The Erlang capacity of multi-service multi-access systems supporting several different radio access technologies was analyzed and compared according to two different operation methods: the separate and common operation methods, by simultaneously considering the link capacity limit per sector as well as channel element (CE) limit in a base station (BS). In a numerical example with GSM-like and WCDMA-like sub-systems, it is shown that we can get up to 60% Erlang capacity improvement through the common operation method using a near optimum so-called service-based user assignment scheme when there is no CE limit in BS. Even with the worst-case assignment scheme, we can still get about 15% capacity improvement over the separate operation method. However, a limited number of CEs in BS reduces the capacity gains of multi-service multi-access systems in both the common operation and separate operation. In order to fully extract the Erlang capacity of multi-service multi-access systems, an efficient method is needed in order to select a proper number of CE in BS while minimizing the equipment cost.
