This paper shows that, particularly for terrestrial cellular telephony, the interference suppression feature of CDMA can result in a many-fold increase in capacity over aualog and even over competing digital techniques. As recently as 1985 a straightforward comparison of the capacity of CDMA to that of conventional TDMA and FDMA for satellite applications suggested a reasonable edge in capacity.
