In an FDMA/FDD system, a single user occupies a single channel while the call is in process. The single-channel is two simplex channel that is frequency duplexed with a separation.
The number of channels that can be simultaneously supported in an FDMA system is given by :
N =  Bt - 2 Bguard  /  Bc   
Where,
Bt = Total spectrum allocation
Bt = Total spectrum allocation
Bguard  =  Guard band allocated at the edge of the allocated spectrum
Bc = Channel bandwidth         
For example:
Bt  = 10 MHz
Bguard = 10 KHz
Bc = 30 KHzN = Bt - 2 Bguard / Bc
              = 10 * 106 – 2 * 10 * 103 / 30 * 103
          N  = 333
Each cellular carrier is allocated 333 channels.
