IMT to Satellite Stochastic Interference Modeling and Coexistence Analysis of Upper 6 GHz-Band Service by Reza Aghazadeh Ayoubi, Dario Tagliaferri, Filippo Morandi, Luca Rinaldi, Laura Resteghini, Christian Mazzucco, Umberto Spagnolini

“…Furthermore, we propose an approximate geometrical-based stochastic model of interference (GSMI) as an alternative method to SMI when the clutter-loss distribution is unavailable. Our results indicate that given the typical international mobile telecommunication (IMT) parameters, the aggregated interference power toward the geostationary (GEO) SATs, is well below the relevant protection criterion, and we prove numerically that the GSMI method overestimates the aggregated interference power with only 2 dB compared to the SMI method.…”
