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.
