Abstract

A Broadband Code Division Multiple Access (B-CDMA) technique is presented that will overlay the existing cellular telephone spectrum (825 to 894MHz). The overlay will provide additional capacity to the network while allowing high quality voice and high speed data services to be coexistent with the existing cellular services (AMPS and TDMA). The advantages of using B-CDMA in a fading environment are analyzed. The low level of mutual interference between the existing cellular telephone system and the B-CDMA overlay system is shown.
