Summary: 
In this paper, we propose an adaptive guard symbol insertion method for one-cell reuse TDMA cellular systems in which co-channel interference is reduced by adaptively selecting the best transmit-pulse waveform with different guard (null-) symbols according to the average error power (AEP) corresponding to signal-to-interference and noise power ratio (SINR), even though the same frequency channel is used at all base stations. Using the proposed system, current TDMA-based systems are readily extensible to one-cell reuse systems, which achieves higher spectrum efficiency. The system capacity is enhanced using the proposed method; moreover, the required qualities such as blocking probability and outage probability are retained.
