Abstract:
The disclosure provides design of a frequency hopping sequence for an unlicensed IoT system operating in unlicensed spectrum. According to some embodiments, an apparatus for generating a frequency hopping sequence in an unlicensed Internet-of-Things (IoT) system includes baseband circuitry to generate a frequency hopping sequence by conducting a permutation operation based on a physical cell identifier (PCI) and a system frame number (SFN), and to select a channel within an unlicensed spectrum according to the frequency hopping sequence. In some embodiments, the input of the permutation operation is obtained from the SFN or from the SFN and the PCI. In some embodiments, the control of the permutation operation is a function of the PCI and/or the SFN. In some embodiments, the control of the permutation operation is generated using a pseudorandom number generator with the PCI as a seed.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein, for each of the two separate permutation operations, the one or more processors are further to obtain one of a most significant bit, a least significant bit, an odd bit and an even bit of the SFN as a first parameter, to generate a second parameter based on a function of the PCI and the SFN, and to conduct the permutation operation using the first parameter and the second parameter respectively as input and control of the permutation operation.
