A hybrid channel assignment scheme in cellular-structured mobile communications networks.

Abstract

The simultaneous use of fixed and dynamic channel assignment schemes, in the same cellular structured mobile communications network, is called a hybrid channel assignment scheme. Detailed performance evaluations of the fixed vs. the dynamic channel assignment schemes have been published by various authors. In this thesis, the performance of the hybrid channel assignment scheme, under various loading conditions is studied, by using simulation results of a cellular mobile communications system that has forty cells. A conclusion is reached as to when it is best to use hybrid or fixed channel assignment schemes.
