1. A method of dynamic modification of a communication link, the method comprising:
- assigning a new carrier frequency to a first communication link;
adjusting the carrier frequency of the first communication link until the new carrier frequency is reached without substantially interrupting the first communication link;
wherein the first communication link uses a single link during the modification; and
adjusting the frequency of at least one additional link;
wherein the first communication link and at least one additional link comprise a duplex link.
