10、 described in Annex 1. Annex 1 Development of the protection criteria for WAS/RLAN systems operating in the mobile service in accordance with Resolution 229 (WRC-03) in the bands 5 150-5 250 MHz, 5 250-5 350 MHz and 5 470-5 725 MHz 1 Analysis of typical WAS/RLAN range/data rate performance without i

11、nterference For typical WAS/RLAN system deployments, an appropriate path-loss model is free space (r2) up to a breakpoint of 5 m, and r4after that. This model offers a simple, but reasonably realistic approximation of propagation at the frequencies in question in a typical modern indoor office envir

12、onment consisting primarily of relatively open “cubicle” space with a variety of moderate obstructions and reflective surfaces. For WAS/RLAN systems operating under the provisions of Resolution 229 (WRC-03) the frequency of operation is in the 5 GHz range. As a representative system, for the sake of

13、 analysis, a system with 20 dBm transmit power, a 20 MHz bandwidth, a 5 dB noise figure, and 0 dBi antennas at both ends of the link between the WAS/RLAN transmitter and the intended receiver is modelled. Given these basic system parameters, and the required S/N ratio to achieve various standard dat

14、a rates, the achievable ranges at those various standard data rates without interference are given in Table 1. TABLE 1 Achievable range vs. data rate without interference Data rate (Mbit/s) Required S/N (dB) Range (m) 54 25 29.1 48 22 34.6 36 19 41.1 24 16 48.8 18 13 58.0 12 10 68.9 9 8 77.4 6 5 91.

15、9 Rec. ITU-R M.1739 3 2 Analysis of typical WAS/RLAN range and/or data rate degradation with interference A 5% reduction in the range at which a given data rate can be maintained compared to the non-interfered range achievable at the same data rate is considered to be an acceptable level of degradat

16、ion for WAS/RLAN systems to tolerate from services or applications from which WAS/RLAN systems are entitled to protection. However, larger degradations in range, or reductions in rate at range, would be considered unacceptable because they would represent too large an adverse impact on WAS/RLAN syst

17、em performance (technically and/or economically). To determine what level of interference would result in a 5% reduction in range at standard data rates, we can calculate what reduction in signal power (this is equivalent to a rise in the noise floor since both result in a reduced link budget) would

18、 produce the required S/N at this reduced range. TABLE 2 Range reduction vs. link budget reduction Data rate (Mbit/s) Range reduced by 5% (m) Link budget reduction (dB) 54 27.6 0.90 48 32.8 0.90 36 39.0 0.90 24 46.4 0.88 18 55.1 0.89 12 65.5 0.89 9 73.5 0.89 6 87.3 0.90 This reduction in the link bu

19、dget can be related to an interference power in the following way. Consider a receiver with a noise floor (based on the noise bandwidth and thermal noise) of N dB. Imagine also that this receiver is subjected to a level of noise within that bandwidth at the level of I dB. This interference, I dB, wi

20、ll lead to a rise in the noise floor of R dB above the thermal noise level of N dB. )10(log10)1010(log1010/10/10/ NINR += )10(log)1010(log1010/10/10/ NINR += +=10/10/10/10)1010(log10NINR )101(log1010/)( NIR+= or )110(log1010/=RNI 4 Rec. ITU-R M.1739 Using this expression it is possible to relate the

21、 rise in the noise floor resulting in the 5% reduction in range to an equivalent amount of interference in the receiver, relative to the noise floor. Those levels are: TABLE 3 Link budget reduction vs. I/N ratio Data rate (Mbit/s) Link budget reduction (dB) I/N (dB) 54 0.90 6.4 48 0.90 6.4 36 0.90 6

22、4 24 0.88 6.5 18 0.89 6.4 12 0.89 6.4 9 0.89 6.4 6 0.90 6.4 Thus, a 5% reduction range reduction at any standard WAS/RLAN data rate will result from an interfering signal about 6.5 dB below the WAS/RLAN receivers noise floor. 3 Analysis of the effects of different propagation models on the results

23、This same calculation can be repeated for different propagation models. For instance, instead of r4propagation, the effects of r3.2propagation can be evaluated as follows: TABLE 4 Range/rate degradation of 5% for path loss exponent = r3.2Data rate (Mbit/s) Required S/N(dB) Range (m) Range reduced by

25、the I/N ratio requirement has become more stringent by approximately 1 dB. Rec. ITU-R M.1739 5 The effects of using free space (r2) propagation can be evaluated as follows: TABLE 5 Range/rate degradation of 5% for path loss exponent = r2Data rate (Mbit/s) Required S/N (dB) Range (m) Range reduced by

26、 5%(m) Link budget reduction (dB) I/N (dB) 54 25 169.0 160.6 0.45 9.6 48 22 238.8 226.8 0.45 9.6 36 19 337.3 320.4 0.45 9.6 24 16 476.4 452.6 0.45 9.6 18 13 673.0 639.3 0.45 9.6 12 10 950.6 903.1 0.45 9.6 9 8 1 196.8 1 136.9 0.45 9.6 6 5 1 690.5 1 606.0 0.45 9.6 In the case of the most optimistic pr

27、opagation model (free space propagation) the required I/N ratio has become even more stringent. 4 Summary of the results of the interference analysis It can be seen from these results that if more optimistic (closer to free space) propagation models are assumed, the more the impact of interference s

28、ources on WAS/RLAN performance increases and the more negative the I/N ratio must be to keep the adverse effects on the WAS/RLAN system within acceptable bounds. Since the model used in the initial example (free space (r2) up to a breakpoint of 5 m, and r4after that) is typical for areas where large

29、 numbers of WAS/RLAN devices are being, and will increasingly be, deployed, and offers a less stringent I/N ratio compared to more optimistic propagation models (approaching free space propagation), it is reasonable to set the protection criteria for WAS/RLAN devices on the basis of the effects of interferers in that propagation environment. Therefore, an I/N of 6 dB is appropriate for carrying out compatibility studies between WAS/RLAN systems operating under the mobile service and other services or applications in the 5 GHz range from which WAS/RLAN systems are entitled to protection.
