Radar Frequency Assignment in Mobile Radar Units

This paper presents a case study based on a radar interference control problem using frequency assignment as the control mechanism. The results suggest that locally autonomous agents will generally not converge to an acceptable solution and a central control using a master will converge, but at a higher cost. These results drive the need for negotiation based autonomy with some form of arbitration to work on goals common to system agents.
