Manivannan] Channel allocation plays an important role in increasing the throughput and assuring fairness to users not only in traditional cellular networks but also in cognitive radio networks and mesh networks. In this paper, we study the effect of pre-allocating channels to cells with respect to a distributed and fault-tolerant channel allocation algorithm. Results from our extensive performance evaluation indicate that distributed channel allocation algorithms that pre-allocate all channels to cells can have lower call failure rate, call blocking rate, and handoff drop rate compared to algorithms that partially pre-allocate channels or does not pre-allocate channels.
