Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for generating a frequency hopping arrangement are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes determining a starting frequency channel for a frequency hopping arrangement to be used in a communication session by a group of devices; calculating a frequency channel step value based at least in part on a predetermined required minimum number of frequency channels; and selecting the frequency channel values to be used in the communication session by iterating through frequency channel values for the useable frequency channels at intervals of a random frequency channel selection offset value until a number of frequency channel values equal to the frequency channel step value are selected.
