1. A method for creating a spectrum agile wireless multi-hopping network including a plurality of nodes communicating with each other within the wireless multi-hopping network, the method comprising:
- within at least one of the plurality of nodes;
receiving and storing one or more spectrum availability information associated with one or more conditions; and
providing the spectrum availability information to the one or more neighboring nodes so that the one or more neighboring nodes can communicate over one or more frequency spectrums indicated by the spectrum availability information when a first condition exists, and so that the one or more neighboring nodes can communicate over another one or more frequency spectrums indicated by the spectrum availability information when a second condition exists.

11. A spectrum agile wireless multi-hopping network, comprising:
-
a plurality of nodes, adapted to communicate with each other within the wireless multi-hopping network, at least one of the plurality of nodes being adapted to receive and store one or more spectrum availability information associated with one or more conditions; and the at least one of the plurality of nodes being further adapted to provide the spectrum availability information to one or more neighboring nodes so that the one or more neighboring nodes can communicate over one of one or more frequency spectrums indicated by the spectrum availability information when a first condition exists, and so that the one or more neighboring nodes can communicate over another one or more frequency spectrums indicated by the spectrum availability information when a second condition exists. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
