Abstract

In this paper, we study an approach for sharing channels to improve network utilization in packet-switched cellular networks. Our scheme exploits unused resources in neighboring cells without the need for global coordination. We formulate a minimax approach to Optimizing the allocation of channels in this sharing scheme. We develop a measurement-based distributed algorithm to achieve this objective and study its convergence. We illustrate, via simulation results, that the distributed channel sharing scheme performs significantly better than the fixed channel scheme over a wide variety of traffic conditions.
