A formula that computes the maximum number of users supported per base station in a cellular radio network is generalized to consider the frequency reuse number and arbitrary processing gains. The generalization quantifies a cost associated with in-cell interference by accounting for the lack of interference from the desired user on the total interference and by considering the impact of the frequency reuse number on the out-of cell interference. This interference cost results in an increase in the received Eb/Io relative to FDMA, which should be weighted against a reduction in the Eb/Io requirement resulting from using CDMA.
