Global Ergodic Capacity Closed-Form Expression of Coexisting DVB-LTE-Like Systems

In this paper, we analyze the problem of deploying small cellular cells into a large broadcast cell in the framework of the convergence between the Long Term Evolution (LTE) and the Digital Broadcasting Video (DVB) technologies. In this work, a non- cooperative deployment of these technologies is considered in the sense that cellular and broadcast networks interfere on each other. In literature, there is no work dealing with the ergodic capacity of full cross-interfering links in a DVB-LTE convergence scenario. Our contribution lies in two folds: i) the global ergodic capacity is derived in closed-form with Rayleigh fading channel on each link. This derivation allows us to evaluate the global data rate of the DVB and LTE in a spectral overlap scenario. ii) The analytical forms allow the evaluation of the influence of system parameters on the global and broadcast data rate, e. g. mobile and broadcast power, distance between the broadcast receiver and the LTE base station.
