14、ference evaluation from systems in the FS using HAPS to FWA systems (P-MP) in the bands 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31-31.3 GHz 1 Introduction This Annex provides a methodology for interference evaluation, technical parameters, and operational techniques to be used for sharing studies between systems in the

15、FS using HAPS and FWA systems operating in P-MP in the bands 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31-31.3 GHz. P-MP systems normally consist of one base station and several subscriber stations. In the FWA system, there is no rule to use these two frequency bands between FWA base station and FWA subscriber station. Th

16、erefore, all interference situations have to be considered. 2 Calculation methodology of interference from HAPS-based system to FWA system (P-MP) 2.1 Interference from HAPS airship to FWA station The interference power from the spot beam of HAPS airship to FWA station, I (dB(W/MHz), is obtained by e

24、luation 3.1 HAPS system The parameters of HAPS system are described in Recommendation ITU-R F.1569. 3.2 FWA system with P-MP operation Section 1 in Appendix 2 describes the assumed parameters of the FWA system with P-MP operation to carry out the interference evaluation, which includes base station

25、and subscriber station. As for the FWA base station, the following three cases are considered from the viewpoint of antenna beam pattern and scheme of frequency reuse. Herein, it is assumed that the base stations are geographically installed every 2 km. Case a): Assumed antenna beam pattern is based

26、 on Recommendation ITU-R F.1336 and frequency reuse is seemed to be comparatively realistic (segmented 4 4 frequency bands are used by four base stations and its antenna beam is 90 sector: a group of four stations is repeatedly installed). Case b): Assumed antenna beam pattern is based on Recommenda

27、tion ITU-R F.1336 and all base stations use same frequency assigned for the base station (therefore, omni pattern is assumed in azimuth direction). Case c): Assumed antenna beam pattern is a reasonably realistic one, which many service providers would adopt (not listed in Recommendation), and freque

28、ncy reuse scheme is the same as in Case a). 4 Examples of calculation result in the case of FWA system with P-MP operation This section shows examples of calculated I/N characteristics and required separation distance. Regarding the system parameters of the FWA system with P-MP operation, three Case

29、s a), b) and c) are considered for the base station. It is also supposed that the same type of FWA subscriber station is used for three base stations. 4.1 Interference from HAPS airship to FWA system In examination of the interference from the HAPS airship to the FWA base station, it is supposed tha

30、t 11 21 HAPS airships are deployed in the area of 500 km 1 000 km. The I/N characteristics are evaluated as a function of distance between the FWA station and the nadir point of the HAPS airship locating in the middle of the 1 000 km side. Through the calculation, it is assumed that the main beam of

31、 the FWA base station always directs toward the horizontal direction. On the other hand, it is supposed herein for the sake of the worst-case analysis that the FWA subscriber station directly points the HAPS airship up to 60 in elevation. 4.1.1 Interference from HAPS airship to FWA base station Figu

32、res 1 and 2 show the I/N characteristics of the FWA base station of Cases a) and b) respectively, when it is subject to the interference from 11 21 multiple HAPS airships (refer to Fig. 3). The notation “front” in Fig. 1 means that the base stations point toward the centre of multiple HAPS airships

33、face-to-face in azimuth direction. The “side” and “back” indicate the Rec. ITU-R F.1609-1 5 conditions that the base station sees the airship on its side and at its back, respectively. The indicated I/N shows the worst value among all spot beams of HAPS airships using frequency reuse scheme. From bo

34、th Figures, it is seen that the maximum I/N is about 15 dB. Therefore, under the conditions made here, it is said that the multiple HAPS airships may not give serious interference to the FWA base station. It is noted that front is equal to side and back in Fig. 2, because the antenna pattern is assu

35、med to be omni characteristics in azimuth direction. When the reasonably realistic beam pattern is used for the FWA base station as in Case c), the I/N is slightly reduced as shown in Fig. 4. In Case c), the maximum I/N is about 20 dB. 6 Rec. ITU-R F.1609-1 Rec. ITU-R F.1609-1 7 4.1.2 Interference f

