本次奇数编号的联合信道估计窗的窗口传输所占用的频率为M，偶数编号的联合信道估计窗的窗口传输所占用的频率为N，则下一次的奇数编号的联合信道估计窗的窗口传输所占用的频率为P＝M+X，再下一次奇数编号的联合信道估计窗的窗口传输所占用的频率又跳回M。The frequency occupied by the window transmission of the odd-numbered joint channel estimation window this time is M, and the frequency occupied by the window transmission of the even-numbered joint channel estimation window is N, then the next window transmission of the odd-numbered joint channel estimation window The occupied frequency is P=M+X, and the frequency occupied by the window transmission of the next odd-numbered joint channel estimation window jumps back to M again.

在每次的联合信道估计窗的窗口传输结束后，终端设备根据联合信道估计窗的窗口对应的不同的频率偏移量进行跳频，并在跳频后所占用的频率上进行下一次传输。After each window transmission of the joint channel estimation window ends, the terminal device performs frequency hopping according to different frequency offsets corresponding to the window of the joint channel estimation window, and performs the next transmission on the frequency occupied after the frequency hopping.
需要说明的是，在完成调频后进行的传输仍然遵循在每个联合信道估计窗的窗口内采用相同的频率资源和预编码方式进行传输的原则。It should be noted that the transmission performed after the frequency modulation is completed still follows the principle of using the same frequency resource and precoding method for transmission within the window of each joint channel estimation window.
