Performance comparison of DCA call assignment algorithms within DECT
A. Law, Luis B. Lopes · 2002
Dynamic channel allocation (DCA) is increasingly being proposed and employed in various forms within cellular and cordless environments. DCA is attractive as it removes the complex reuse planning required for fixed channel allocation (FCA) systems. The performance of two distributed DCA algorithms, first available (FA) and least interfered channel (LIC) are compared in the form of grade of service (GOS) and quality of service (QOS) measurements. A DECT (Digital European Cordless Telecommunications) environment is used to examine their performance, with studies of the performance gains of multiple transceivers per base station, and the effect of various free channel levels.
