Distributed dynamic channel allocation in mobile computing system

Abstract

Channel allocation problem is one of the most important issues in mobile computing networks. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a new distributed dynamic channel allocation algorithm. The proposed algorithm attempts to reuse channels in different cells to optimize the channel usage. It also assigns a large number of channels to the heavily loaded cells, and a few channels to the lightly loaded cells according to the traffic patterns of mobile computing network in real time. Co-channel interference is prevented in this algorithm. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is deadlock-free, interference-free, and achieves that maximum channel utilization
