A spread spectrum technique for high capacity mobile communications

A spread spectrum technique for cellular mobile communication systems is proposed and the results of an analytical study of this technique are summarized. It is found that degradation due to rapid fading is substantially reduced and that, with adequate power control, the user density in a high-quality small cell system may be significantly greater than with conventional FH systems. Furthermore, unique addresses may be permanently assigned to each user and no channel switching is required as the user moves from cell to cell.
