Abstract
Due to the fast-growing number of cell-phone users, channel allocation scheme for
channel assignment plays an important role in cellular networks. Having known that for
downlink transmission the base-station aims to transmit signals over a specifi c channel to
different users, broadcasting enhancement gains momentum in cellular networks. Consider
a set-up in which the base-station is equipped with M time/frequency resources and M
clients are being served with their own rate requirements. Optimum solution in a degraded
broadcast channel is to send signals to all users over all channels. However, this enlarges the
codebook, which leads to an intricate coding/decoding system. Taking this into account,
the idea of grouping the clients into smaller subsets has been proposed in this research.
The required rate for each client should be satisfied in each subset, which determines the
size of the groups. As the highest gain in each subset is obtained by applying broadcasting
scenario, one can just focus on finding the best method of grouping; henceforth, each group
follows broadcasting scenario.
Similarly, the same scenario applies to uplink transmission in which clients transmit
signals to a single base station.
Intuitively, the optimum solution can be achieved using linear programming. However,
it turned out linear programming satisfi es the zero-one constraint which can be efficiently
solved by Hungarian method. It has been shown that this practical method conspicuously
outperforms the traditional frequency division method.
