Effect on the Air Interface
• Interference averaging
– Gain depends on transceiver distributionand frequency
• Frequency diversity– Gain depends on number of frequencies
and the bandwidth

Achievements
• More uniform speech quality• A more dependable and predictable radio environment
• Increased capacity (tighter frequency re-use enabled)

Performance of Frequency Hopping
• Hopping on many frequencies gives betterfrequency diversity and interference averaging.However the relative benefit by adding yetanother frequency will diminish.
• Hopping over a wide band decreases thecorrelation between the fading dips of differentfrequencies thus improving the frequencydiversity.
• A high traffic load will reduce the gain ofinterference averaging.
• Usage of DTX and dynamic power control willincrease the gain of interference averaging.

Hopping Sequences - Cyclic and Random
• Cyclic sequence (HSN = 0)
... , I4, I1, I2, I3, I4, I1, I2, I3, I4, I1, I2, ...
• A cyclic sequence is the best sequence for combatingconsecutive fading dips.
Copyright © 1999 by Ericsson Radio Systems AB2882-EN/LZT 123 4038 Rev C
• Random sequences (HSN = 1 - 63)... , I1, I4, I4, I3, I1, I2, I4, I1, I3, I3, I2, ...
• The period of a (pseudo) random sequence is 6 minutes long.
• Random sequences give better interference averaging (if the network is planned using frequency groups.)
• Different random sequences (different HSNs) should be assigned to nearby cells having the same frequencies.

MS Problems with Random FrequencyHopping?
• MS problem is of no concern any more!(Some MSs have had problems with random frequencyhopping (Siemens and Motorola, very old MS))

Orthogonal Sequences
• The transmitters in a channel group never use thesame frequency simultaneously.

Two Hopping Modes
• Baseband hopping (FHOP = BB)
• Synthesizer hopping (FHOP = SY)

• Baseband hopping : Each transmitter transmits on a fixed frequency.The bursts from the transceiver controller are routed to the differenttransmitters by a bus.
+ A narrow-band filter combiner can be used. To this combiner it ispossible to connect up to 16 TRXs without more than 3dB combinerloss.
- It is impossible to hop on more frequencies than there are TXs.

• Synthesizer hopping: The transmitters change frequency for every burst.
+ It is possible to hop on more frequencies than there are transmitters.
- Hybrid combiners must be used. When connecting many transmitters theloss will be big.

Parameter Summary
Main controlling parameters• HOP is the switch for turning frequency hopping on or off, defined
per channel group. It acts on all channels within the specifiedchannel group. SDCCHs as well as TCHs can hop. A BCCH willnot hop, even if it belongs to a channel group that is configured ashopping.
• HSN is the hopping sequence number, defined per channel group.This parameter specifies which hopping sequence to be used, andacts on all channels within the specified channel group. Alltimeslots in one channel group obtain the same HSN. HSN=0yields a cyclic sequence. HSN=1 to 63 yields (six minutes long)pseudo-random sequences.

Parameters
• FHOP selects which hopping method to be used, basebandhopping (FHOP=BB) or synthesizer hopping (FHOP=SY). Itis defined per transceiver group (normally one base stationis one transceiver group and one cell).
• COMB specifies which combiner type that has beenconnected, a wide-band hybrid combiner (COMB=HYB) ora narrow-band filter combiner (COMB=FLT). It is definedper transceiver group. If a filter combiner is connected, onlybaseband hopping can be used as hopping method.
