The Channel Allocation Problem<br />
�� How to allocate a single broadcast channel among<br />
several competing users!?<br />
�� Static Channel Allocation in LANs and MANs<br />
�� Allocating a single channel, such as a telephone trunk,<br />
among multiple competing users is Frequency Division<br />
Multiplexing (FDM). If there are N users, the bandwidth is<br />
divided into N equal-sized equal sized portions, each user being<br />
assigned one portion. Since each user has a private<br />
frequency band, there is no interference between users.<br />
�� When the number of senders is large and continuously varying<br />
or the traffic is bursty, bursty,<br />
FDM presents some problems. If more<br />
than N users want to communicate, some of them will be<br />
denied permission for lack of bandwidth.<br />
