1. A method for generating random hopping patterns for a plurality of hop ports with at least one processor, comprising:

  • swapping at least one pair of hop port entities of the plurality at the lower layer of a channel tree if at least a first condition is met for a corresponding pair, thereby generating a higher layer of swapped pairs of hop port entities in the channel tree;

    swapping the swapped pairs of hop port entities at the higher layer if at least a second condition is met; and

    repeating the previous acts, thereby generating a random hopping pattern.
