Overlapping spectrum cellular communication networks

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The overlapping spectrum cellular communication network functions to provide multiple cellular communication systems in the same spectrum as the existing NATS-based cellular communication system while also providing wideband , services to subscribers. This is accomplished by enabling two system operators to each have a dedicated 1.25 MHz slice of the NATS spectrum. However given , that there is only 2 MHz available this results in a 0.50 MHz overlap of 1.25 MHz carriers. To mitigate the inter-network overlap and the potential for interference between the two systems, the overlapping spectrum cellular communication network swaps forward and reverse path allocations on a per system …
