Coexistence Between DVB-T And LTE Services In a Shared Frequency Band And Their Measurement

Abstract

This work deals with exploring, measuring and evaluation of possible coexistence scenarios between Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile services, which can occur in a shared radio frequency (RF) bands. There are considered two different coexistence scenarios: partial overlapping and full overlapping RF spectrum. For the measuring, monitoring and evaluation of these scenarios, an appropriate laboratory workplace is proposed and realized. Experimental results show that the performance of DVB-T system is differently influenced by the interfering LTE services in considered coexistence scenario.
