J. Comput. Math. 88, No. 10, 2026-2034 (2011).} \itemab Summary: Let $G$ be a connected graph with diameter diam$(G)$. The radio number for $G$, denoted by rn$(G)$, is the smallest integer $k$ such that there exists a function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2, \dots , k\}$ with the following satisfied for all vertices $u$ and $v:|f(u) - f(v)|\geq $ diam$(G) - d_{G}(u, v)+1$, where $d_{G}(u, v)$ is the distance between $u$ and $v$ in $G$. In this paper, we determine the radio number of ladder graphs. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{channel assignment problem; distance-two labelling; multi-level distance labelling; radio number; radio labelling} \itemli{doi:10.1080/00207160.2010.539211} \end
