ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for radio communications which uses frequency and time diversity oriented spread spectrum modulation includes adding an additional link depending on interference characteristics. A plurality of data packets may be communicated from a transmitter to a receiver where a first radio link is established by reserving a series of time slots. The radio link, for example, may be one out of every n time slots, where n>1. A second radio link may further be established on a different one out of every n time slots such that each of the plurality of data packets is transmitted over both the first and second radio links resulting in diversity such that the receiver receives each of the data packets twice. Each radio link uses a frequency hopping channel and for each data packet, transmission over the first link occurs on a different frequency than is used for transmission over the second link. The second link may be established in response to detection by the receiver of reception quality problems associated with the first link. Accordingly, the second link may be terminated in response to detection by the receiver of an absence of reception quality problems associated with the first link.
