Abstract

The frequency reuse efficiency for the proposed code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular system is analytically derived, and it is shown that the cell capacity of a fully loaded multiple cell system is about 75% of what would be available for a single cell system. In addition, an engineering issue in transitioning from analog advanced mobile phone system (AMPS) to CDMA system is discussed. Calculating excessive interference power due to a CDMA channel, it is shown that when a CDMA channel is introduced in a cell, there should be at least one ring of buffer cells, in which the analog channels falling into the CDMA band are not reused
