Study on coexistence between Long Term Evolution and Global System for mobile communication [articol]

Abstract

The massive development in mobile and personal communications and the emergence of a diversity of radio applications and services has led to an explosion in the number of base station sites and mobile stations and it is emphasizing the necessity for improvements in the way that network operators coexist. Sustaining future growth is strongly dependent upon the efficiency with which the radio spectrum is used. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the possibility of co-existence between the GSM and LTE systems using a software tool based upon Monte Carlo technique, so called the Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool (SEAMCAT), identify the potential problems that might occur and eventually draw conclusions and emphasize proper solutions for the occurred problems.
