1. A method for a low-cost Internet base station (LCIB) to prioritize carriers on a frequency-hopping pilot beacon, the method comprising:

  • providing a frequency-hopping pilot beacon that repeatedly cycles through transmitting pilot-beacon information on each of multiple carriers;

    identifying a first list of mobile stations;

    identifying a first list of carriers;

    using the first list of mobile stations to identify a second list of carriers from among the first list of carriers, thereby identifying a third list of carriers consisting of any carriers that are in the first list of carriers but not in the second list of carriers; and

    prioritizing the second list of carriers over the third list of carriers for inclusion in the frequency-hopping pilot beacon.
