Cross-border interference between broadcasting and mobile services

This paper briefly introduces the cross-border interference issues between DVB-T broadcasting and mobile UMTS services, as a consequence of the WRC-07 which co-allocated the band 790-862 MHz (channels 61 to 69) to mobile services from June 2015. The basic criteria of broadcast network planning for DVB-T reception and the required interference protection from mobile UMTS services operating in the same frequency band as DVB-T are described in this paper. The aim of this paper is to show the interference conditions and coordination procedures in the case of using the frequency band 790-862 MHz for mobile services before the above mentioned June 2015.
