Methods and Algorithms for Radio Channel Assignment

This book explores the various aspects of current research in channel radio assignment.The collection includes several chapters concerned with developing a sound theoretical framework for channel assignment. Also included are the modelling and efficient solution of network design problems, which are becoming increasingly important in wireless networks. This book illustrates a range of mathematical and computational tools including graph colouring, graph labelling, linear and nonlinear optimization, meta-heuristics, constraint satisfaction and multidisciplinary optimization.
