ITU-R F.1607 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R F.1607 Interference mitigation techniques for use by high altitude platform stations in the 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31.0-31.3 GHz bands (Question ITU-R 212/9) (2003) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that new technology utilizing high altitude p

5、he operation of HAPS in the bands referred to in considering d) above, recommends 1 that the following general interference mitigation techniques be considered in the development of a system using HAPS in the 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31.0-31.3 GHz bands (Notes 1 and 2): 1) increasing minimum operational e

6、levation angle; 2) improvement of radiation patterns of antennas on board HAPS and their ground stations; 3) shielding effect by HAPS airship envelope; 4) dynamic channel assignment; 5) automatic transmitting power control (ATPC). NOTE 1 Annex 1 describes general principles of the above interference

ITU-R F.1607 3 TABLE 1 Relation between interference mitigation techniques and interference scenarios 1) Increasing minimum operational ele

12、vation angle Interferences from the FSS earth station to the HAPS ground station, that between FS ground station and HAPS ground station and that from the HAPS ground station to the RAS station could be reduced by increasing minimum operational elevation angle of HAPS ground station so as to increas

13、e antenna separation angle toward ground stations for other services. As a result, required separation distance could be shortened. For example, in the case that the minimum operation angle of the HAPS ground station is increased from 20 to 40, the separation distance is reduced to about half (0.42

14、in precise) as shown below. In the theoretical analysis, radiation pattern of HAPS ground station antenna in that range of off-axis angle is given by the following equation, Recommendation ITU-R F.1245: G() = 39 5 log10(D/) 25 log10() where: : off-axis angle (degrees) D : antenna diameter : waveleng

ITU-R F.1607 The difference between a

17、ntenna gain for 20 off-axis and that for 40 is calculated to be about 7.5 dB. Therefore, the reduction is calculated by 10/5.710/1 = 0.42, since path loss is proportional to the square of transmission distance. It is noted in the case of minimum elevation angle of 40 that the required number of HAPS

18、 airship needs to be increased so as to keep the total service coverage unchanged. 2) Improvement of radiation patterns of antennas on board HAPS and ground station Interference from the HAPS airship to the satellite space segment could be reduced by pattern shaping of each beam of multibeam antenna

19、 on board HAPS airship, because the pattern shaping improves main-lobe and side-lobe characteristics. As a preliminary study result, radiation power of side lobe and back lobe is expected to be reduced by about 5 dB, by shaping the antenna beam pattern having the worst characteristics with four clus

20、ter beams as depicted in Fig. 2. The improvement is due to the transmission power reduction by gain increase of the antenna for boresight and also due to side-lobe gain reduction. 1607-02FIGURE 2Improvement of radiation pattern by beam shapingFSS satelliteReducedinterference(5 dB)InterferenceHAPSSup

ITU-R F.1607 5 3) Shielding effect by HAPS airship envelope This effect is given from the metal coating of HAPS airship envelope. Interference calculation between HAPS airship and satell

23、ite space segment is reduced by taking into account shielding effect to the side-lobe and back-lobe beam characteristics of the antenna on board the HAPS airship. The expected shielding effect is examined by electromagnetic scattering analysis using the model of 2-D cylindrical conductor with plane

24、wave normal incidence. According to the analysis and its approximation in equation expression, the following shield effect mask could be used for the maximum diameter of HAPS airship body more than 15 m and frequency of signals higher than 20 GHz. 0 dB for 0 90 0.5( 90) dB for 90 1 km and the DCA ma

If the FS system uses TDD or the HAPS system knows one of the pair channels of FS SUB signal in the uplink of the FS system using FDD, the HAPS system can get channel information of FS HUB signal in downlink by se

26、nsing FS SUB signal. Figure 6A b) shows that HAPS GS at Gaand Gccan sense the FS SUB signal, which are almost the same as those giving interference to FS SUB, and that the DCA could be feasible. Almost the same situation takes place in Figure 6B, which shows the result when FS SUB and FS HUB are loc

27、ated at Foand Fa, respectively.

However, HAPS GS at Gband Gccan sense the FS SUB signal as long as d 1 km and the DCA may not be feasible (Fig. 7A a). Signal sensing at

32、 HAPS AS could also be very difficult. If the FS system uses TDD or the HAPS system knows one of the pair channels of FS SUB signal in uplink of the FS system using FDD, the HAPS system can get channel information of FS HUB signal in downlink by sensing FS SUB signal. Figure 7A b) shows that HAPS GS

33、 at Gbcan sense the FS SUB signal and also HAPS GS at Gdcan sense it when d 2 km, the off-axis transmitting antenna gain of HAPS GS needs to be reduced by at least about 15 dB or the carrier sensing threshold at HAPS GS needs to be decreased to about 0.3 dB to make DCA available. When FS HUB and SUB

34、 are located at Fband Fo, respectively (Fig. 7B), only HAPS GS at Gbinterferes FS HUB and HAPS GS at Gbcan sense both FS HUB signal and SUB signal. Therefore the DCA could be feasible.

These Figures show the following features: When the FS SUB and FS HUB are located at Fcand Fo, respectively (Fig. 8A), the FS SUB seriously receives interfer

40、S SUB signal in uplink of the FS system using FDD, the HAPS system can get channel information of FS HUB signal in downlink by sensing FS SUB signal. Fig. 8A b) shows that HAPS GS Rec. ITU-R F.1607 17 at Gaand Gccan sense the FS SUB signal when d 2 km. Therefore, DCA is feasible when d 2 km, the off

41、-axis transmitting antenna gain of HAPS GS needs to be reduced by at least about 15 dB or the carrier sensing threshold at HAPS GS needs to be decreased to about 0.3 dB to make DCA available. When FS HUB and SUB are located at Fcand Fo, respectively (Fig. 8B), HAPS GS at Gb, Gcand Gdinterfere FS HUB

42、 and HAPS GS at any location can sense both FS HUB signal. Therefore the DCA could be feasible.

46、from HAPS GS to FS stations in the 31 GHz band could be feasible in most of the patterns of station location in HAPS and FS systems, if HAPS GS have a function of carrier sensing in use by the FS system. The antenna and receiver for carrier sensing in HAPS GS may be shared with those for HAPS commun

47、ication link. It was found that carrier sensing at HAPS AS is not practical when HAPS GS could interfere FS stations. It was also found that there are some cases that HAPS GS cannot sense the FS signal and it interferes to the receiver in FS station. The interference could be avoided by using improv

48、ed antenna pattern in HAPS GS with low side and back lobes by at least 15 dB or by decreasing the carrier sensing threshold to about 0.3 dB. This carrier sensing threshold could be increased and relaxed if the side and back lobes of the antenna pattern in HAPS GS is raised by several dB. HAPS AS may not give serious interference to both FS HUB and SUB in any location scenario, so that sharing is feasible between them without special techniques.
