4、 various fora, internal and external to the CEPT. As the need to reassess the limits for unwanted emissions within RR-Appendix 8 is observed, it is widely recognised that a generic method is preferable for this purpose. One of numerous reasons why generic methods are favoured is their a priori poten

5、tial to treat new communication systems and technologies as they emerge. Other reason is that only generic method can aspire to become a basis for a widely recognised analysis tool. The Monte-Carlo Radio Simulation tool described in this Report was developed, based on above considerations, within th

Background In order to reassess the limits for unwanted emissions within RR - Appendix 8, it is desirable to develop an analytical tool to enable us to evaluate the l

10、evel of interference which would be experienced by representative receivers. It has been agreed in the TG-1/3 that level of interference should be expressed in terms of the probability that reception capability of the receiver under consideration is impaired by the presence of an interferer. To arri

11、ve at this probability of interference, statistical modelling of interference scenarios will be required and this paper describes the methodology and offers a proposal for the tool architecture. The statistical methodology described here and used for the tool development is best known as Monte-Carlo

12、 technique. The term “Monte-Carlo“ was adopted by von Neumann and Ulan during World War II, as a codename for the secret work on solving statistical problems related to atomic bomb design. Since that time, the Monte-Carlo method has been used for the simulation of random processes and is based upon

13、the principle of taking samples of random variables from their defined probability density functions. The method may be described as the most powerful and commonly used technique for analysing complex statistical problems. Monte Carlo approach is seen not to have an alternative in development of a m

14、ethodology for analysing unwanted emission interference. The approach is: 0 generic - A diversity of possible interference scenarios can be handled by single model. flexible - The approach is very flexible, and may be easily devised in a such way to handle the composite interference scenarios. 2. Mo

15、nte-Carlo Simulation Technique: An Overview The Monte Carlo method can address virtually ali radio-interference scenarios. This flexibility is achieved by the way the parameters of the system are defined. The input form of each variable parameter (antenna pattern, radiated power, propagation path,.

16、. .) is its statistical distribution function. It is therefore possible to model even very complex situations by relatively simple elementary functions. Number of diverse systems can be treated, such as 0 broadcasting (terrestrial and satellite) 0 mobile (terrestrial and satellite) point to point 0

17、point to multipoint etc. The principle is best explained on a following example, which considers only unwanted emissions as the interfering mechanism. In general the Monte Carlo method addresses also other effects present in the radio environment such as out of band emissions, receiver blocking and

18、intermodulation. STDDCEPT ERC REPORT 68ENGL 2000 2326434 0036730 SIT ERC REPORT 68 Page 4 2.1 Illustrative example (only un wanted emissions, most influent interferer). For interference to occur, it has been assumed that the minimum C/i is not satisfied at the receiver input. In order to calculate t

19、he C/I experienced by the receiver, it is necessary to establish both the wanted signal and unwanted signal levels. Unwanted emissions considered in this simulation are assumed to result from active transmitters. Moreover, only spurii falling into the receiving bandwidth have been considered to cont

20、ribute towards interference. For the mobile to fixed interference scenario, an example is shown in figure 2.1. Many potential mobile transmitters are illustrated. Only some of the transmitters are actively transmitting and still fewer emit unwanted energy in the victim receiver bandwidth. It is assu

21、med that interference occurs as a result of unwanted emissions from the most influent transmitter with the lowest path loss (median propagation loss + additional attenuation variation + variation in transmit power) to the receiver. An example of Monte-Carlo simulation process as applied to calculati

22、ng probability of interference due to unwanted emission is given in figure 2.2. For each trial, a random draw of the wanted signal level is made from an appropriate distribution. For a given wanted signal level, the maximum tolerable unwanted level at the receiver input is derived from the receivers

23、 CA figure. For the many interferers surrounding the victim, the isolation due to position, propagation loss (including any variations and additional losses) and antenna discrimination is computed. The lowest isolation determines the maximum unwanted level which may be radiated by any of the transmi

24、tters during this trial. From many trials, it is then possible to derive a histogram of the unwanted levels and for a given probability of interference, then to determine the corresponding unwanted level. By varying the values of the different input parameters to the model and given an appropriate d

25、ensity of interferers, it is possible to analyse a large spectra of interference scenarios.

