Improving the capacity in wireless networks through integrated channel base station and power assignment

We propose a joint resource allocation algorithm (JRAA) that tries to optimise the channel base station and power assignment in a wireless network so minimising the number of channels needed to accommodate all the users in the system. We compare the performance of the JRAA, in terms of the achievable traffic capacity, with the corresponding performance of fixed and dynamic channel assignment strategies, for both the forward (downstream) and reverse (upstream) connections, and we verify the improvement of the system capacity that can be achieved by the integration of the channel base station and power assignment. Finally several versions of the two-way channel assignment problem are studied and evaluated.
