Dynamic Spectrum Allocation Algorithms

Abstract

The setting for the spectrum allocation problems that we are currently considering consists of n tasks (i.e. flight tests). Each task has a bandwidth requirement, and a length. Thus each test can be thought of as a rectangle, with the vertical height of the rectangle being the bandwidth requirement. The scheduling space is a larger rectangle space, with height equal to the total spectrum available and length equal to the time period to be scheduled (e.g. a day). In order to avoid interference, two tasks must be placed in such a way that they do not overlap in this space. Additionally we assume that for each task there is a range of times at which it may be scheduled (e.g. it may be specified that a task should be scheduled between 10AM and 3PM), and an optional integer benefit/priority for the schedule (in our tests to date, all jobs have had equal priorities).
