The benefits of slow frequency hopping in GSM are frequency and interference diversity and result in better quality. Frequency diversity can easily be modeled in link level simulations, whereas the simulation of interference diversity is more advanced because different signal to interference ratios within one codeword have to be taken into account. In this paper the effects of interference diversity on the error probability are analyzed and a simple simulation model is derived
