Abstract
A number of RPs stagger the times in which they begin searching for available channels. In a preferred method, one of a plurality of RPs in a UPCS system is selected to have a first start time. The system determines which RPs in the system can "see" the selected RP. Each of these RPs is given a unique stagger start time. This process may be repeated until each RP in the system is assigned a stagger start time. Alternatively, if there are fewer RPs in the system than there are available stagger start times, each RP may be selected to have a unique stagger start time.
