A communications system includes a first and second communication unit coupled together via a radio communications link. In one embodiment, the communications system takes the form of a frequency hopped, spread spectrum digital cordless telephone, where the first unit is a base unit and the second unit is the remote unit. The first and second communication units are respectively set to transmit and receive communication over a first radio frequency during a first time frame, select a second radio frequency during the first time frame, and set to respectively receive and transmit communication over the second radio frequency during a second time frame.

Method and apparatus for frequency hopping in a spread spectrum digital cordless telephone system

In one aspect of the present invention, a method and apparatus are provided. The method includes detecting a synchronization signal within a plurality of channels. The method includes selecting a subset of the plurality of channels, wherein the subset includes more than one channel. The method further includes determining if the synchronization signal exists on at least one of the subset of channels and initiating communications in response to determining that the synchronization signal exists on at least one of the subset of channels.
