Abstract

A device operated in a network using a channel hopping communication protocol may select a channel for each transmission by first generating and storing a sequence of pseudo-random index numbers. A list of good channels is selected from a plurality of channels. For each channel hop, one of the good channels is selected from the list of good channels for use by a transceiver in the device by using an index number selected from the sequence of pseudo-random index numbers. The list of good channels may be revised periodically and channels may be selected from the list of good channels for use by the transceiver without revising the sequence of pseudo-random index numbers.
