Abstract
A system and method of flexible channel allocation in an ultra wideband frequency hopping communication system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes communicating radio signals through rapidly switching among a band groupaccording to a hopping pattern. The method also includes scanning the ultra wideband spectra to determine the band groupbased on the hopping pattern of the radio signals. In another embodiment, a method includes scanning ultra wideband spectra to eliminate any frequency band of the ultra wideband spectra from a list of available frequency bands when the any frequency band is currently used, selecting a band group in combination of two or more frequency bands to communicate radio signals with an optimal transmission power and/or maximum range, and communicating the radio signals through rapidly switching among the band group.
