First generation macrocellular systems typically use fixed channel assignment (FCA), where disjoint subsets of the available channels are permanently allocated to the cells in advance according to their estimated traffic loads. The cells are arranged in tessellating reuse clusters whose size is determined by the co-channel reuse constraint. For example, the North American AMPS system typically uses a 7-cell reuse cluster with 120° sectoring. The 12.5 MHz bandwidth allocation for AMPS can support a total of 416 two-way channels, 21 of which are control channels (one for each sector in a cluster), leaving a total of 395 traffic channels. This yields an allocation of 56 channels/cell with uniform FCA.

Channel Allocation Problem in Computer Network

Channel allocation is a process in which a single channel is divided and allotted to multiple users in order to carry user specific tasks. There are user’s quantity may vary every time the process takes place. If there are N number of users and channel is divided into N equal-sized sub channels, Each user is assigned one portion. If the number of users are small and don’t vary at times, then Frequency Division Multiplexing can be used as it is a simple and efficient channel bandwidth allocating technique. 

Channel allocation problem can be solved by two schemes: Static Channel Allocation in LANs and MANs, and Dynamic Channel Allocation. 

the channel assignment problem

These are explained as following below. 

1. Static Channel Allocation in LANs and MANs:   It is the classical or traditional approach of allocating a single channel among multiple competing users using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) . if there are N users, the frequency channel is divided into N equal sized portions (bandwidth), each user being assigned one portion. since each user has a private frequency band, there is no interference between users. 

However, it is not suitable in case of a large number of users with variable bandwidth requirements. It is not efficient to divide into fixed number of chunks. 

2. Dynamic Channel Allocation:  

In dynamic channel allocation scheme, frequency bands are not permanently assigned to the users. Instead channels are allotted to users dynamically as needed, from a central pool. The allocation is done considering a number of parameters so that transmission interference is minimized.

This allocation scheme optimises bandwidth usage and results is faster transmissions.

Dynamic channel allocation is further divided into:

  • Centralised Allocation
  • Distributed Allocation  

Possible assumptions include: 

Station Model: 

Assumes that each of N stations independently produce frames. The probability of producing a packet in the interval IDt where I is the constant arrival rate of new frames. 

Single Channel Assumption: 

In this allocation all stations are equivalent and can send and receive on that channel. 

Collision Assumption: 

If two frames overlap in time-wise, then that’s collision. Any collision is an error, and both frames must re transmitted. Collisions are only possible error. 

Time can be divided into Slotted or Continuous. 

Stations can sense a channel is busy before they try it.  Protocol Assumption:    

  • N independent stations.
  • A station is blocked until its generated frame is transmitted.
  • probability of a frame being generated in a period of length Dt is IDt where I is the arrival rate of frames.
  • Only a single Channel available.
  • Time can be either: Continuous or slotted.
  • Carrier Sense: A station can sense if a channel is already busy before transmission.
  • No Carrier Sense: Time out used to sense loss data.

Channel conveyance and flood risk: Are current models missing the mark?

by Geological Society of America

flood

River floods are environmental hazards that can have devastating effects on human life, agriculture, and infrastructure. Hydrologic models are used to map flood hazards to better understand risk, dictate insurance costs, and inform land-use planning. However, new research being presented Wednesday at the Geological Society of America's GSA Connects 2024 meeting suggests that these models may be missing a key variable that could underestimate risk.

Channel conveyance—or the volume of water a river channel can hold in its banks—is calculated by measuring the depth and width of a river channel. Most hydrologic models assume that channel conveyance is constant, but this is based on periodic measurements that can be taken decades apart.

Brooke Santos, the presenter, questioned the consistency of channel conveyance and worked with the Yanites' Research Group at Indiana University (IU) to better understand the relationship between channel conveyance and flood hazards.

The team collected aerial images and used structure from motion photogrammetry to make 3D reconstructions of river landscapes before, immediately after, and six years following Typhoon Morakot, Taiwan's deadliest recorded typhoon. Santos measured channels at each interval and identified up to 10 m of sediment deposition in rivers immediately following the typhoon.

"There's a thought that flooding incises, or removes, the sediment in a channel, but we're seeing that floods actually deposit a significant amount of sediment into these channels," says Santos. "This increased sediment will impact channel conveyance because it changes the river's depth."

Santos then used the reconstructions as a base for hydrologic models to create maps of flood risks for each interval at varying flood intensities. She found that the landscapes following Typhoon Morakot had a greater flood area, and these results suggest that changes in channel conveyance can result in an increased area of hazard.

Although this research was conducted in Taiwan, Santos notes that their results can be applicable to many areas as changes in channel conveyance have been measured globally.

"Debris flows, earthquakes, large precipitation events, and other processes that result in an influx of sediment into a river system can change channel conveyance and impact flood hazards," according to Santos.

"It's important to include these changes in our models, especially as climate change can increase the frequency and severity of flooding."
