A Per-Packet Based Channel Allocation Strategy: Preliminary Study

This work presents preliminary observations of a dynamic Per-Packet based Channel Allocation strategy, to be applied in multiple channels wireless networks in order to achieve advancements both in link connectivity speed and system QoS. The analyzed system model presents quite restrictive assumptions in order to simplify the complexity of an actual network and to just show the idea and give preliminary results regarding possible performance. Figures of merit considered are packet drop probability D and the average number of used channels per non dropped activity U . The obtained results show a higher system efficiency in the resource use in comparison to static channel allocation solutions; good performances, really outperforming classical not cooperative schemes, may be obtained by our channel allocation algorithm
