Experimental study on Protection Distances between LTE and DVB-T stations operating in adjacent UHF frequency bands

Interference Analysis between Mobile Radio and Digital Terrestrial Television in the Digital Dividend Spectrum

“…In [12] and [13], simulation analyses are carried out to estimate the adjacent channel interfering effects of LTE Base Station (eNodeB) and User Equipment (UE) on DVB-T receiver systems, through the computation of the correspondent Protection Distance (PD). In both works, the power density spectrum of LTE signals has been approximated using the spectrum Block Emission Masks (BEM) reported on the ETSI recommendations ETSI TS 136 104 V8.7.0 for LTE base stations.…”

“…Taking into account the power density spectrum load dependency of an eNodeB signal, the present paper aims to provide an effective contribution in the comparison of the PR and PD results obtained from the field measurements with results obtained from the simulations [12][13][14], and results obtained from laboratory measurements [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Co-channel coexistence between DVB-T/H and LTE standards in a shared frequency band

“…General interaction between mobile telecommunication and DTV services is studied in [8]. Authors in [9] and [10], focused on the exploring of possible adjacent channel interference of the LTE mobile system (at downlink) into DVB-T services at fixed reception scenario. Different coexistence scenarios between DVB-T/H and LTE services was explored in [11] while authors in [12] and [13] focus on the measuring and exploring the interactions of the unwanted LTE services and upcoming 2 nd generation DVB terrestrial (DVB-T2) system.…”
