POCA: pattern-oriented channel assignment scheme for wireless cellular networks

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a new decentralized dynamic channel allocation scheme which uses a 'clustering' concept to allocate channels efficiently. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs better than fixed channel assignment and some other dynamic channel allocation schemes under low and moderate traffic load conditions.