Architecture requirements One of the main require

28、ments is to select such an architectural structure for the simulation tool which would be flexible enough to accommodate analysis of composite interference scenarios in which a mixture of radio equipment sharing the same habitat and/or multiple sources of interference (e.g. out-of-band emission, spu

29、rious emission, intermodulation ) are involved and can be treated concurrently. Other requirements would be that the proposed architecture lend itself for modular development and is versatile enough to allow treatment of the composite interference scenarios. The proposed Monte Carlo architecture whi

30、ch meets these constraints is presented in Fig. 3.1. The proposed architecture is basically of a sequential type and consists of four processing engines: event generation engine dis tribu tion evaluation engine interference calculation engine limits evaluation engine The schematic view on the entire

Generated samples of the desired and all interfering signals are stored in separate data arrays of the len

34、gth N. The trials on parameters being common for desired and interfering radio paths are done concurrently in order to capture possible correlation between desired and interfering signals. Such an implementation will not cover only those seldom cases of interference in which one interference mechani

Each of the above three categories requires a different model for physical processes being characteristic for that STD-CEPT ERC REPORT bB-ENGL 2000 232b4L4 0016734 Lb5 EHC REPORT 68 Page 8 interfering mechanism. The man-made noise and the antenna temperature noise can be consid

39、ered as an increase of the thermal noise level, decreasing thus the sensitivity of a receiver, and can be entered in the simulation when the criteria of interference is I/N or C/I+N. 3.2 Distribution Evaluation Engine The distribution evaluation engine DEE takes arrays of the data generated by the E

40、GE and processes the data with aims of: assessing whether or not the number of samples is sufficient to produce statistically stable results calculating correlation between the desired signal and interfering signal data and between different types of the interfering signal (e.g. blocking vs. Unwante

41、d emissions) calculating a known “continuous“ distribution function as the best fit to the RSS random variable. First and well known goodness-of-fit algorithms for general distributions such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Applicability of the fit to this specific task is to be further investigated

42、when the first generation of software is available. third of the above points can be achieved using If DEE detect unacceptable variation in discrete distribution parameters estimated in two successive estimations using N and N+AN sample size, the EGE is instructed to generate another AN of additiona

43、l samples. This test is repeated until a tolerable variation of the parameters is measured over the pre defined number of successive tests. Three different kind of outputs are possible fi-om the DEE engine: data arrays of the wanted and interfering signals. This is the output in the case that a high

44、 degree of correlation is detected between the wanted and any of the interfering signals. 0 discrete distributions of the wanted and interfering signals are passed in the case of a weak correlation between the signals or in the case that there was no correlation between the signals but no continuos

45、distribution approximation with satisfactory accuracy was possible. continuous distribution functions of the wanted and interfering signals are passed to ICE in the case that signals were decorelated and discrete distributions were successfully approximated with continuos distribution functions The

46、proposed flow chart and detailed algorithm specification is presented in ANNEX C. 3.3 Interference Calculation Engine The interference calculation engine ICE is the heart of the proposed architecture. Here, information gathered by the EGE and processed by DEE are used to calculate probability of ERC

47、 REPORT 68 Page 9 interference. Depending on which kind of information was passed from DEE to ICE three possible modes of calculating the probability of interference are identified, as shown in ANNEX D. Mode 1: data arrays for dRSS and inRSS passed by DEE to the ICE, and vector representing the comp

48、osite interfering signal I is calculated as a sum of the inRSS data vectors. Mode 2: distribution function for the composite interfering signal is calculated by taking random samples for inRSS distributions and linearly adding them up. Mode 3: The IRSS is calculated using numerical or analytical int

49、egration of the supplied distribution functions for each of the interference sources. Mode 4: All signals are assumed to be mutually independent and the overall probability for interference is identrfied as the probability to be disturbed by at least one kind of interference. Different criteria for calculation of interference probability can be accommodated within the processing engine. A cumulative probability functions can be calculated for C/N+I or N/N+I random variables. The flow of information together with associated processes is shown in form of a flo
