How does frequency hopping affect security precautions, if it all.? How does frequency hopping affect security precautions, if it all.? Solution Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transmission is the repeated switching of frequencies during radio transmission to reduce interference and avoid interception. It is useful to counter eavesdropping, or to obstruct jamming of telecommunications. And it can minimize the effects of unintentional interference. In FHSS, the transmitter hops between available narrowband frequencies within a specified broad channel in a pseudo-random sequence known to both sender and receiver. A short burst of data is transmitted on the current narrowband channel, then transmitter and receiver tune to the next frequency in the sequence for the next burst of data. In most systems, the transmitter will hop to a new frequency more than twice per second. Because no channel is used for long, and the odds of any other transmitter being on the same channel at the same time are low, FHSS is often used as a method to allow multiple transmitter and receiver pairs to operate in the same space on the same broad channel at the same time. Frequency hopping serves three major purpose in GSM 1) FREQUECY RESUSE AND TO AVOID CO-CHANNEL INTERFERENCE 2) INCREASES THE CHANNEL CAPACITY OF LIMITED GSM CHANNELS 3) DECREASES MULTIPATH INTERFERENCE OF RADIO SIGNAL..
