This paper presents an original algorithm, based on Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), that is used to solve the frequency assignment problem in the field of radiobroadcasting. The results obtained by this algorithm are compared to the best known results obtained by hybrid genetic algorithm, ant colony paradigms and the best operating solution in the field of radiobroadcasting in France.
