The traffic channels with the same HSN hop over the same frequencies in the same order but are separated in time by a mobile allocation index offset (MAIO).
This table contains a list of ARFCNs that the traffic channels of that cell will hop through.
The MAIO gives the index into this list from which the first ARFCN will be picked by the cell to start the hopping sequence.
Every mobile station will be supplied with the MA Table and MAIO for a given dedicated connection.
Using the MA table and the MAIO, the mobile station will hop in the exact sequence as the cell in dedicated mode to achieve frequency diversity.
