  • Patent number: 8909155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of analyzing interference between heterogeneous wireless communication systems, including receiving, by an interference analysis unit, interference parameters from a parameter input unit; receiving, by the interference analysis unit, polarized information from a polarized information input unit and calculating a Polarized Mismatch Loss Factor (PMLF) between a transmission antenna of an interference transmitter and a reception antenna of a victim receiver; and analyzing, by the interference analysis unit, an interference influence of the interference transmitter on the victim receiver based on the interference parameters and the PMLF. In accordance with the present invention, an interference influence between heterogeneous wireless communication systems using different polarized waves can be precisely analyzed by incorporating a loss characteristic according to a polarized mismatch between transmission and reception antennas into the interference influence.

  • Patent number: 8848598
    Abstract: A method may include distributing a interfered terminal; calculating an initial signal-to-interference power ratio and a data throughput of the interfered terminal; distributing interfering terminals and an interfering link base station; calculating a final transmitting power of the interfering terminal through power control between the interfering terminal and the interfering link base station; calculating a path loss and a collision factor between the interfered terminal and the interfering terminal; and calculating a final signal-to-interference power ratio and a data throughput of the interfered terminal. Accordingly, it is possible to analyze interference in consideration of a terminal use pattern in view of presence of hot spots, and to provide basic data for setting an effective emission transmitting power level of the terminal and a protection band between the terminals since the signal-to-interference power ratio and the data throughput can be calculated through interference analysis.
