Channel assignment problem in cellular networks: A reactive tabu search approach
Didem Gözüpek, Gaye Genc, Cem Ersoy · 2009
The channel assignment problem (CAP) in cellular networks is concerned with the allocation and reuse of the frequency spectrum to the base stations in such a way that both the interference constraints and the traffic requirements of the cells are met. In this paper, we apply a reactive tabu search based method to solve the CAP and compare this approach with the classical tabu search as well as genetic algorithm based approaches in the literature.
