Abstract

A method for forming channelized groups in a wireless communication network having a plurality of nodes. At least one node in the network is assigned to a first channel that is associated with a channelized group having a first set of nodes. The method determines whether there is contention between the at least one node and the first set of nodes. In addition, the method includes switching the at least one node from the first channel to a second channel based on the contention determination.
