2、 800 MHz bands (WCDMA 1800) and GSM deployed in the PCS 1900 bands (GSM 1900) in adjacent bands and opposite duplex direction. The objective is to determine by means of deterministic calculations and Monte Carlo simulations the amount of guardband necessary to protect the two adjacent services again

Monte Carlo simulations have been used to investigate both the mobile station to mobile station (MS-MS) and BS-BS scenarios. This Report is arranged as follows: in 2, the a

4、ssumptions pertaining to the BS-BS interference scenario are recalled. 3 examines the impact of WCDMA 1800 BS interference on GSM 1900 uplinks by means of deterministic calculations, whereas 4 presents the Monte Carlo simulation results of the BS-BS and MS-MS scenarios. The Appendix summarizes the m

5、ethodology and assumptions specific to the Monte Carlo simulations. 1.2 Background The analysed phase 1 of personal communication system (PCS) evolution is characterised by the introduction of IMT-2000 technologies in the 1 710-1 755/1 800-1 845 MHz bands. The proposed allocation is considering a 5

8、GSMGBWCDMAAs an example, we are addressing here the GSM 1900 system but there are also other technologies in the PCS bands, such as IS-95 and TDMA (IS-136) where similar potential interference exists. This sharing situation will occur if portions of both the WCDMA 1800 and the PCS 1900 bands are all

9、ocated in the same geographical area. This causes potential mobile MS-MS as well as BS-BS interference. The deterministic calculations (worst case analysis) and the Monte Carlo simulations are two methodologies that complement each other. While deterministic calculations consider worst-case values f

10、or the systems parameters, statistical approaches like Monte Carlo simulations give access to an estimate of the probability with which this worst case will occur. The Monte Carlo methodology applied to the analysis of radio systems coexistence is now widely approved and recommended by the Electroni

The 3GPP-based Monte Carlo methodology has been used to analyse the guardband needed between the WCDMA 1800 and PCS 1900 bands. Simulation results pertaining to the macro-cellular environment are

12、 reported and discussed in this document. The simulation methodology and assumptions are described in details in Appendix 1. 2 Assumptions for the BS-BS scenario Table 1 aims at summarizing the assumptions adopted for the study.

ITU-R M.2031 3 Deterministic calculations The following study highlights the potential interference from the WCDMA downlink transmission to the GSM uplink reception in a base-to-base constellation when considering a rooftop installation scenario.

20、 In this section, only the WCDMA out-of-band transmission is considered, i.e. the WCDMA BS transmitter is suggested to be the limiting factor to the performance. It is noted that similar studies are also required in the opposite direction involving the terminals. BSs are supposed to be located withi

21、n LoS, and consequently, the dual-slope LoS propagation model is used.

27、value of 30 dB (including antenna gains2) and a level of unwanted emission from the WCDMA BS compliant with current 3GPP specifications3. Fig. 4 shows that WCDMA BS interference is causing more than 90% outage on the GSM uplink for a 5 MHz guardband. This degradation can be limited by taking into ac

ITU-R M.2031 4.1.1.1 BS-BS minimum coupling loss impact on GSM outage The influence of the minimum coupling loss between the WCDMA and GSM BSs antennas on the GSM capacity loss has been investigated. Since the MCL value of 30 dB specified

30、 in 3GPP TS 25.104 is a worst-case value, higher MCL values have been considered in this study5. Results for MCL of 40, 50 and 60 dB are presented in Fig. 4. It is found that when considering a guardband of 5 MHz, GSM capacity loss can be reduced down to around 6% by applying a MCL value of 60 dB. R

Outage figures for MCL values of 30 dB

33、(3GPP specifications), 40 dB and 50 dB are presented in Fig. 5 (10 dB margin) and in Fig. 6 (20 dB margin). The results show that for a guardband of 5 MHz between the GSM and WCDMA bands in opposite duplex direction, GSM outage level is less than 5% for the 10 dB margin and for MCL higher or equal t

34、o 50 dB. When considering the 20 dB margin case, an MCL value of 40 dB is sufficient to reduce GSM system outage below 5%. 5Antenna-to-antenna Isolation Measurements 3GPP TSG RAN WG4 Allgon TSG R4 No. 8 (99)631 October 1999.

ITU-R M.2031 4.1.1.3 Power levels statistics This section proposes to further investigate the BS-BS scenario in co-siting by analysing the GSM BTS received power statistics. The victim GSM uplink sig

38、nal and the interfering WCDMA BS signal levels have been computed from the simulations by considering various scenarios (varying the MCL, the additional filtering and the cell size). Their statistics are presented in this section. The objective was to further investigate the influence of the antenna

39、 isolation (modelled by the MCL parameter) and the WCDMA BTS additional filtering. An understanding of these distributions will also help the comprehension of the role played by the GSM power control mechanism in the mitigation of the WCDMA interference. GSM only (no WCDMA interference; cell radius

40、= 577 m) Figures 7 and 8 respectively show the distribution of GSM wanted power level and intra-system interference power received at the GSM BTS. The narrow distribution obtained for the intra-system interference power in Fig. 8 shows that the GSM system achieves an intra-system interference level

41、between 114 dBm and 110 dBm for more than 85% of the uplinks.

44、ssion of the WCDMA BSs is added to the GSM intra-system interference (see Fig. 10). When considering MCL and ACLR values as per current 3GPP specifications, Monte Carlo simulations show that for more than 99% of the GSM uplinks, wanted GSM signal is received at higher power than 80 dBm (i.e. 27 dB a

45、bove sensitivity), as can be seen in Fig. 9. Given these results, the worst case for that scenario would be to consider a wanted received power of 80 dBm since less than 1% of the GSM links have a wanted received power lower or equal to 80 dBm. This case occurs for the GSM users that are the furthes

46、t from their BS. In that case, all the GSM MS transmission powers are equal or almost equal to the maximum transmit power (i.e. 30 dBm), meaning that the GSM power control loop is saturated due to the high interference levels coming from the WCDMA BSs. In this particular case, GSM outage reaches an

47、unacceptable level of 90%.

This validates the deterministic calculation approach for the determinat

On the contrary, the distribution of the wanted GSM signal is wider in power range, which implies that the received wanted power assumption used within the deterministic calculations need to be validated carefully by comparing it with the actual power distribution.
