Interference Simulation from LTE to Digital Terrestrial Television

In this paper, simulation is conducted to study the interference to digital television (DTV) system due to the introduction of Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. Access coverage loss curves and capacity performance of DTV system are plotted with Adjacent Channel Interference Ratio (ACIR). The results indicate that minimum interference effects on DTV system can be achieved when deploying LTE system on its adjacent channels if proper separation is kept.
