Abstract: | Transmitter power control is an effective technique to reduce co-channel interference and increase system capacity for cellular radio networks. Dynamic channel assignment can also be used to improve spectrum efficiency and thus increases the system capacity. This paper investigates channel assignment algorithms which combine dynamic channel assignment with signal-to-interference ratio balanced power control and proposes a new algorithm. Simulation results show that this new scheme can greatly reduce the channel reassignment rate and still maintain satisfactory performance. It may thus be used as an effective channel assignment scheme in cellular mobile systems. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
