Slow frequency hopping patterns derived from polynomial residue class rings

Abstract

Frequency hopping is one of the common techniques for spreading the signal spectrum in digital data communication systems. The amount of frequency spread is far more than the minimum bandwidth necessary to transmit the digital data. This fact makes it feasible for many users to share a common channel. This paper is concerned with construction of new families of slow frequency hopping patterns derived from sequences over a given semilocal residue class polynomial ring which is given.
