1. A method comprising:
determining, by a first network device, a sequence of channels for transmission of data between the first network device and a second network device such that:
the sequence of channels comprises a subset of channels having a number of channels; and
each channel in the subset of channels is at least a channel threshold distance away from an adjacent channel in the subset of channels; and
transmitting the data between the first network device and the second network device using channel hopping according to the sequence of channels, wherein the number of channels or the channel threshold distance is based on a limit on retransmission attempts associated with the transmission of data between the first network device and the second network device.
