This invention provides a dynamic frequency hopping system that utilizes information from multiple base stations. The system assigns frequency hopping patterns based on current interference and traffic environments to avoid interference thus gaining the benefits of interference averaging and interference avoidance. The system imposes less stringent measurement requirements on terminals (wireless mobile devices) because many measurement requirements are replaced by generating estimates based on measurement data received from other base stations within a base station neighborhood. The system may continuously verify that the frequency hopping patterns assigned to the links of the system optimizes system performance. The system compares system performance of possible frequency hopping patterns against currently assigned frequency hopping pattern to optimize system performance. When a request for a link is received, a similar process as above is performed where the request is granted/denied/delayed based on system optimization requirements. In this way, the frequency hopping patterns of the links of the system may be assigned so that an optimum system performance may be obtained.

1. A method for assigning frequency hopping patterns in a communication system 1, comprising:identifying available frequencies for one or more links based on information received from one or more base stations in base station neighborhoods of base stations servicing the links; and assigning a portion of the available frequencies to form frequency hopping patterns for the links based on system performance parameters.
