Channel Allocation Schemes

Channel allocation schemes are used to allocate bandwidth and communication channels to network infrastructure. The objective is to maximize spectral efficiency while avoiding interference between nearby cells. There are two allocation strategies: fixed channel allocation which is manually assigned, and dynamic allocation which allows channels to be requested as needed. INTELSAT is an intergovernmental organization that operates a global satellite system to provide international telecommunications. It was founded in 1964 and currently has over 140 member countries. INTELSAT's satellites are in geostationary orbit and provide coverage across ocean regions to enable transoceanic communication routes. Satellite capacity and design lifetime has increased with each new series launched.

Channel allocation schemes

In radio resource management for wireless and cellular network, channel allocation schemes
are required to allocate bandwidth and communication channels to base stations, access
points and terminal equipment.
The objective is to achieve maximum system spectral efficiency in bit/s/Hz/site by means of
frequency reuse, but still assure a certain grade of service by avoiding co-channel interference
and adjacent channel interference among nearby cells or networks that share the bandwidth.
There are two types of strategies that are followed:-
 Fixed: FCA, fixed channel allocation: Manually assigned by the network operator
 Dynamic:
 DCA, dynamic channel allocation,
 DFS, dynamic frequency selection
 Spread spectrum
FCA
In Fixed Channel Allocation or Fixed Channel Assignment (FCA) each cell is given a
predetermined set of frequency channels. FCA requires manual frequency planning, which is
an arduous task in TDMA and FDMA based systems, since such systems are highly sensitive
to cochannel interference from nearby cells that are reusing the same channel. This results in
traffic congestion and some calls being lost when traffic gets heavy in some cells, and idle
capacity in other cells.
DCA and DFS:

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) may be applied in wireless networks with several adjacent
non-centrally controlled access points. A more efficient way of channel allocation would be
Dynamic Channel Allocation or Dynamic Channel Assignment (DCA) in which voice channel
are not allocated to cell permanently, instead for every call request base station request
channel from MSC.
INTELSAT Series
INTELSAT stands for International Telecommunications Satellite. The organization was
created in 1964 and currently has over 140 member countries and more than 40 investing
entities.
In July 2001 INTELSAT became a private company and in May 2002 the company began
providing end-to-end solutions through a network of teleports, leased fiber, and points of
presence (PoPs) around the globe.
Starting with the Early Bird satellite in 1965, a succession of satellites has been launched at
intervals of a few years. Figure illustrates the evolution of some of the INTELSAT satellites. As
the capacity, in terms of number of voice channels, increased dramatically with each
succeeding launch, as well as the design lifetime.

These satellites are in geostationary orbit, meaning that they appear to be stationary in
relation to the earth. At this point it may be noted that geostationary satellites orbit in the
earth’s equatorial plane and their position is specified by their longitude.
For international traffic, INTELSAT covers three main regions—the Atlantic Ocean Region
(AOR), the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), and the Pacific Ocean Region (POR) and what is termed
Intelsat America’s Region.
For the ocean regions the satellites are positioned in geostationary orbit above the particular
ocean, where they provide a transoceanic telecommunications route. For example, INTELSAT
satellite 905 is positioned at 335.5° east longitude..
Recent figures from the INTELSAT Web site give the capacity for the INTELSAT VII as 18,000
two-way telephone circuits and three TV channels; up to 90,000 two-way telephone circuits
can be achieved with the use of “digital circuit multiplication.”
The INTELSAT VII/A has a capacity of 22,500 two-way telephone circuits and three TV
channels; up to 112,500 two-way tele- phone circuits can be achieved with the use of digital
circuit multiplication. As of May 1999, four satellites were in service over the AOR, one in the
IOR, and two in the POR.
The INTELSAT VIII-VII/A series of satellites was launched over the period February 1997 to
June 1998. Satellites in this series have similar capacity as the VII/A series, and the lifetime is
14 to 17 years.

It is standard practice to have a spare satellite in orbit on high reliability routes (which can
carry preemptible traffic) and to have a ground spare in case of launch failure.
Thus the cost for large international schemes can be high; for example, series IX, described
later, represents a total investment of approximately $1 billion.
