Coexistence Analysis between 5G System and Fixed- Satellite Service in 3400-3600 MHz

The 3400-3600 MHz band is one of the most important candidate frequency bands for the rollout of 5 G system. However, the coexistence between 5 G system and fixed-satellite service(FSS) in this frequency band is one of the most challenging problems for both academic researchers and industry engineers. In this paper, the saturation interference from 5 G base stations to the existing FSS above 3600 MHz is analyzed and the coexistence solution is achieved, which can reduce the interference and guarantee the coexistence between 5 G system and FSS. Furthermore, the Monte Carlo simulation, laboratory test and field test are carried out to verify the coexistence solution.Results show that an isolation distance of 1-2 km is required to avoid the saturation interference in terms of the adjacent bands scenario.To further reduce the isolation distance to 50 m, additional isolation of 35 dB will be necessary, which can be fulfilled by installing a filter at the input port of LNB from a real implementation perspective.

Propagation Characteristics of Elevation Angles and Three Dimensional Fading Channel Model with Angle Offset

Three dimensional(3D)Multiple Input and Multiple Output(MIMO)is one of the most promising techniques for the 5th generation(5G)mobile communication system.To support its research,the property of elevation angle in 3D channel model should be accurately modeled.Conventionally,3D channel is modeled with an assumption that the mean elevation angle of multipaths is coincided with the line-of-sight(LOS)direction.In order to investigate its authenticity and give the reliable 3D channel model,extensive 3D multiple antenna field channel measurements with 100 MHz bandwidth are conducted in three typical scenarios,including outdoor to indoor(O2I),urban microcell(UMi)and urban macrocell(UMa).The statistical characteristics and parameters are extracted and analyzed based on the measurement data.It is found that the assumption holds in the LOS condition.However,for non-line-of-sight(NLOS)condition,a difference exists between the mean elevation angle and the direction connecting transmitter and receiver,which is defined as the elevation angle offset.Then,the eigenvalue distribution and capacity are compared between the reconstructed 3D channels with and without elevation angle offset.Results show that the performance of 3D channel with angle offset fits the measurement data better whereas that without angle offset is underestimated.
