Total interference from all the adjacent cell sites is the ratio of interference from all the cell sites versus total
interference from other mobile stations in the same cell site (about 65%). In the case of directional cell site, one cell
normally uses a 120°sector antenna in order to divide the sector into three. In this case, each antenna is used only for
1/3 of mobile stations in the cell site and accordingly, interference is reduced by 1/3 on the average and the capacity
that can be supported by the entire system is increased by three times.
2.7 Soft Capacity
The subscriber capacity of the CDMA system is flexible depending on the relation between the number of users and
service classes. For example, the system operator can increase the number of channels available for use during the
busy hour despite the drop in call quality. This type of function requires 40% of normal call channels in the standby
mode during the handoff, in an effort to avoid call disconnection resulting from the lack of channels.
In addition, in the CDMA system, services and service charges are classified further into different classes so that
more transmit power can be allocated to high class service users for easier call set-up; they can also be given higher
priority of using hand-off function than the general users.
