Abstract

A method and system are disclosed for shifting frequency subsets to avoid base station interference in a frequency hopping cordless telephone system. A base station communicates with the handsets using frequencies selected from active frequency subsets. Frequency subsets are shifted to avoid interference by selecting frequencies initially from a defined number of active frequency subsets where each of the active frequency subsets is used before repeating an active frequency subset. The number of active frequency subsets is then changed for a defined period of time to change the period with which the active frequency subsets are used. After the defined period of time, the number of active frequency subsets is returned to the defined number of active frequency subsets.
