Assessment of channel interference for Licensed Shared Access (LSA) in the 2.3–2.4 GHz band

This text simulates sharing conditions between incumbent spectrum user and mobile network operator (MNO) at the frequency band 2.3 - 2.4 GHz. The probability of interference between radio systems helps to determine appropriate frequency planning rules and specific limits for system performances. Due to rapid technology development in mobile devices and network technologies an explosive growth in mobile traffic demand has led to the need for more market driven approaches for spectrum access. European spectrum regulation administrations have started to consider the development of strategic approaches and policies for spectrum sharing under the Licensed Shared Access (LSA) framework. In Europe the 2.3-2.4 GHz band has been identified as the first potential application area for sharing between a MNO and incumbent spectrum users under LSA framework. Simulations are conducted to assess the sharing conditions between incumbent program making and special events (PMSE) services and entrant LTE (Long Term Evaluation) network. One difficulty in simulations is to describe occurancy of busy and idle periods of intended sharing systems.
