| 1. A system comprising a set of piconets, wherein:
each piconet in the set of piconets corresponds to a unique code compared to the other piconets in the set of piconets, wherein
each unique code delineates a sequence of bands over a code length; and
each piconet utilizes bands according to the corresponding unique code such that for a duration corresponding to the code
length, the maximum number of dwell times that any two piconets utilize a band together during the duration is the code length
divided by the number of bands.
