality of adjacent communications sites in which no two of said channels in said second set of hopping communications channels employ the same one of said R communications resources at the same time, said second set of hopping communications channels being a first decimated transformation of each of said hopping communications channels in said first set.

Abstract
A multiple access communications system reuses a set of either N carrier frequencies or time slots in adjacent communications sites to provide more than N or T minimally cross-correlated frequency or time hopping communications channels respectively. A first set of communications channels is associated with a first of the communications sites. No two of the channels in the first set employ the same frequency or T time slots at the same time. A second set of communications channels is associated with a second of the adjacent communications sites. No two of the channels in the second set of channels employ the same one of the N carrier frequencies or T time slots at the same time. One or more sets of the minimally cross-correlated channels are further defined so that none of the channels in such sets employ the same frequency at the same time as more than a predetermined number of the channels in another of the sets of the minimally cross-correlated frequency-hopping communications channels. This is accomplished by having such other sets be a decimated transformation of the first or second set respectively.

5. In a hopping multiple access communications system in which a set of R communications resources are used to provide hopping communications channels in said system, said system including:
-
a plurality of adjacent communications sites associated with said communications system; and a central base communications station which uses said R communications resources for defining a first set of hopping communications channels associated with a first of said plurality of adjacent communications sites in which no two of said channels in said first set of hopping communications channels employ the same one of said R communications resources at the same time; and
which also uses said R communications resources for defining a second set of hopping communications channels associated with a second of said plurality of adjacent communications sites in which no two of said channels in said second set of hopping communications channels employ the same one of said R communications resources at the same time, wherein said second set of hopping communications channels is further defined as a first decimated transformation of each of said hopping communications channels in said first set. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
