Design Aspects of a CDMA Cellular Radio Network

This paper has identified the key elements in designing a CDMA system in which two scenarios are considered: non-uniform capacity but uniform cell-size scenario; and nonuniform capacity and non-uniform cell-size scenario. Due to the many variables, the number of channels in each cell has to meet certain conditions from the reverse channel formula. Then the total transmitted power of all the forward-link channels at each different cell site can be determined based on the worst-case interference conditions.
