    Appendix C - Configuring Hopping Frequencies and Operational Sequences Valid values: 1 to Number of Hopping Frequencies minus 1, provided it meets the GCD requirement as described above. It is not recommended to use spanning factors of 1 and N-1, as they result in hopping on consecutive channel (assuming that the available channels are consecutive).

    Operational Hopping Sequence Definition Using the Hopping Shift Parameter Operational Hopping Sequence Definition Using the Hopping Shift Parameter The Hopping Shift parameter is used to provide different operational hopping sequences when several co-located Access Units use the same set of hopping frequencies and the same scrambling method (and hence the same basic hopping sequence).

    Appendix C - Configuring Hopping Frequencies and Operational Sequences Enhanced Scrambling mode: In this mode the shift operation is performed on the channel indexes. The actual hopping channel is calculated by increasing the indexes of the basic hopping sequence by the value of the Hopping Shift. Note that the sequence is cyclic, meaning that adding 1 to the highest index in the sequence (Index=N where N is the number of channels in the sequence) will result in the first channel (Index=1).
