چکیده

We study a continuous version of the capacity and flow assignment problem (CFA) where the design cost is combined with an average delay measure to yield a non convex objective function coupled with multicommodity flow constraints. A separable convexification of each arc cost function is proposed to obtain approximate feasible solutions within easily computable gaps from optimality. On the other hand, DC (difference of convex functions) programming can be used to compute accurate upper bounds and reduce the gap. The technique is shown to be effective when topology is assumed fixed and capacity expansion on some arcs is considered. Résumé. On étudie ici une version continue du problème de dimensionnement et routage dans un réseau de communications, dans lequel les coûts de conception sont combinés aux mesures de délai moyen d’acheminement, engendrant un problème de multiflots avec une fonction objectif non convexe. On propose un encadrement de la valeur optimale par convexification séparable sur les arcs, d’une part, et par calcul d’optima locaux issus d’un modèle DC (différence de fonctions convexes) des fonctions de coût. Cette dernière technique permet de réduire la distance à la valeur optimale et on illustre son efficacité sur des problèmes d’expansion de capacités.

A Useful Metaheuristic for Dynamic Channel Assignment in Mobile Cellular Systems

The prime objective of a Channel Assignment Problem (CAP) is to assign appropriate number of required channels to each cell in a way to achieve both efficient frequency spectrum utilization and minimization of interference effects (by satisfying a number of channel reuse constraints). Dynamic Channel Assignment (DCA) assigns the channels to the cells dynamically according to traffic demand, and...

Achievable performance of dynamic channel assignment schemes under varying reuse constraints

We introduce a reward paradigm to derive novel bounds for the performance of dynamic channel assignment (DCA) schemes. In the case of uniform reuse, our bounds closely approach the performance of maximum packing (MP), which is an idealized DCA scheme. This suggests not only that the bounds are extremely tight, but also that no DCA scheme, however sophisticated, will be able to achieve significa...

Interference analysis of and dynamic channel assignment algorithms in TD–CDMA/TDD systems

The radio frequency spectrum for commercial wireless communications has become an expensive commodity. Consequently, radio access techniques are required which enable the efficient exploitation of these resources. This, however, is a difficult task due to an increasing diversity of wireless services. Hence, in order to achieve acceptable spectrum efficiency a flexible air– interface is required...
