The mobile communication </em><em>system involves a large coverage area that serves a large geographical area. Due to the enormous </em><em>growth of mobile telephone users, the limited number of channels available in the regions is unable </em><em>to fulfill the user demand calls and this leads to the channel assignment problem. To solve this </em><em>problem, efficient channels reuse or allocation policy is needed to optimize the uses of channels with </em><em>low channels interference in the regions. In order to have an efficient channel allocation, one of the </em><em>solution is to fully optimize utilization of all channels. This work introduces channel assignment with </em><em>Channel Borrowing Scheme. This scheme allows borrowing of free or unused channels from </em><em>neighbouring or adjacent cells to fulfil the demand calls. Next, the interference occurs in the cells </em><em>is optimized as the objective function since quality of calls is important in mobile communication. </em><em>The result of the experiment shows that this proposed scheme has better result in terms of number </em><em>of rejected calls compared to non-channel borrowing scheme.</em></p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Electrical Engineering and Applied Sciences (IJEEAS)}, author={Muhamad Shaffiq Bin Saad and Loh, Ser Lee}, year={2020}, month={Oct.} }
