APPLICATION OF MARKOV DECISION PROCESSES TO THE FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM

This paper presents an original algorithm, based on Markov decision processes (MDPs) (Bellman 1957), that is used to solve the frequency assignment problem in the field of radio broadcasting. The results obtained by this algorithm are compared to the best known results obtained by hybrid genetic algorithm (Alabau et al. 2002a), ant colony paradigms (Comellas and Ozón 1998), and the best operating solution in the field of radio broadcasting in France. 1
