Rec. ITU-R M.1808 3 Annex 1 Representative techn

14、ical and operational characteristics of conventional and trunked land mobile systems operating in the mobile service allocations below 869 MHz to be used in sharing studies 1 Introduction The bands below 869 MHz that are allocated to the mobile service are often used for conventional and trunked lan

15、d mobile systems. These bands are also heavily used by public safety agencies, utilities and transportation companies because the propagation characteristics at these frequencies allow large area coverage with little infrastructure. Due to the wide variety of conventional and trunked land mobile sys

16、tems and equipment, it is difficult to use a single specific value for many characteristics, therefore a range of values, along with typical values are provided. When sharing studies are developed, appropriate consideration of the variable conditions encountered in the operating environment should b

17、e taken into account when choosing the characteristics for the land mobile station under study. To the extent possible, the actual performance and implementation specific characteristics of systems under consideration should be used. 2 Technical characteristics of conventional and trunked land mobil

18、e systems When performing sharing studies, the following technical characteristics of conventional and trunked land mobile systems should be used. 2.1 Interference criteria There are many methodologies used to ensure coexistence between conventional and trunked land mobile systems (e.g. field-streng

19、th contours, carrier-to-interference). For simplicity, an I/N of 6 dB could be used to determine the impact of interference. For applications with greater protection requirements, such as public protection and disaster relief (PPDR), an I/N of 10 dB may be used to determine the impact of interferenc

20、e. 2.2 Performance criteria Conventional and trunked land mobile systems are designed to meet certain performance criteria. For analogue systems this criteria is usually a SINAD value (dB). For digital systems a bit error rate (BER) is used (%). SINAD1is the ratio of the total received power (signal

21、 + noise + distortion) to the received unwanted power (noise + distortion). It is measured at the receiver audio output and provides a quantitative measurement of the quality of an audio signal. Report ITU-R M.358-5 suggests that a SINAD ratio of 12 dB is convenient for establishing degradation prot

22、ection for land mobile systems but SINAD values between 12 and 20 dB are often used when designing these systems. For digital modulation schemes, SINAD is inappropriate; therefore a BER is commonly used. This parameter is critical because, unlike analogue systems, there is no graceful degradation. T

23、here is 1SINAD is also used to measure the performance of land mobile equipment. Receiver parameters such as sensitivity and adjacent channel rejection are usually measured with respect to a 12 dB SINAD. 4 Rec. ITU-R M.1808 a breakpoint beyond which errors cannot be corrected which can result in a t

24、otal loss of intelligibility. Conversely, a decrease in overall BER can yield an increase in intelligibility. Typically, conventional and trunked land mobile systems are designed to achieve a BER of 2-5%. 2.3 Conventional and trunked land mobile equipment characteristics The technical characteristic

25、s for conventional and trunked land mobile base stations and mobile stations that should be used in sharing studies are provided in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix 1 of this Annex. 3 Operational characteristics of land mobile systems In performing sharing studies, the following operational characteristic

26、s of conventional and trunked land mobile systems should be taken into account. 3.1 Conventional systems Conventional systems allow a user the use of only one channel. If that assigned channel is already in use then the user must wait until the channel becomes available. Management of the channels u

27、sed in a conventional system is done by the users. 3.2 Trunked systems Trunked systems employ access control techniques to share channel capacity among multiple users. In a trunked system a control channel is used and the decision as to which channel is used is invisible to the user. The design of a

28、 trunked system allows it to support more users on fewer channels than a conventional system. High capacity mobile systems use trunking to increase the overall statistical traffic capacity. Interference cannot only affect an in-progress communication, but may also cause unused channels in a trunking

29、 group to be unavailable for subsequent legitimate uses, thereby limiting the capacity of the system for the duration of the interference. Interference to the control channel may result in loss of access to all channels on the trunked system. 3.3 Simulcast deployment Simulcast refers to a technique

30、that uses multiple base stations or repeaters with overlapping coverage, transmitting simultaneously and using the same frequency at every site. This technique is used to conserve frequencies. 3.4 Multicast deployment Multicast refers to a technique that uses multiple base stations or repeaters with

31、 overlapping coverage, transmitting simultaneously and using different frequencies at each site. Frequencies are reused in cellular pattern which ensures that the same frequency is never used in an adjacent cell. This technique is used where frequency availability is not a problem. 3.5 Repeater oper

32、ation Many land mobile systems involve the use of a high elevation repeater site to increase system coverage and/or overcome geographic propagation obstacles that prohibit line-of-sight communication. In practice, the source transmits to a repeater where the received signal is decoded and analysed t

33、o ensure it is valid for the system. If valid, the signal is encoded and retransmitted on a separate frequency to be received by the target, such as a fleet of mobiles or another repeater. Interference experienced early in this chain of events, can be retransmitted throughout the repeater Rec. ITU-R

34、 M.1808 5 system. Sharing studies involving repeater systems should consider whether there will be interference to the mobiles or the repeaters. 3.6 Voting receiver systems Voting is a technique used to provide reception over a wide area, to enhance talk-in performance, especially in public safety s

35、ystems. Multiple receivers are deployed throughout an area, to enable a portable radio to access a repeater or a base station anywhere in the coverage area. Typically, a signal is received by many receivers and a decision is made to use the best signal. Interference to any one of these receivers may

36、 block the wanted signal. 4 Antenna system 4.1 Antenna height Generally, in conventional and trunked land mobile systems the system coverage increases when the antenna height is increased. These systems usually consist of mobile and portable units located at or near ground level that communicate wit

37、h base stations located at higher elevations. Base station receive antennas are situated at much greater elevations than the mobile stations, especially for some wide-area systems with hill-top or building-top sites. Base stations at high elevations will likely receive greater interfering signals an

38、d be more susceptible to aggregate interference than a mobile unit. 4.2 Tower-top low noise amplifier (LNA) Mast-top LNAs are used to enhance received signal strength at base station receivers which effectively increases system coverage. Commercial amplifiers are generally designed to have a broad b

39、andwidth usually encompassing entire frequency bands and employ little to no filtering. Sharing studies must consider that unwanted signals will also be amplified indiscriminately. These unwanted amplified signals can also increase the incidence of (third-order) intermodulation interference in recei

40、vers and reduce the overall system receive sensitivity, also called desensitization. 6 Rec.
