Six types of spreading and hopping methods are included, a method of controlling spreading and hopping depending on channel states, and a method of determining whether radio resources, consisting of subcarriers and orthogonal codewords, are allocated in a hopping manner according to the quality of service in the OFCHM communication method based OFDM.

Orthogonal frequency and code hopping multiplexing communications method

An orthogonal resource block hopping multiplexing (ORBHM) method and apparatus in a wired/wireless communication system in which a plurality of communication channels coexist in a single medium. The orthogonal resource block hopping multiplexing (ORBHM) communication system consists of a first communication station and a plurality of second communication stations. It uses a hopping sequence of basic orthogonal resource blocks for transmission from a first communication station to a second communication station. A basic orthogonal resource block is a part of the given orthogonal resource and orthogonal to another basic orthogonal resource block. The QRBHM uses a statistical multiplexing concept in multiplexing and transmitting messages to a plurality of second communication station by assigning basic orthogonal resource blocks every time slot in a hopping manner based on hopping patterns determined at the initial setup stage of a call or a session.
