Abstract :
Different dynamic channel allocation (DCA) strategies based on local signal strength measures are evaluated in terms of the degree of frequency reuse they can afford. Fixed and dynamic channel allocation schemes are compared by using a simulation model, which overcomes the limitations of models traditionally used in literature. Valuable results show the superiority of DCA schemes in various scenarios characterized by different patterns of traffic and propagation conditions
