In the static channel assignment scheme for cellular mobile computing environment, each cell has a fixed number of channels and supports a service for a user′s request entering to the cell. This scheme has an advantage of simplicity. However, this scheme has a disadvantage that can′t control far hot cell problem. Therefore, to solve this problem, the "channel borrowing" concept is needed. In this paper, we propose a load balancing(channel borrowing, channel reassignment) approach using genetic algorithm. The purposes of using genetic algorithm in this paper are ${\circled1}$ to find early a cell including an available channel and ${\circled2}$ to decrease a number of probings and ${\circled3}$ to migrate to the cell after searching an available channel near upon optimality. To represent effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we simulated various experiments.

In this paper, we have estimated by means of the theoretical analysis and the simulation of FCA(Fixed Channel Assignment) and CB(Channel Borrowing) in order to consider the CB as a technique to meet ducting interference from adjacent countries. Also, we assumed that the receiving power level of ducting interference with time rate can be characterized by the normal distribution due to the previous measured results, and the ducting interferences which are exceeding the reference power level can be regarded as calls. These calls can be processed by CR assignment and by which sharing channels between cells brings to us the method of meeting the ducting interference to use spectrum resources effectively. However, the spectrum frequency reusing and the interference effects between channels should be considered in CB simulation in the future.

For very large multimedia traffic to be supported successfully in wireless network environment, it is necessary to provide Quality-of-Service(QoS) guarantees between mobile hosts(clients). In order to guarantee the Qos, we have to keep the call blocking probability below target value during handoff session. However, the QoS negotiated between the client and the network may not be guaranteed due to lack of available channels for traffic in the new cell, since mobile clients should be able to continue their on-going sessions. In this paper we propose a efficient load-balancing algorithm based on the adaptive bandwidth reservation scheme for enlarging available channels in a cell. We design a new method to predict the mobility of clients using MPT(mobility profile table). This method is then used to reserve a part of bandwidths for handoff calls to its adjacent cells and this reserved bandwidth can be used for handoff call prior to new connection requests. If the number of free channels is also under a low threshold value, our scheme use a load-balancing algorithm with a adaptive bandwidth reservation. In order to evaluate the performance of our algorithm, we measure the metrics such as the blocking probability of new calls and dropping probability of handoff calls, and compare with other existing schemes.
