Abstract
A method for channel switching comprising the steps: establishing (10) an active communication in a channel ch(m), checking (11) if the communication at an actual timeslot t(n) is successful, if checking (11) if the communication at the actual timeslot t(n) is successful, keeping the communication using the channel ch(m) for a next timeslot t(n+1) and repeating checking (11) if the communication at the actual timeslot t(n) is successful, if checking (11) if the communication at the actual timeslot t(n) is not successful, initiating a selection of a next channel ch(m+1). Further a device for communication is presented.
Claims12
A method for channel switching comprising the following steps:
- establishing an active communication in a channel ch(m);
- checking if the communication at an actual timeslot t(n) is successful;
- if checking if the communication at the actual timeslot t(n) is successful, keeping the communication using the channel ch(m) for a next timeslot t(n+1) and repeating checking if the communication at the actual timeslot t(n) is successful;
- and
- if checking if the communication at the actual timeslot t(n) is not successful, initiating a selection of a next channel ch(m+1);
- wherein the method operates in one of a first and a second mode, wherein in the second mode, a newly assigned channel is kept for at least two times slots.
