“…The channel assignment problem is usually formulated in the engineering literature as a nonlinear optimization problem. A huge collection of contributions in IEEE journals explore various aspects of current research on radio channel assignment problems, among them "IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology" [1,2,4,16,18,20,21,25,33,40,42,49,50,51], "IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication" [15,30], "IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking" [3,5], "IEEE/ACM Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems" [7,32], "Wireless Networks" [39,46,52], and IEEE Conferences [6,9,10,17,27,44].…”
