Efficient Use of 'White Spaces' in the UHF Band (470-862 MHz) Employing Genetic Algorithms

摘要

The present work proposes a Genetic Algorithm based channel allocation scheme that allocates the Digital Dividend spectrum (790-862 MHz) to the cells of a mobile network taking into account the interference caused by neighboring TV broadcasters. The channel allocation is optimal in the sense that it maximizes frequency utilization and at the same time assures an acceptable level of fairness among the network cells.
