ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a frequency hopping method for switching a hopping carrier frequency in a predetermined hopping pattern based on a hopping carrier table, in which there is provided intermittent receiving means for starting carrier frequency designating means every constant cycle to give a command for receiving the control channels of opposed radio base stations. In the case in which a hopping order in a hopping carrier table is skipped by n to carry out switching every intermittent receiving cycle in an intermittent receiving operation, an intermittent receiving cycle is set in such a manner that the n and a total number m of hopping carrier frequencies in the hopping carrier table have a prime relationship with each other.Moreover, the electric field strength of a carrier frequency in a spare carrier list is measured by the intermittent receiving operation and an interference counter of a spare carrier is increased or decreased corresponding to a frequency at which the electric field strength exceeds a predetermined threshold, and a carrier frequency deleted from a hopping pattern is set to have the worst value as the initialized value of the interference counter. A standby is maintained in a state of a non-exchange until the frequency at which an electric field strength measured for the frequency exceeds a threshold is sufficiently reduced, and the same frequency is recycled as an exchangeable carrier frequency after sufficiently confirming that a communication can be carried out.
