Summary: 
In general, dynamic channel assignment has a better performance than fixed channel assignment in a cellular mobile communication system. However, it is complex to control the system and a lot of equipments are required in each cell when dynamic channel assignment is applied to a large service area. Therefore, it is effective to limit the size of the service area in order to correct the defects of dynamic channel assignment. So, we propose an application of dynamic channel assignment to a part of a service area when fixed channel assignment is applied to the remaining part of the area. In the system, the efficiency of channel usage in some cells sometimes becomes terribly low. The system has such a problem to be improved. We show that the rearrangement of the channel allocation is effective on the problem.
