Abstract

An electronic device that communicates with a second electronic device using adaptive frequency hopping across different spectral bands is described. An integrated circuit in the electronic device includes processing logic that determines an adaptive spectral map that specifies channels across multiple spectral bands. During communication with a second electronic device that includes a second integrated circuit using a communication protocol (such as Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy), the integrated circuit selects channels in the adaptive spectral map, where selection can be based on a predefined frequency-hopping sequence.
