Description
The CDMA overlay concept, has been proposed as one alternative to take advantage of the bandwidth available in narrowband systems. In fact, the basic idea of the CDMA overlay is to allow to wideband CDMA wave forms, to share a common spectrum with narrowband conventional wave forms. In this work, we have focused in the analysis of the performance of the forward link of the CDMA and TDMA systems when they are overlaid. In our model, in order to limit the interference into the CDMA layer caused by the TDMA system, the use of notch filters has been considered. However, one drawback of the filters is that it rejects only one part of the interference generated by the TDMA system. Therefore, we have proposed two new ideas of reduction of the interference which can not be eliminated by filters; ordered hunt and real location of the slots. Finally, we present an analytical evaluation of the forward link capacity of the systems involved in the overlaid process, due to this is the limiting link and as a function of the outage probabilities. Practical considerations such as power requirements, power control, handoff, the offered load for different services and scenarios are also addressed.
