An Advanced MCL Method for Assessing Interference Potential of OFDM-Based Systems beyond 3G with Dynamic Power Allocation

In this paper, the advanced general analytical method, namely advanced minimum coupling loss (A-MCL) method is proposed. The A-MCL method utilizes a power spectral density (PSD) analysis, and bears two advantages, compared to the conventional minimum coupling loss (MCL) method. First, it can calculate out of band emissions from the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based systems beyond 3G (B3G) without a spectrum emission mask. Secondly, it can be applicable to coexistence analysis of OFDM-based systems using a dynamic power allocation scheme with other systems. Moreover, interference power is derived in a closed form, rendering easy and straightforward calculations
