Abstract

A method and apparatus for establishing frequency assignments for a fixed radio communication unit of plural fixed radio communication units coupled via a controller. A controller functions to have the communication unit measure transmitted signal strengths, and to request the other fixed radio communication units to transmit at assigned frequencies. The system functions to identify and select one (or more) of the frequencies measured having the lowest signal strength and adjacent channel and/or co-channel interference characteristics beneath set threshold level(s). The system also operates to repeat the process for each fixed radio communication unit, until all are assigned frequencies.