36、rom HAPS airship to FWA subscriber station Concerning the I/N characteristic of the FWA subscriber station, when interfered from a single HAPS airship, the worst I/N becomes a large value of about 30 dB as shown in Fig. 5. It is due to larger antenna gain of the FWA subscriber station than that of t

37、he base station and to the assumption that the FWA subscriber antenna directly points the HAPS airship with limitation of maximum elevation angle of 60. Therefore, the HAPS airship will induce large interference to the subscriber station when the same frequency is used. It is noted in Fig. 5 that th

38、e distance of 200 km corresponds to the transition point for the use of 30 cm diameter antenna to that of 60 cm diameter antenna (refer to Note 1 of Table 2). 8 Rec. ITU-R F.1609-1 4.2 Interference from HAPS ground station to FWA system Regarding the interference from the HAPS ground station to the

39、FWA station, analysis is carried out only for the condition of line of sight. Furthermore, it is assumed that the altitude of the HAPS ground station and that of the FWA station (base station and subscriber station) is the same and that the antenna gain of the FWA base station directing toward the H

40、APS ground station is the same in the three Cases of a), b) and c). The calculation is made for only the case of the single entry, under the condition that the two stations, which are the HAPS ground station with elevation angle of more than 20 and the FWA station pointing horizontal direction, poin

41、t face-to-face in azimuth. The assumed I/N value for this analysis is 15 dB. 4.2.1 Interference from HAPS ground station to FWA base station Figure 6 shows the required separation distance when the HAPS ground station gives interference to FWA base station. Using the assumed I/N of 15 dB and the ass

42、umed minimum elevation angle of 20, the separation distance is about 5 km. Considering that the FWA base station is installed repeatedly with frequency reuse by distance of 2-3 km, coexistence of the FWA base station and the HAPS ground station would be difficult unless any interference mitigation t

43、echniques are introduced. Rec. ITU-R F.1609-1 9 4.2.2 Interference from HAPS ground station to FWA subscriber station Figure 7 shows the required separation distance when the HAPS ground station gives interference to the FWA subscriber station using the assumed I/N of 15 dB. Using the assumed I/N of

44、 15 dB and the elevation angle of 20, the separation distance is about 80 km. Coexistence of the FWA subscriber station and the HAPS ground station is impossible without interference mitigation techniques. 10 Rec. ITU-R F.1609-1 5 Summary This Annex shows a method to evaluate interference from the H

45、APS transmitters into FWA receivers (P-MP) in terms of I/N and evaluates the required separation distance for some assumed deployments of FWA stations and HAPS stations. Annex 2 Methodology for interference evaluation from systems in the FS using HAPS to FWA systems (P-P) in the bands 27.5-28.35 GHz

46、 and 31-31.3 GHz 1 Introduction This Annex provides a methodology for interference evaluation, technical parameters, and operational techniques to be used for sharing studies between systems in the FS using HAPS and FWA systems operating in P-P in the bands 27.5-28.35 GHz and 31-31.3 GHz. A P-P syst

47、em consists of one pair of two radio stations directing face-to-face (in this Annex, this radio station is called FWA station for the sake of simplicity). 2 Calculation methodology of interference from HAPS-based system to FWA system (P-P) Since the calculation methodology of interference between th

48、e HAPS system and FWA system with P-P operation is the same as that described in 2 in Annex 1, therefore the equation for calculation is herein omitted. 3 Assumptions for interference evaluation 3.1 HAPS system The parameters of HAPS system are described in Recommendation ITU-R F.1569. 3.2 FWA syste

49、m with P-P operation Section 2 in Appendix 2 describes the assumed parameters of the FWA system with P-P operation to carry out the interference evaluation. 4 Examples of calculation results in the case of FWA system with P-P operation 4.1 Interference from HAPS airship to FWA system In examination of the interference from the HAPS airship to the FWA station, the I/N characteristics are evaluated as a function of distance between the FWA station and the nadir point of the HAPS airship.
