Abstract :
An optimisation technique for fixed channel allocation (FCA) schemes proposed. This mechanism can respond to the variations in traffic to reassign channels to cells. Traffic variability can be automatically adapted after applying this mechanism to FCA schemes. It is unnecessary to handoff a call when its allocated channel is reassigned to other cells. Moreover, freedom from deadlock and starvation is ensured. Simulation results demonstrate that this mechanism enhances the traffic-carrying capacity of FCA schemes with the flexibility and adaptability to handle variations in traffic
