Introduction to the LTE vs. ARNS problem WRC-12 AI 1.17 - to consider results of sharing studies between the mobile service and other services in the band 790-862 MHz in Regions 1 and 3, in accordance with Resolution 749 (WRC-07), to ensure the adequate protection of services to which this frequency band is allocated, and take appropriate action.

Introduction to the LTE vs. ARNS problem Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012
Introduction to the LTE vs. ARNS problem • Two approaches proposed by CPM-12: • coordination distances: 125 – 515 km (depending on ARNS system and scenario) • coordination field strength triggers • aggregate values – eg. 13 dBµV/m @ 10m in 6 MHz RBW for RLS1 radar; • single values – eg. -24.24 dBµV/m @ 10m for ARNS terrestrial station Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012

Aims of the measurements: • to analyse an impact of the LTE system on the radar system; • to determine/assess the maximum level of the interfering signal. Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012
What did we have? • 4 ARSN systems operating in Poland; • agreement of the army on measurements (with some restrictions); • LTE test terminals (provided by the operator); • LTE signal generator (provided by Nokia Siemens Networks Poland); • ARNS’s system operators/service staff. Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012
What did we NOT have? • detailed knowledge about the ARNS systems; • documentation of the ARNS systems; • specialists in old ARNS systems; • compatibility criteria(!). Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012

Scenario ARNS ground station LTE terminal/signal generator Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012
Object of the measurements • RSP-10 MN-1 radar system: • primary (RLS1) / secondary (RLS2) radar; • only RLS1 module currently in use; • radiolocator for traffic controllers; • less than 100 km operational radius; • is going to be replaced by modern systems.

Measurement I (Toruń, 15-16.02.2011) • The radar under maintenance works; • Direct connection to the radar receiver. Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012

Measurement I (Toruń, 15-16.02.2011) Pol H: E = 24.6dBμV/m Pol V: E = 48.6dBμV/m Sensitivity: -92.3 dBm Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012
Measurement II (Malbork, 17-18.02.2011) • Operating radar used by military airfield in Malbork Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012
Measurement II (Malbork, 17-18.02.2011) • The radar in „receive-only” mode: • very optimistic results (allowable interference > 50 dBµV/m); • Received interference’s level dramatically higher when it works in regular „send-and-receive” mode; • there was no ability to repeat the measurements. Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012
Measurement III (Toruń, 30.03.2011) • Operating radar (after maintenance works); • Measurements similar to ones performed in Malbork; • LTE terminals as interfering transmitters. Mateusz Berlik, UKE :: Warsaw, 7 - 9 May 2012

Summary • Because of the lack of the technical compatibility criteria, it was difficult to use the results as a point in discussion. • General conclusions: • LTE terminal does really interfere RSP-10 radar; • allowable interference field strength is probably higher than protection level from the CPM-12 Report. • The results were useful for our administration.
