Coexistence of DTT and Mobile Broadband: A Survey and Guidelines for Field Measurements
Table 2
Methods to study DTT-MBB coexistence.
| Method | Key strengths | Key weaknesses | Role in coexistence studies |
| Link budget analysis | Easiness. | Too simplified. | Initial determination of relevant coexistence scenarios. | Simulations | Low cost, allowing an extensive number of studies to be made. | Simplifications and assumptions lead to only directionally correct results; choosing relevant scenarios and parameters is difficult. | Providing the data primarily used in regulatory decision-making. | Laboratory measurements | Providing realistic information on DTT receiver performance. | Lack of real operating environment. | Determining receiver performance and behavior, providing realistic parameters for simulations. | Field measurements | Real operating environment and transmission equipment. | Expensive and time-consuming, limited statistical basis. | Validating coexistence study results, providing realistic parameters for simulations. |
