This seems to be the case: the HSN and MAIO are transmitted in the "Channel 
Description" IE (04.08/10.5.2.5)
which is included in the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND frame (04.08/9.1.2). In addition 
the "Frequency List" (whatever
that is) and "Mobile Allocation" IE (10.5.2.21) are present in the ASSIGNMENT 
COMMAND, which is all there is to
know about the hopping.

This is something a USRP1 should be capable to do:
* listen on the CCCH for IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT frames
* tune to the SDCCH+SACCH and fetch some frames
(now Kc would be broken, the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND message would be decrypted)
* follow the hopping sequence of the TCH

The USRP1 just needs to learn to change frequencies each TDMA frame.

Problem: if a new mobile allocation is handed to the MS on the CCH of the TCH, 
we would not be able to
sniff it. That is for the first 10 seconds we need for the lookup.
