Abstract
The optimization of CDMA deployed over the legacy analog network is shown to be a complex series of issues and a function of both the intrinsic capacity of CDMA and some practical considerations associated with the incumbent AMPS system. The implications of voice rate, voice quality, deployment strategy and timing on overall network capacity are analyzed together with practical issues of managing the interference between the two networks with use of appropriate guard zones and guard bands etc. The maintenance of call quality, handdown and flawless network operation in the border areas of the dual-mode and analog network are analyzed by including appropriate usage of border and beacon cell sites and CDMA equipment parameters such as cell size. Some of the options available to the network provider in order to balance and optimize the trade-offs between coverage, quality and capacity are analyzed together with how best to proceed in an on-going basis as the growth of both analog and CDMA traffic continues.
