Dynamic Chanel Allocation Technique
Why DCA ?
• FCA systems allocate specific channels to specific cells.
• Uneven Call Traffic -- available channels are not being used efficiently in FCA.
• In DCA systems, no set relationship exists between channels and cells.

Dynamic Chanel Allocation Technique
Conventional Approach
• Channel Allocation algorithm, rearranges the assignment channels in the whole network every time a new call arrives.• Complex Algorithms for deciding which available channel is most efficient.• Algorithms computationally intensive.• Requires large computing resources (Time).
These drawbacks lead us to use of Hopfield Networks
Hopfield Neural Networks
Characteristics
•Association or Classification•Optimization •Restoration of Patterns
Mapping Network
Objective:Assign a channel to the cell effectively along with the decrease in computation cost.
Hopfield Neural Networks
Architecture
Mapping the problem into HNN
Input
• Call arrival or the termination in a particular cell.
Output
• Assignment of channel available in the network.
Association or Mapping Network is used here in order to allocate the channel
Output of Hopfield Network is given by
Energy Function is given by
E(x)= - ½ Xt W X - It X + Q X

Conclusion:
•The HNN is an effective channel allocation technique with lowerthe computational costs of the algorithm (Time).
•A valuable feature of the HNN allocation technique is itsinsensitiveness to local faults -- implies loss of elaborativecapacity of some neurons doesn’t mean that system will beblocked.
