Probability of interference
The probability of interference could be calculated by the
ICE with reference to the following choice of input
parameters:
Calculation mode: compatibility or translation
Which type of interference signal is considered for calculation:
unwanted, blocking, intermodulation or their combination
Interference criterion: C/I, C/(N+I), (N+I)/N or I/N

Calculate iRSS unwanted
iRSS unwanted calculate the interfering power
received by the Victim receiver within its
bandwidth
iRSSunwanted = P+Ge+Gr-L
iRSSunwanted = 10(dBm/200kHz)+11+9(32.5+10log(32)+20log(1000))

In this example there is no bandwidth
correction factor to be applied to the calculation
of the iRSS unwanted since the Vr bandwidth
and the It reference bandwidth have the same
value (i.e. 200 KHz).

Calculate iRSS blocking (3/4)
Sensitivity mode:
Attenuation(f) = block(f) [dBm] sensvr [dBm] + C/(N+I) [dB]
Sensitivity = Noise Floor + C/(N+I)
Sensitivity = -110dBm + 16
= -94dBm
Attenuation (f ) = 40-(-94)+16= 150dB
iRSS blocking (fit) = Pe+Ge+Gr-L-Att (fit)
iRSS blocking = -54.5-150
= -204.5dBm

Calculate iRSS blocking (4/4)
Protection Ratio:
Attenuation(f) = block(f) [dBm] + C/(N+I) [dB] + 3dB
Attenuation(f) = 40 +16 +3 = 59 dB
iRSS blocking (fit) = Pe+Ge+Gr-L-Att (fit)
iRSS blocking = -54.5-59
= -113.5 dBm

Probability of interference
(1/2)
For the unwanted mode, the C/I can be derived as:
dRSS/iRSS unwanted = -53.5-(-77.5) = 24dB
Since the resulting C/I is above the protection criteria (19 dB), the
probability of interference is 0
It is also possible to derive the (N+I)/N= -77.5-(-100)= 22.5
(since I>>N). Since the (I+N)/N which is obtained is above the
protection criteria (3dB), the probability of interference is 1

Probability of interference
(2/2)
For the blocking mode, the C/I can be derived as:
dRSS/iRSS blocking = -53.5-(-113.5) = 60dB
Since the resulting C/I is above the protection criteria (19 dB), the
probability of interference is 0
It is also possible to derive the (N+I)/N= -113.5-(-100)= -13.5.
Since the (I+N)/N which is obtained is below the protection
criteria (3dB), the probability of interference is 0
