Summary: 
In cellular mobile systems, an alternative approach for a Dynamic Channel Assignment problem is presented. It adaptively assigns the channels considering the cochannel interference level. The Dynamic Channel Assignment problem is modeled on the different cellular system from the conventional one. In this paper, we formulate the rearrangement problem in the Dynamic Channel Assignment and propose a novel strategy for the problem. The proposed algorithm is based on an artificial neural network as a specific dynamical system, and is successfully applied to the cellular system models. The computer simulation results show that the algorithm utilized for the rearrangement is an effective strategy to improve the traffic characteristics.
