FM BS

 
This document provides an analysis of TETRA MS interfering with an FM BS, based on the information retained in the ERC Report 104 on “Adjacent Band Compatibility Of 400MHz TETRA And Analogue FM PMR – An Analysis Completing Using MONTE CARLO Based Simulation Tool”. This scenario involves a population of TETRA mobile stations interfering with a victim FM base station. In all of the simulations the victim FM system is assumed to have a 7.8 km cell radius which provides a 90 % area availability.

Figure 2 illustrates the band plan assumed for this investigation. 2 MHz of spectrum has been allocated to the up-link of TETRA and directly adjacent to this, 2 MHz has been allocated to FM.

The purpose of this example is to use SEAMCAT to obtained the probability of interference resulting from unwanted emissions of the TETRA Mobile Stations falling at the frequency where the FS Based Station is operating.

2.1       Victim link characteristics – FM

 

The victim FM system is assumed to have a 7.8 km cell radius which provides a 90 % area availability. The reception bandwidth of FM BS victim receiver is equal to 8kHz.

3          Assumptions to be conducted during the training session

 

Starting from the characteristics provided above, some “reference” hypothesis may be used to obtain a first set of results.

 

3.1       TETRA network

 

A 2 MHz band is available for TETRA systems of 25 kHz channel spacing, then a total of 80 channels are available. It is supposed that only one TETRA MS terminals may use the same frequency at a given time.

The frequency cluster is taken equal to 9, this leads to have 80/9=8.88 frequency per cell available. Then up to 9 terminals may be deployed in a TETRA cell.

If the TETRA cell is the traffic limited network and the density of terminals equal to 5 terminals/km², then the coverage radius is given by the following formula (see ERC Report 68 or User Documentation):

The radius of the cell of the interfering system is given by

 

R=sqrt((80*1)/(3.14*5*9))=0.7523 km.

 

The following picture describes a TETRA network based on the above assumptions.

 

Figure 3 : TETRA network based on these assumptions

 

 

3.2       Interference situation

 

As a worst case assumption, we may suppose that, the FM BS station will be based in the TETRA cell where the channel (411.9875MHz) operating close to the edge of the TETRA band is used. The same probability is assigned to each channel available in the TETRA cell. Then the frequency plan in this cell starts from 410.1874MHz up to 411.9875MHz with a step of 25kHz*9. The frequency distribution is depicted in the following figure.

 

Figure 4 : frequency distribution in the TETRA cell

 

 

For simplification a uniform distribution of the frequency between 410.1875 and 411.9875 MHz is assumed.

 

If there is no spatial correlation between the elements of the victim system and the elements of the interfering system then the simulation radius is given by the formula:

    = radius of the area where interferers are spread

 

We have to consider 9 active interferers with a density of 5 terminals/km²: Then, the radius of the simulation area results in

R=sqrt(9/(3.14*5))=0.7569km.

 

The FM Based Station, which is the victim receiver is supposed to be operating at 412.00625MHz, that is the center of the first channel, i.e. no guard interval is assumed.

 

3.3       Unwanted emission mask

 

The total emission of the interfering transmitter consists of

·      the wanted signal within the defined bandwidth corresponding to an frequency offset of ± 50 % of the necessary bandwidth Bn,

·      the out-of-band emission caused by the modulation within, e.g. ± 50...250 % of Bn

·      and the spurious emission outside these ranges.

 

That means the mask to be defined has to cover this whole range. It is strongly recommended to define always such an "unwanted mask" rather to use the constant option which will be blocked in the upgraded version anyway.

 

It should be noted that the TETRA MS unwanted emissions mask is not defined for frequency offset below 25 kHz. Considering the channel spacing of 25 kHz and assuming 0 dBc in that range, then in the undefined range between 12.5 and 25 kHz, a linear interpolation between 0 and 60 dBc attenuation will be taken place. It should also taken into account that the reference bandwidth (18 kHz) used for the mask is identical to the bandwidth of the interfering system!

 

4          Probability of interference

 

Based on the above assumptions the probability of interference (C/I criteria and unwanted emissions + blocking are taken into account) is about 2.5 %.
