Effects of channel history on choice of DCA algorithm within DECT
A. Law, Luis B. Lopes · 2002
The demand for mobile communications has increased rapidly over the last decade. Due to limited spectrum availability, many service providers are looking for ways of improving the resource efficiency. A popular method of improving the capacity of a network is to use a dynamic channel allocation (DCA) strategy. The Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications standard (DECT) uses a DCA strategy called least interfered channel (LIC). However the performance of the DCA algorithms can change considerably due to practical constraints such as number of transceivers at the base station. We compare the gains of two DCA algorithms, the second being autonomous reuse partitioning (ARP), for various environments in the form of grade of service and quality of service measures.
