Abstract :
Digital dividend spectrum, that is released after the digitalisation of analog TV broadcasting is harmonized internationally for the use of Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. When LTE and digital television services operate in adjacent UHF bands, LTE transmitters can cause harmful interference to television reception. Thus in this paper, we study the compatibility of operating LTE services in the digital dividend spectrum identified in Australia based on the recently allocated band plan. We have used interference analysis method to calculate the minimum separation distance between LTE and DVB-T system and Monte Carlo Simulation for outage probability.
