Abstract

An improved multi-agent simulation model is presented in this paper for modeling resource allocation strategies in wireless communications. It is based on a novel agent negotiation methodology based on real time event scheduling extending calendar queue algorithm. The application of the new scheme in modeling GSM cellular networks shows significant enhancements with regards to network modeling performance compared to rival simulation modeling techniques.
