Adaptive multi-channel integrated wireless network system architecture

An adaptive multi-channel communications system, comprising:

• frequency hopping means for generating a frequency hopping sequence compliant with a frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) communications protocol and performing FHSS concurrently on a plurality of communications channels;
• and
• frequency selection means coupled to the frequency hopping means, the frequency selection means receiving feedback data over a feedback channel and adaptively selecting a transmission channel from the plurality of communications channels using the feedback data.

An adaptive multi-channel architecture for a wireless network, comprising:

• an integration manager module, operational in the multi-channel architecture, for integrating scheduled and unscheduled communications traffic into a single transmission channel.
