Hybrid channel assignment using dynamic resource sharing

Resource allocation in wireless networks needs to be adaptive in order to cope with non-uniform traffic variation on an hourly and daily basis. In all future systems, the use of dynamic and adaptive resource assignment will become a necessity in order to optimize the system capacity. In this context, the use of multi-agent systems represents a potential solution to helping the assignment process. In addition, communication between agents adds more information on the cell environment and reduces conflicts between neighboring base stations in order to allocate the same channel. In this paper, we propose a hybrid channel assignment with a dynamic sharing between the fixed and dynamic part of the resource common pool.
