Abstract
A spread spectrum OCDMA communication system in which multiple base stations or beams from a satellite are deployed in a “cellular” coverage structure, system capacity is increased by dividing the available spectrum into non-overlapping frequency segments which are assigned to different cells in a frequency reuse pattern to provide greater system capacity than full frequency reuse in each cell.
