Dynamic frequency hopping

A radio head interface module, the module comprising:

• a transmit buffer, the transmit buffer adapted to receive a data stream from a call processing software module and store the data stream as a page of data samples having a page header;
• a transmit engine;
• a digital upconverter, the transmit engine adapted to transfer the page of data samples from the transmit buffer to the digital upconverter;
• a configuration management unit adapted to receive frequency channel hopping information from the call processing software module;
• and
• a memory adapted with digital upconverter parameters;
• wherein the configuration management unit is further adapted to access the memory to lookup associated digital upconverter parameters based on the frequency channel hopping information;
• wherein the configuration management unit is further adapted to output the associated digital upconverter parameters to the digital up converter.

A method of dynamic frequency channel hopping, the method comprising:

• receiving frequency hopping instructions indicating a RF channel to hop to and a designated trigger event;
• determining whether a logical channel is configured for a modulation protocol that supports frequency channel hopping;
• and
• when the logical channel is configured for a modulation protocol that supports frequency hopping, reconfiguring the logical channel to the RF channel indicated by the frequency hopping instructions upon occurrence of the designated trigger event.

A method of dynamic frequency channel hopping, the method comprising:

• receiving frequency hopping instructions indicating an RF channel to hop to and a designated trigger event;
• determining whether a logical channel is configured for a modulation protocol that supports frequency channel hopping;
• and
• when the logical channel is configured for a modulation protocol that supports frequency hopping, reconfiguring the logical channel to the RF channel indicated by the frequency hopping instructions upon the passing of a time delay interval after the occurrence of the designated trigger event.
