System and method of dynamically increasing the capacity of a code division multiple access radio telecommunications network
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically increasing capacity of a fully loaded code division multiple access (CDMA) radio telecommunications network having a plurality of base stations serving a plurality of operating mobile stations on a plurality of channel elements, said radio telecommunications network utilizing a macro-diversity technique to improve radio quality between the base stations and each operating mobile station, said method comprising the steps of:
- simultaneously providing a plurality of duplicate radio channel elements from at least one base station to each mobile station operating in the radio telecommunications network;
receiving a request for access to said fully loaded radio telecommunications network from an additional mobile station;
determining, by a load capacity monitor, whether said radio telecommunications network is fully loaded;
releasing one of said duplicate channel elements from one of said operating mobile stations, upon determining that said radio telecommunications network is fully loaded; and
assigning said released channel element to said additional mobile station.

Abstract
A method and system for dynamically increasing the capacity of a code division multiple access (CDMA) radio telecommunications network. The method begins by the radio telecommunications network receiving a request for access to the radio telecommunications network from an entering mobile station. Next, a load capacity monitor determines if the radio telecommunications network is fully loaded. When the radio telecommunications network is fully loaded, a network load processor releases one of a duplicate channel element (transceiver) used in the CDMA radio telecommunications network by one of the operating mobile stations. The network load processor then assigns the released channel element to the entering mobile station. The system includes a load capacity monitor to determine whether the radio telecommunications network is fully loaded. The system also includes a network load processor to reallocate duplicate channel elements from the operating mobile stations to the entering mobile station.
