Abstract
A system and method for creating a spectrum agile wireless multi-hopping network, such as a wireless ad-hoc peer-to-peer multi-hopping network. The spectrum agile multi-hopping network that can respond to conditions affecting spectrum, such as FCC rulings or business related agreements on spectrum licensing related to a location or other measurable parameters of the network.
Claims20
A method for creating a spectrum agile wireless multi-hopping network including a plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
- storing information pertaining to respective spectrum availability based on respective conditions;
- and
- providing the spectrum availability information to the nodes so that the nodes can communicate over one of the frequency spectrums indicated by the spectrum availability information when a respective condition exists, and so that the nodes can communicate over another one of the frequency spectrums indicated by the spectrum availability information when another respective condition exists.
A spectrum agile wireless multi-hopping network, comprising:
- a plurality of nodes, adapted to communicate in the network, at least one of the nodes being adapted to store information pertaining to respective spectrum availability based on respective conditions;
- and
- said at least one of the nodes being further adapted to provide the spectrum availability information to the nodes so that the nodes can communicate over one of the frequency spectrums indicated by the spectrum availability information when a respective condition exists, and so that the nodes can communicate over another one of the frequency spectrums indicated by the spectrum availability information when another respective condition exists.
