Channel allocation schemes
Overview
 
In radio resource management
Radio resource management
Radio resource management is the system level control of co-channel interference and other radio transmission characteristics in wireless communication systems, for example cellular networks, wireless networks and broadcasting systems...

 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
Grade of service
In telecommunication engineering, and in particular teletraffic engineering, the quality of voice service is specified by two measures: the grade of service and the quality of service ....

 by avoiding co-channel interference
Co-channel interference
Co-channel interference or CCI is crosstalk from two different radio transmitters using the same frequency. There can be several causes of co-channel radio interference; four examples are listed here....

 and adjacent channel interference among nearby cells or networks that share the bandwidth.
There are two types of strategies that are followed:-
  1. Fixed: FCA, fixed channel allocation: Manually assigned by the network operator
  2. Dynamic:
    1. DCA, dynamic channel allocation,
    2. DFS, dynamic frequency selection
    3. Spread spectrum

In Fixed Channel Allocation or Fixed Channel Assignment (FCA) each cell
Cellular network
A cellular network is a radio network distributed over land areas called cells, each served by at least one fixed-location transceiver known as a cell site or base station. When joined together these cells provide radio coverage over a wide geographic area...

 is given a predetermined set of frequency channels.
Quotations

It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing.

At age 29, as quoted in Playboy (February 1985)

I feel like somebody just punched me in the stomach and knocked all my wind out. I'm only 30 years old and I want to have a chance to continue creating things. I know I've got at least one more great computer in me. And Apple is not going to give me a chance to do that.

On his expulsion from any position of authority at Apple, after having invited John Sculley|John Sculley to become CEO, as quoted in Playboy (September 1987)

Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?

A comment he made in persuading John Sculley|John Sculley to become Apple's CEO, as quoted in Odyssey : Pepsi to Apple : A Journey of Adventure, Ideas, and the Future (1987) by John Sculley and John A. Byrne

It's better to be a pirate than to join the Navy.
