A transceiver device (52 or 10) operates as a source of a data transmission in a communication system (50) capable of dynamically allocating spectrum for transmission of the data transmission between the transceiver device (52) and a second transceiver device (51). The transceiver device (10) includes a transmitter, a receiver coupled to the transmitter and a processor or controller (12) coupled to the transmitter and receiver. The transceiver device is programmed to monitor the spectrum (channels 1-13 of FIG. 3) to determine if a portion (channels 4-8 for example in time slot 8) of the spectrum is available. The transceiver determines what portion of the spectrum is desired for data transmission and then transmits (see time slots 11 and 13) the data transmission within a dynamically selected portion of the available spectrum.

[ What is claimed is:] [5.]5. In a communication system having a transceiver acting as a master and a plurality of communication devices each potentially acting as slaves to the master, a method of dynamically allocating spectrum within a frequency band comprising the steps at the master of:polling a slave;upon polling, receiving a communication request from the slave to communicate with the master on a high-speed link on a dynamically selected portion of the spectrum selected by the slave;monitoring the selected portion of the spectrum selected by the slave by scanning the selected portion of the spectrum of the frequency band and acknowledging the request of the slave if the selected portion is acceptable, wherein the selected portion is acceptable when the selected portion is free from interference from any source;monitoring a remaining portion of the spectrum by scanning the remaining portion of the spectrum of the frequency band and selecting a second selected portion of the spectrum selected by the master in the event the selected portion of the spectrum selected by the slave is unacceptable, wherein the selected portion of the spectrum selected by the slave is unacceptable when it contains interference from any source; andreceiving an acknowledgement from the slave accepting the assignment of the spectrum selected by either the slave or the master and receiving the data on a high speed channel utilizing the selected portion of the spectrum.
