This chapter aims to provide a detailed survey of existing graph models and algorithms for important problems that arise in different areas of wireless telecommunication. In particular, applications of graph optimization problems such as minimum dominating set, minimum vertex coloring and maximum clique in multihop wireless networks are discussed. Different forms of graph domination have been used extensively to model clustering in wireless ad hoc networks.

Title: frequency assignment problem with net filter discrimination constraints.

Abstract: Managing radio spectrum resources is a crucial issue. The frequency assignment problem (FAP) basically aims to allocate, in an efficient manner, limited number of frequencies to communication links. Geographically close links, however, cause interference, which complicates the assignment, imposing frequency separation constraints. The FAP is closely related to the graph-coloring problem and it is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we propose to incorporate the randomization into greedy and fast heuristics. As far as being implemented, the proposed algorithms are very straight forward and are without system parameters that need tuned. The proposed algorithms significantly improve, quickly and effectively, the solutions obtained by greedy algorithms in terms of the number of assigned frequencies and the range. The enhanced versions of proposed algorithms perform close to the lower bounds while running for a reasonable duration. Another novelty of our study is its consideration of the net filter discrimination effects in the communication model. Performance analysis is done by synthetic and measured data, where the measurement data includes the effect of the real 3-dimensional (3D) geographical features in the Daejeon region in Korea. In both cases, we observe a significant improvement by employing randomized heuristics.

The term frequency assignment has been used to describe many types of problems which, quite often, have different modeling needs and objectives. These problems include:

Planning models for permanent spectrum allocation, licensing, and regulation which maximize utilization of all radio spectra [94].

Planning models for network design within a given allocation to include; aeronautical mobile, land mobile, maritime mobile, broadcast, land fixed (point-to-point) and satellite.

On-line algorithms for dynamically assigning frequencies to users within an established network. Of special interest here are land cellular mobile systems, where an enormous amount of research has been done. A paper by Katzela and Naghshineh [55] contains nearly 100 references to works just in cellular dynamic channel assignment.

  1. Frequency Assignment Problem

    This formulation, where adjacent vertices cannot share the same frequency is termed co-channel constrained and was shown by B.H. Metzger [] to be equivalent to the well-studied graph coloring problem.Typically, the objective is to find an assignment of frequencies (colors) to the transmitters (vertices) that minimizes the number of frequencies (colors) used.

  2. PDF The Frequency Assignment Problem

    The Frequency Assignment Problem Angela Erika Koller Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2004 Abstract This thesis examines a wide collection of frequency assignment problems. One of the largest topics in this thesis is that of L(2,1)-labellings of outerplanar graphs.

  3. PDF Models and solution techniques for frequency assignment problems

    broadcasting, and most recently wireless LANs contributed to the literature on frequency assignment in recent years. This paper is not the first survey on the frequency assignment problem. Already Hale (1980) presented an overview of the frequency planning problems of that time, with a spe-cial focus on modeling the problems.

  4. Frequency assignment: Theory and applications

    The frequency constrained approach should be avoided if distance separation is employed to mitigate interference. A restricted class of graphs, called disk graphs, plays a central role in frequency-distance constrained problems. We introduce two generalizations of chromatic number and show that many frequency assignment problems are equivalent ...

  6. Solving the frequency assignment problem by using meta-heuristic

    Frequency assignment, as a subclass of general assignment problem, is a non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) optimization problem. Main difficulty in these types of problems is the time required to find an optimum solution, since the solution time increases exponentially as the size of the problem grows. To solve the problem in a limited computation time, meta-heuristic methods are ...

  7. The dynamic frequency assignment problem

    In this paper, we consider a frequency assignment problem occurring in a military context. This problem was submitted by the CELAR (Centre ELectronique de L'ARmement) and concerns the assignment of frequencies to Hertzian communications in the course of a military deployment. The main originality of the problem pertains to its dynamic dimension.

  8. Frequency Assignment Problem

    Frequency assignment problems are typically modeled in graph theoretical terms. That is, a graph G(V, E) is considered with vertices V (G) = {v 1, …, v n} and edges E(G).Each vertex in V(G) represents a transmitter and two vertices (v i, v j) are adjacent (have an edge between them) if the corresponding transmitters are not permitted to share the same frequency.

    4 Frequency Assignment Problem size problems [1]. A potential reduction method [18] has also been developed that utilizes the transformation xif = 2xif − 1, that is, xif ∈ {−1,+1}. As a result, any feasible solution to the transformed IPs must satisfy x x = mn where x is a vector of xif in Zmn+. The polyhedron P formed from the linear ...

    The problem of assigning channels to TRXs while taking additional require-ments into account is called the Frequency Assignment Problem (FAP). Our optimization goal is to minimize the sum of all co- and adjacent channel inter-ferences, but other objectives are possible. In the early nineties, frequency planning in GSM networks was often performed

  12. Bounds for the frequency assignment problem

    The problem of assigning radio frequencies to a set of transmitters in a region is related to the theory of vertex colourings of graphs. Real frequency assignment problems often deal with a large number of transmitters. Exact methods of solution may be impracticable and heuristic methods must be used. Lower bounds for the frequency assignment ...

  15. [1605.04379] Frequency Assignment Problem with Net Filter

    The frequency assignment problem (FAP) basically aims to allocate, in an efficient manner, limited number of frequencies to communication links. Geographically close links, however, cause interference, which complicates the assignment, imposing frequency separation constraints. The FAP is closely related to the graph-coloring problem and it is ...

    A systematic method of determining carrier frequency assignment is proposed to minimize the cochannel interference in satellite communication systems. For the mathematical treatment of the problem, discrete positioning of carriers is introduced to avoid the nonlinear expression inherent in interference evaluation. The proposed method converts this nonlinear problem into the well-known ...
