Abstract: The current literature on mobile communication usually considers the channel assignment and the call admission control as two independent problems. However, in practice these two problems are not fully independent. This paper attempts to solve the complete problem uniquely by two alternative approaches. The first approach is concerned with the development of a fuzzy to binary mapping of the measurement variables to decision variables. The latter approach deals with fuzzy to fuzzy matching, and then employs a fuzzy threshold to transform the fuzzy decisions into binary values for execution. The performance of both the call management techniques are studied with the standard Philadelphia benchmark and the results outperform reported results on independent call admission and channel assignment problems.
