ABSTRACT:
A hybrid data frame is presented for a time division multiple access frequency hopping communications system. The frame includes uplink and downlink subframes, and each subframe includes a plurality of frequency hops. First frequency hops in each subframe have at least one time slot, and the first hops follow default non-adaptive frequency hopping patterns, such that unsynchronized communicating units can synchronize with the communications system during the first hops using the predetermined default pattern. The second frequency hop also includes at least one time slot, and employs an adaptive frequency hopping pattern. Once a communicating unit is synchronized to the communications system via the first frequency hop, it can be assigned to a time slot within the second hop and adaptive frequency hopping interference avoidance techniques can be implemented.
