Abstract
A short range radio communication device and a method of controlling a short range radio communication device may include a processing circuit configured to: determine a time offset between an initial starting point of operation of a transceiver in accordance with a first frequency hopping sequence and a shifted starting point of operation of the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence so that a first segment of a frequency range is exclusive of a second segment of the frequency range; and control at least one of a controller and a clock circuit to operate the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence at the shifted starting point.
Claims20
A short range radio communication device comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a clock circuit;
- a controller configured to operate the transceiver in a frequency range in accordance with a first frequency hopping sequence consisting of frequencies in a first segment of the frequency range and a second frequency hopping sequence consisting of frequencies in a second segment of the frequency range, wherein the first frequency hopping sequence and the second frequency hopping sequence are synchronized with the clock circuit, and
- a processing circuit configured to:
- determine a time offset between an initial starting point of operation of the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence and a shifted starting point of the operation of the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence so that the first segment is exclusive of the second segment;
- and
- control at least one of the controller and the clock circuit to operate the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence at the shifted starting point.
A method for controlling a short range radio communication device, the method comprising:
- operating a transceiver in a frequency range in accordance with a first frequency hopping sequence consisting of frequencies in a first segment of the frequency range and a second frequency hopping sequence consisting of frequencies in a second segment of the frequency range, wherein the first frequency hopping sequence and the second frequency hopping sequence are synchronized with a clock circuit, determining a time offset, by a processing circuit, between an initial starting point of operation of the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence and a shifted starting point of the operation of the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence so that the first segment is exclusive of the second segment;
- and
- controlling, by the processing circuit, at least one of the controller and the clock circuit to operate the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence at the shifted starting point.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions that cause a processing circuit to perform a method, wherein the processing circuit is coupled with a controller configured to operate a transceiver in a frequency range in accordance with a first frequency hopping sequence consisting of frequencies in a first segment of the frequency range and a second frequency hopping sequence consisting of frequencies in a second segment of the frequency range, wherein the first frequency hopping sequence and the second frequency hopping sequence are synchronized with a clock circuit, the method comprising:
- determining a time offset between an initial starting point of operation of a transceiver in accordance with a first frequency hopping sequence and a shifted starting point of the operation of the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence so that the first segment is exclusive of the second segment;
- and
- controlling at least one of the controller and the clock circuit to operate the transceiver in accordance with the first frequency hopping sequence at the shifted starting point.
