#### Abstract

We are investigating optimal radio labelings of radio stations that avoid radio interference between them. We present this issue using graph theory, comprising a mathematical model where each vertex represents a station and the edges represent the closeness of the stations. Let \textit{G} be a connected graph. The \textit{distance} between two vertices $u$ and $v$ in G is defined by the length of the shortest path in \textit{G} between $u$ and $v$, which is denoted by $d_G(u,v)$. The \textit{diameter} of \ textit{G}, denoted by diam$(G)$, is the maximum distance between two veritices in \textit{G}. The \ textit{radio labeling} of $G$ is a function $f$ that assigns each vertex a non-negative integer such that $|f (u)- f(v)|$ $\geq$ diam$(G)-d_G(u,v)+1$ holds for any two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$. The $span$ of $f$ is the difference of the largest and the smallest channels used. The \textit{radio number} of \textit{G}, denoted by all radio labelings of \textit{G}. \textit{f} is said to be a \ textit{optimal radio labeling} of G if \textit{span} $f=$ rn$(G)$. A \textit{cycle} with \textit{n} vertices, denoted by $C_n$, is a graph whose vertex set can be reordered as $\ {v_1, v_2,..., v_n\}$ such that $E(C_n) = \{v_1 v_2, v_2 v_3,...,v_{n-1}v_n, v_n v_1\}$. The $square$ of a graph \textit{G} has the same vertex set as \textit{G}, but the edge set is now $E(G^2) =$ $E(G)\cup \{uv : d_G(u,v) = 2\}.$ In this presentation, we will discuss the progress we made on the unsloved case for rn$(C_n^2)$, where $n=4k+3$ with $k=4m+3$, for some some $m$ in the integer.
