Resource allocation using modified banker’s algorithm for next-generation wireless networks

Abstract

Active wireless users are increasing enormously every day. Past two decades active users’ statistics reveal the need for more radio resources. Radio resource is a limited resource, and hence, the utilization of it in an effective manner is a key point in radio resource management (RRM). This paper discusses the approach of resource allocation to requesting users using a modified banker’s algorithm (MBA). As an output, the algorithm provides an allocation sequence to various users without causing any interference to the existing user communication. The suggested method uses the parameters such as allocation of resources to existing users, utmost requirement of the users for seamless communication, number of available resources specific to the given environment, requests arriving from various users, and the priority for communication channel.
