Co-existence of MP- MP and PMP Systems Philip Whitehead Radiant Networks PLC
Definition: The ability of two (or more) systems to operate in the presence of mutual interference with acceptable degradation of performance Two main scenarios Systems operating on the same channels in adjacent or nearby areas. Systems operating in overlapping areas and using adjacent or near- adjacent channels. Coexistence
No base stations Short paths All antennas are directional Low antenna heights Low transmitter power Very good frequency re-use Detect and avoid interference Improved co-existence General Characteristics of Mesh Systems
Mesh and PMP systems can easily co-exist Guard bands can be reduced or even zero Co-channel systems can be very close together (closer than PMP – PMP) Rain fading has negligible impact Main conclusions from the study
Simulation of (random) mesh with large number of subscribers 20GHz - 43.5GHz considered – results presented for 28GHz band Multiple interferers 3-D geometry Effects of buildings (LOS probability calculated) Atmospheric attenuation and rain fading according to ITU-R Methodology

A mesh can be placed close to a PMP system, with negligible interference Spacing can be even less when the mesh uses “self adaptation” (down to zero?) Mesh antenna RPEs are not critical (low cost antennas can be used) Rain fading effects are negligible. Co-channel conclusions
Mesh to PMP hub (50m elevation) dry weather, adjacentchannel
Mesh to PMP hub (50m elevation) dry weather, adjacentchannel Mesh to PMP hub (50m elevation) dry weather, adjacentchannel
Mesh to 50m PMP hub: uniformly wet weather, single-channel guard band
Mesh to 25m PMP hub: uniformly wet weather, single-channel guard band
Guard band of zero to one channel is sufficient for a “random” mesh Self- adapting mesh can work with zero guard band Antenna RPEs not critical (low cost antennas possible) Rain fading effects are negligible Conclusions for Overlapping systems
