Performance evaluation of a TD-LTE/DTV heterogeneous system

This paper presents the performance evaluation of a TD-LTE/DTV heterogeneous system. Two coexisting scenarios are considered, DTV interfering with TD-LTE, and TD-LTE interfering with DTV. The TD-LTE uplink and downlink in both urban and rural environments are examined. Both the LTE capacity loss and DTV coverage loss are evaluated. Results are presented which indicate that the interference from DTV has a greater impact on the TD-LTE uplink than the downlink, and a DTV receiver is affected more seriously by the TD-LTE downlink.
