  5. Overlaying CDMA on an AMPS System 1.77 MHz Power 260 KHz 1.25 MHz Nominal Bandwidth 260 KHz GUARD BAND GUARD BAND CDMA CARRIER Frequency Each CDMA Channel: 1.250 MHz ÷ 30 kHz = 41.7 = ~41 AMPS channels Each Guard Band: 260 kHz ÷ 30 kHz = 8.7 = ~9 AMPS channels TOTAL: 1.77 MHz ÷ 30 kHz = 59 AMPS channels AVAILABLE AVAILABLE 41 AMPS channels 41 AMPS channels 41 AMPS channels CDMA CDMA CDMA CDMA CDMA 41 AMPS channels 9 AMPS channels Minimum Separation between AMPS/TDMA and CDMA center frequency: (1,250 kHz ÷ 2) + 260 kHz = 885 kHz 885 KHz

Assignments ~300 kHz. “guard bands” possibly required if adjacent-frequency signals are non-CDMA (AMPS, TDMA, ESMR, etc.) • All CDMA RF carriers are 1.25 MHz. wide • can serve ~22 users w/8 kb vocoder (~17 users w/13 kb vocoder) • The cellular spectrum of one operator is 12.5 MHz. wide. You’d expect that 10 CDMA carriers would fit. However, only 9 carriers can be used • operators must maintain a “token” AMPS presence for several years • “guard bands” are required at the edges of frequency blocks or any frequency boundaries between CDMA/non-CDMA signals • no guard bands are required between adjacent CDMA carriers

  7. Deploying CDMA on the 1900 MHz Band

  9. Overlaying CDMA on the 1900 MHz Band 1.77 MHz Power 260 KHz 1.25 MHz Nominal Bandwidth 260 KHz CDMA CARRIER GUARD BAND GUARD BAND Frequency Each CDMA Channel: 1.250 MHz ÷ 50 kHz = 25 channels Each Guard Band: 260 kHz ÷ 50 kHz = 5.2 = ~5 channels TOTAL: 1.77 MHz ÷ 50 kHz = 35.4 = ~ 35 channels Just as with the CDMA on AMPS overlay, a GUARD ZONE is also needed

  12. CDMA Frequency Clearing: A-band(N=7 Reuse Pattern) N = 7 a b g • To deploy a CDMA carrier centered on AMPS/TDMA Channel 283, AMPS/TDMA Channels 254 through 312, inclusive, must be cleared from the CDMA coverage area • The CDMA channel is implemented, centered on AMPS/TDMA Channel 283. The first usable AMPS/TDMA Channels (outside of the Guard Zone) are Channels 253 and 313

  13. CDMA Frequency Clearing: B-band(N=7 Reuse Pattern) N = 7 a b g • To deploy a CDMA carrier centered on AMPS/TDMA Channel 384, AMPS/TDMA Channels 355 through 413, inclusive, must be cleared from the CDMA coverage area • The CDMA channel is implemented, centered on AMPS/TDMA Channel 384. The first usable AMPS/TDMA Channels (outside of the Guard Zone) are Channels 354 and 414

  14. Overlay Guard Zone Deployment The Guard Zones are needed between CDMA and other systems because CDMA increases the noise floor for those systems AMPS Only Cells approx 19 channels per sector AMPS Only Cells (GUARD ZONE) approx 16 channels per cell CDMA & AMPS Cells approx 16 channels per sector one CDMA channel/carrier/frequency ( 42 + 9 + 9 ) ÷ 21 = 2.8 = ~3 AMPS channels must be cleared per sector in the CDMA & AMPS area and in the Guard Zone to make room for the first CDMA channel/carrier/frequency

  17. CDMA: Using a New Dimension • All CDMA users occupy the same frequency at the same time! Frequency and time are not used as discriminators • CDMA operates by using CODES to discriminate between users • CDMA interference comes mainly from nearby users • Each user is a small voice in a roaring crowd -- but with a uniquely recoverable code • Transmit power on all users must be tightly controlled so their signals reach the base station at the same signal level Figure of Merit: Ec/Io, Eb/No (energy per chip [bit] /interference [noise] spectral density) CDMA: Ec/Io -17 to -2 dB CDMA: Eb/No ~+6 dB
