FREQUENCY HOPPING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H04W72/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: in one aspect, frequency hopping may be performed based on a cell identifier (ID) and system time information. In one design, user equipment (UE) may determine a cell ID of a cell and may obtain system time information for the cell. The UE may determine resources to be used for transmission with frequency hopping based on the cell ID and the system time information. In one design, the UE may initialise a PN generator in each radio communication frame with an initial value determined based on the cell ID and a system frame number (SFN) for the radio communication frame. The UE may determine the resources to be used for transmission based on a frequency hopping function, a mirroring function and a PN sequence from the PN generator. The UE may send a transmission on the resources to the cell.

EFFECT: providing frequency hopping in a wireless network in different operating scenarios.
