Abstract

In order to assess the spectrum usage efficiency in mobile radio services, we consider the capacity limits of a CDMA system. The maximum achievable capacity per $km^2$ is viewed as a meaningful figure of merit for a cellular system and a method is proposed here to estimate the minimum achievable distance between adjacent base stations in the case of CDMA. The probability for entering in soft handover state is used as a limit for densification in a CDMA system. From this criterion, conditions on the minimum possible cell radius are derived.
