Abstract
A method of communicating between two or more radios each capable of transmitting and receiving signals between one another on two or more radio channels wherein the radios hop from channel to channel in a pseudo-random sequence. The method comprises establishing hop synchronization between the radios utilizing a first cycle and operating the radios in a communication mode utilizing a second cycle. The first cycle is shorter than the second cycle so as to facilitate rapid synchronization while preserving the benefits and security obtained through the use of longer cycle length during communication mode.
