Coexistence of Korea's LTE System and Japan's DTV System

In this letter, the amount of interference and an analytic methodology from a combination of Korea's LTE system and Japan's digital terrestrial TV broadcasting system using the 700 MHz frequency band are established when considering a practical deployment of both systems. We performed Monte-Carlo simulations on the throughput loss to evaluate how much interference radiating from Japan's DTV is imposed on the Korean LTE system. The results of the established methodology can be used as a guideline for allowing the deployed LTE system to avoid an unacceptable amount of interference.
