Channel Allocation

Channel Allocation Schemes deal with the following:

  • The allocation of channels to cells within a cellular network
  • Allocation of bandwidth to base stations access points & terminal equipment (nodes)
  • Users within a channel can use the available channels to communicate with people within them
  • Trying to be efficient in system spectral terms 

Kinds of allocation Scheme

  • Fixed Channel Allocation,
  • Dynamic Channel Allocation and
  • Hybrid Channel Allocation which is a combination of the first two methods.

System spectral efficiency

  • Goal of an allocation scheme
  • Measured in (bit/s)/Hz per unit area
  • Measured in  (bit/s)/Hz per cell
  • Measured in (bit/s)/Hz per site
  • Measure of the quantity of users or services that can be simultaneously supported by a limited radio frequency bandwidth in a defined geographic area.
