Abstract

Now a days, mobile users are growing rapidly and the available frequency spectrum is limited. Therefore the available spectrum must be efficiently utilized. In response a large number of channel assignment and allocation policies have been proposed. Mostly Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) has become an important subject of research and development for cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a distributed dynamic channel allocation (DDCA) algorithm for originating calls. This algorithm is executed at each base station and to allocate the channel to mobile station, base station communicates with each other. In DDCA, the total number of channels is divided into three groups. Any cell in the cluster can acquire the channel group as long as no one of its adjacent cells is holding the same group. Due to this the co-channel interference is avoided. The result show blocking rate of distributed dynamic channel allocation is reduced as compared to dynamic channel allocation algorithm with non-uniform traffic distribution
