dc.descriptionWe consider a network model where the nodes are grouped into a number of clusters and propose a distributed dynamic frequency allocation algorithm that achieves performance close to that of a centralized optimal algorithm. Each cluster chooses its transmission frequency band based on its knowledge of the interference that it experiences. The convergence of the proposed distributed algorithm to a sub-optimal frequency allocation pattern is proved. For some specific cases of spatial distributions of the clusters in the network, asymptotic bounds on the performance of the algorithm are derived and comparisons to the performance of optimal centralized solutions are made. These analytic results and additional simulation studies verify performance close to that of an optimum centralized frequency allocation algorithm. It is demonstrated that the algorithm achieves about 90% of the Shannon capacities corresponding to the optimum/near-optimum centralized frequency band assignments. Furthermore, we consider the scenario where each cluster can be in active or inactive mode according to a two-state Markov model. We derive conditions to guarantee finite steady state variance for the output of the algorithm using stochastic analysis. Further simulation studies confirm the results of stochastic modeling and the performance of the algorithm in the time-varying setup.
