Optimization of Quality of Service Parameters for Dynamic Channel Allocation Scheme for Cellular Networks using Genetic Algorithim

As the spectrum for wireless transmission gets crowded due to the increase in the users andapplications, the efficient use of the spectrum is a major challenge in today’s world. A major affectingfactor is the inefficient usage of the frequency bands. Interference in the neighboring cells affects thereuse of the frequency bands. In this paper, some of the quality of service parameters such as residualbandwidth, number of users, duration of calls, frequency of calls and priority are considered. Thispaper presents work based on the optimization of dynamic channel allocation using genetic algorithm(GA). This attempts to allocate the channel to users such that overall congestion in the network isminimized by reusing already allocated frequencies. The working of Genetic Algorithm which isused in the optimization procedure is also explained. The optimized channel is then comparedwith a non-optimized channel to check the efficiency of the genetic algorithm.
