Abstract
A control system for automated management of frequency-hopping in a radio network. The system includes a Wireless Network Manager (WNM) or Controller and a Wireless Control Agent (WCA), which control the distribution and maintenance of hopping patterns in the radio network. In a single cell network, the WNM and the WCA are included in a single base station. In a multiple cell network, the WNM is in a specific station on a LAN, and a WCA is located in each base station on the LAN. In each instance, the WNM is a centralized managing station and the WCA acts as a cell controller.
