Abstract:
-
The paper describes an adaptive channel
allocation, ACA, algorithm designed
for an analog cellular system like TACS. The incentive to use
more advanced radio resource allocation algorithms can be to
eliminate frequency planning, to increase the capacity and
improve the quality of the system.
Specific to TACS is that
measurements only are available in the uplink. Based on these
limited measurements the radio resource allocation algorithm
has to make decisions which affects both the uplink and the
downlink.
The ACA algorithm is divided into two parts, a
slow ACA and a fast ACA part. The slow ACA part finds a
set of channels for each base station based on measurements
taken over a long time period, i.e, manual frequency planning
is eliminated or at least reduced. The fast ACA part makes the
actual channel assignment to the arriving calls using the set of
channels provided by the slow ACA part.
The performance of
the slow and fast ACA are estimated by system simulations.
The results indicate that the fast ACA increases the quality
in the system which can be used to reduce the cluster size
from 21 to 12 and thereby increase the capacity.
The simulations also indicate that the slow ACA finds a reasonably
good frequency plan. Some capacity is lost due to the fact that only
uplink measurements are available.
