10.3.1 Relative positioning of interfering link (Generic system)
- Former user (Deleted)
The relative position of the Victim Receiver (VLR) and the Interfering Transmitter (ILT) depends on the various options presented below. There is a unique simulation radius (Rsimu) contrary to the 2 coverage radius (one for the victim and one for the interferer link). This is illustrated below in Figure 223 for a generic system interfering with a second generic system.
See ANNEX 12: for further details on the algorithm and conventions.
Figure 223: Example of the simulation radius (VLR with ILT)
Depending on the system simulated several positioning options are possible when the generic system is the interferer and the victim is a generic system and cellular system as shown in Figure 224 and Figure 227 respectively.

Each interfering signal calculation results from the contribution of
- None: nactive interefering link transmitters located in a circular area with the simulation radius. You define yourself the radius. The random placement of the interefering link transmitters in this area is defined by the path azimuth and the path distance factor parameters.
See Annex A13.2.1 for detailed algorithm.

Set ILR at he center of the ILT distribution | - | Boolean | - | set the distance factor distribution of the ILT with regards to the VLR. It overwrites the settings in the transmitter to reveicer path of the interferer |
Path azimuth | Distribution or Scalar | Deg | Horizontal angle for the location of the ILT respect to the victim link. If constant, the Rx’s location will be on a straight line. If not, the location of the Rx will be on an angular area. (See Annex A12.3) | |
Path distance factor | Distribution or Scalar | Distance factor to describe path length between the ILT and VLR. This factor will be multiplied by Rsimu to obtain the coverage area. Therefore, the trialled distance between ILT and VLR will be Rsimu *Path factor. E.g. if user enters a distribution 0…1, then the distance will be between 0 and Rsimu. If the path factor is constant, the ILT will be located on a circle around the VLR which means that the distance between the ILT and VLR will not change | ||
Simulation radius | Rsimu | km | User defined | |
Number of active transmitter | nactive | Scalar | If nactive>1, this will result in spatially-independent generation of the specified number of Its, whereas the resulting total iRSS strength will be obtained by simple power summation of the individual iRSS signal values. | |
Minimum coupling loss | MCL | Distribution or Scalar | dB | The minimum path loss. It is used in the calculation of the effective path loss (Section 7.6) |
Protection distance | d0 | Distribution or Scalar | (km) | minimum protection distance between the victim link receiver and interefering link transmitter (Section A13.2.3) |
Use of polygon | You are also able to select a polygon shape as an alternative to the default circle. A various selection of polygon is available. You are able to rotate counter-clock wise (ccw) the polygon shape. | |||
Co-locate | This feature allows deploying two interferers at the same location and their two transmitters could be transmitting at the same time while having different transmitter characteristics (e.g. emission mask, antenna radiation pattern…) |
- Uniform density: Each interfering signal calculation results from the contribution of nactive interefering link transmitters uniformly located in a circular area. The parameters are taken from the system settings (see section A13.2.2.)

Interferes density | A simulation radius is calculated, Rsimu.

- Closest interferer: Each interfering signal calculation results from the contribution of just one interefering link transmitter. This ILT is randomly placed in a circular area with a simulation radius derived from the density of interferers. See Annex A13.2.4 for detailed alogorithm. The parameters are taken from the system settings (see section A13.2.4).

- Correlated : It is called the correlated mode. It means that the positions of the receiver and transmitter are geographically fixed with respect to each other (e.g. co-located or constantly spaced base stations). In the following four cases of fixed placement, the relative location of the two pair of transmitter and receiver is described by dX/dY displacement, with the origin being either on the Transmitter or Receiver of the victim link depending on the option selected;
