8.5.3.1.6 Explanation difference
For the 1.28 Mcps chip rate TDD option, one frame(10ms) consists of two subframes(5ms), and one subframe consists of 7 timeslots, (the structure of subframe is shown in TR 25.928). Considering the chip rate, the burst structure of 1.28 Mcps TDD for normal traffic is different from that of 3.84 Mcps TDD option, (the burst structure for normal traffic is shown in TR 25.928). So the propagation conditions, service mapping and simulation assumption of the measurement channel 12.2kps, 64pks, 144kps and 384kps should be different from those of 3.84 Mcps TDD option. As a result, the relevant parameters should be different.

9.1 General
To develop the 3GPP standard, all the relevant scenarios need to be considered and the most critical cases need to be identified for the various aspects of operation so that final parameters can be derived to meet both service and implementation requirements. Parameters possibly influenced by the scenarios are listed in 25.102, 25.105 and 25.945. These include, but are not limited to: - Out of band emissions; - Spurious emissions; - Intermodulation rejection; - Intermodulation between MS; - Blocking.

25.945
9.2.1 Overview of the simulation
The focus of the simulations in the first step is on coexistence of macro cells considering a vehicular environment (case 3: 120km/h) with speech users only. The simulation is a Monte-Carlo based snapshot method calculating CDFs for C/I for large numbers of stochastic mobile distributions over cells (including power control). It should be pointed out that no kind of synchronisation or coordination between the different systems is assumed in the coexistence simulations presented here and before. The goal of simulation procedure is to determine the relative capacity loss of a victim system for a considered link (uplink or downlink) due to the presence of a second system – the interfering system. The reference for the capacity loss is the capacity of the victim system alone without the interfering system. The capacity of the system is defined as the mean number of mobile stations per cell (i.e. the load in different cells may be different while the mean load, i.e. the total number of users in the simulated scenario, remains constant) that can be active at a time while the probability that the C/I of a mobile station falls below a given threshold C/Imin is below 5% (i.e the percentage of users which do not satisfy the C/I criteria for the speech service is 5%). This definition is different but strongly related to the so-called “satisfied user criterion” (i.e. 98% of all users have to be able to complete their call without being dropped due to interference). However the “satisfied user criterion” requires the mapping of C/I to BER/BLER values and time-continuous simulation techniques, while here a Monte Carlo snap shot method is used. The simulation is done in two steps: At first Nsingle the capacity of the single operator case (i.e. only the victim system is present) is determined which means that the capacity depends on the co-channel interference (i.e. there is no adjacent channel interference). The co-channel interference power itself depends on a number of parameters, especially on the number of mobiles, their position and their power control behaviour. Nsingle is the maximum mean number of mobiles per cell that can be active at a time in the single operator case. The second step is the calculation of the multi operator capacity (i.e. victim and interferer system are present) which means the maximum mean number of mobiles per cell Nmulti in the victim system that can be active at a time considering co-channel and adjacent channel interference. To determine Nmulti the multi operator simulation is started with Nmulti =Nsingle. Due to the additional adjacent channel interference the outage of users with C/I below the threshold C/Imin is increased compared to the single operator case (5%). By decreasing Nmulti until the outage of 5% is reached again the capacity loss due to adjacent channel interference can be determined. (The number of users in the interfering system is chosen in that way that a single operator simulation with this system would result in an outage of 5%.) Finally the relative capacity loss can be calculated as

As a first step concerning the minimum C/I ratio values of the 1.28 Mcps TDD system the following results were used: - UL (i.e. receiving BS): C/Imin = -4.9dB - DL (i.e. receiving MS): C/Imin = 0.3dB. Considering the mapping of the information data bits for the 12.2kbps service in UL and DL: 244 bits are mapped on 536 bits. We assumed in a first approach that for a 8kbps speech service 244*(8kbps/12.2kbps) bits are mapped on 536bits which results in a subtraction of 1.83dB for the both C/Imin values mentioned before which finally leads to the values in the table. The ACLR and ACS values were taken from the specifications TS 25.101, TS 25.102, TS 25.104, TS 25.105 and this report. For the investigations the cluster size of the 1.28 Mcps TDD, i.e. the reuse of a frequency channel, may be chosen to be 1 (like for 3.84 Mcps TDD) or 3 (since the 1.28 Mcps TDD has one third of the bandwidth of the 3.84 Mcps TDD).

