Abstract

This paper investigates two channel assignment schemes that select channels based on optimizing the coverage area supported by a multicasting terrestrial network. It considers the interaction and coexistence of the channel assignment schemes when they are used together in the same area and with the same spectrum. The coexisting scenario here is based on different base stations in the same service area, with performance assessed in terms of the area of coverage and available link SINR. It is found that it is good to combine different schemes together because the mixed schemes can exploit the best features of each individual scheme.
