Abstract

In the frequency allocation problem we are given a cellular tephone network whose geographical coverage area is divided into cells where phone calls are serviced by frequencies assigned to them, so that none of the pairs of calls emanating from the same or neighboring cells is assigned the same frequency. The problem is to use the frequencies efficiently, i.e. minimize the span of used frequencies. The frequency allocation problem can be regarded as a multicoloring problem on a weighted hexagonal graph. In this paper we present a 1-local 17/12-competitive distributed algorithm for a multicoloring of hexagonal graph, thereby improving the competitiveness ratio of previously known best 1-local 13/9-competitive algorithm (see [1]).
