What is A New Perspective on Channel Allocation in WLAN: Considering the Total Marginal Utility of the Connections for the Users about?

The channel allocation problem consists in defining the frequency used by Access Points (APs) in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). An overlap of channels in a WLAN is the major factor of performance reduction for the users in a network. For this reason, we propose a new model for channel allocation that aims to maximize the total quality of the connection of the user by considering their marginal utility. The results show that an allocation model that does not take into account the total utility of each connection tends to prioritize the quality of connection of a few users and lead to a large unbalance in the distribution of connection speed between users. Thus, the new model can handle the importance of degradation caused by the levels of interference in the user connection separately. ## CCS Concepts •Networks → Wireless local area networks; •Mathematics of computing → Evolutionary algorithms;