9.2.3 Scenarios
Figure 9.1 The scenarios considered in this document refer to the frequency range about 1920 MHz where TDD and FDD are allocated in adjacent frequency bands. Since the TDD band may be used for uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) communication 3 different scenarios are of interest depending on which station (MS or BS) is receiving (RX) or transmitting (TX): - TDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to FDD BS (RX of UL) - FDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to TDD BS (RX of UL) - FDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to TDD MS (RX of DL) The reason for the adjacent channel interference is the non-ideal rise of transmit and receive filter flanks so that a leakage of transmitted power is the adjacent frequency band and a reception from adjacent frequency bands can not entirely be prevented. To limit this interaction between different frequency bands ACLR (adjacent channel leakage power ratio) requirements for the transmitter and ACS (adjacent channel selectivity) requirements for the receiver are specified (see section before). In the simulation for the 1.28 Mcps TDD mode spectrum emission masks are used fulfilling the ACLR requirements given in the section before. Due to the adjacent channel interference superimposing with the co-channel interference contributions received both in the used frequency band it might happen that at the considered receiver station the C/I ratio is below a minimum C/I ratio (see section before) which is necessary for the considered service. The percentage of these users is called ‘outage’. The used Monte-Carlo based snapshot simulator determines at first for a given outage or noise raise the mean maximum number of mobiles per cell which can be active without adjacent channel interference (single operator case). Usually an outage of 5% or a noise raise of 6dB (especially for FDD BS as victim, i.e. UL in FDD) is considered for a realistic maximum load of the cell. Afterwards the mean number of users for the same outage/noise raise (as in the single operator case) is calculated taking into account the co-channel and the additional adjacent interference of the interferer system (multi operator case).

Considering the mapping of the information data bits for the 12.2kbps service in UL and DL: 244 bits are mapped on 536 bits. For an 8kbps speech service we assumed in a first approach that: 244 x (8kbps / 12.2kbps) bits are mapped on 536bits which results in a subtraction of 1.83dB for the both C/Imin values mentioned before which finally lead to the values in the table. For the 3.84 Mcps TDD system the minimum C/I requirements were taken from [8]. The ACLR and ACS values were taken from the specifications 25.102, 25.105 for 3.84 Mcps TDD and the report 25.945 for 1.28 Mcps TDD. The cluster size of the 1.28 Mcps TDD, i.e. the reuse of a frequency channel, may be chosen to be 1 (like for 3.84 Mcps TDD) or 3 (since the 1.28 Mcps TDD has one third of the bandwidth of the 3.84 Mcps TDD). In our investigations we take cluster=1 as a first approach.

9.3.3 Scenarios
Figure 9.2 The scenarios considered in this section refer to the frequency 1915MHz where 1.28 Mcps TDD and 3.84 Mcps TDD may be allocated in adjacent frequency bands. In a first step the 1.28 Mcps TDD system is assumed to be a victim for ajacent channel interference of a 3.84 Mcps TDD system. Since the TDD band may be used for uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) communication 3 different scenarios are of interest depending on which station (MS or BS) is receiving (RX) or transmitting (TX): - 3.84 Mcps TDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to 1.28 Mcps TDD BS (RX of UL) - 3.84 Mcps TDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to 1.28 Mcps TDD MS (RX of DL) - 3.84 Mcps TDD BS (DL TX) causes interference to 1.28 Mcps TDD MS (RX of DL) In a second step the 3.84 Mcps TDD system is the victim system suffering from adjacent channel interference of the 1.28 Mcps TDD system. Here 3 further cases need to be investigated: - 1.28 Mcps TDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to 3.84 Mcps TDD BS (RX of UL) - 1.28 Mcps TDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to 3.84 Mcps TDD MS (RX of DL) - 1.28 Mcps TDD BS (DL TX) causes interference to 3.84 Mcps TDD MS (RX of DL)

9.4.3 Scenarios
Figure 9.3 In this section a scenario of two 1.28 Mcps TDD operators in the same geographic area is investigated. For both systems apart from the frequency bands the same rf parameters and again no synchronisation or coordination is assumed. Since the TDD band may be used for uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) communication 3 different scenarios are of interest depending on which station (MS or BS) is receiving (RX) or transmitting (TX): - 1.28 Mcps TDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to 1.28 Mcps TDD BS (RX of UL) - 1.28 Mcps TDD MS (UL TX) causes interference to 1.28 Mcps TDD MS (RX of DL) - 1.28 Mcps TDD BS (DL TX) causes interference to 1.28 Mcps TDD MS (RX of DL)

9.5.1.2 Conclusion
The focus of these investigations is on speech users in macro cells for a vehicular propagation environment. The results show reasonable capacity loss values, even without coordination or time alignment between the victim and the interferer system.
