Abstract
In many countries, the analogue Advanced MobilePhone System (AMPS) is progressively being replaced bydigital technologies, with the intention of maximizingcapacity and service quality. This paper considers strategies for the evolution of mobiletelephony services, employing several coexistingmultiple access technologies, such as Code DivisionMultiple Access (CDMA) and Global System for Mobile(GSM), in recovering the spectrum previously used byanalogue technologies such as AMPS. We propose partialspectral overlay and interference control strategies forCDMA systems overlaying AMPS and GSM systems, to provide smooth transition paths for introducingthe CDMA technology, and we show that these overlaystrategies lead to significant increases in overallnetwork capacity.
