1. A method comprising:
establishing a frequency-hopping connection link with a network device;
measuring channel conditions in at least a portion of frequency channels for determining whether a non-frequency-hopping connection link is available based on measured conditions;
receiving via said frequency-hopping connection link an indication regarding said determining;
establishing the non-frequency-hopping connection link if said indication indicating that the non-frequency-hopping connection link is available; and
maintaining the frequency-hopping connection link if said indication indicating that the non-frequency-hopping connection link is unavailable.
