  • Patent number: 11071003
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for wirelessly communicating between a host device and a client device in a radio frequency (RF) environment. In one embodiment, a wireless communication method for a host device in a RF environment may comprise: communicating wirelessly between the host device and a client device by way of a first RF channel; continuously scanning available RF channels of the RF environment; and in response to a first RF channel signal quality decreasing below a threshold signal quality, selecting one of the available RF channels having a signal quality greater than the threshold signal quality, and switching wireless communication between the client device and the host device from the first RF channel to the selected available RF channel. In this way, reducing interference with the RF environment while lowering a risk of disrupting the wireless communication between the host device and the client device can be achieved.
