This paper deals with the proposal and performance evaluation of a fixed microwave communication (FMC) system that shares the same bandwidth as that of an existing UMTS network. The main application of the FMC system is for wireless connections between remote base stations and a core network access point for an UMTS network implementation in a dense urban environment, where a wired connection could be very expensive for service providers. Besides, sharing of the same frequency band could be attractive for the actual cost and lack of frequency spectrum. The mutual interference effects between the FMC and the existing UMTS systems are investigated by focusing on typical application scenarios. The performance for the two systems under consideration has been evaluated in terms of bit error rate by means of computer simulations for proposed receiving scheme where mutual interference are, firstly, detected and then canceled from the other system. The obtained results between the proposed FMC system and an existing UMTS network and the improvement of performance in terms of bit error rate with proposed receiving system.

Abstract
This paper deals with the proposal and performance evaluation of a fixed microwave communication (FMC) system that shares the same bandwidth as that of an existing UMTS network. The main application of the FMC system is for wireless connections between remote base stations and a core network access point for an UMTS network implementation in a dense urban environment, where a wired connection could be very expensive for service providers. Besides, sharing of the same frequency band could be attractive for the actual cost and lack of frequency spectrum. The mutual interference effects between the FMC and the existing UMTS systems are investigated by focusing on typical application scenarios. The performance for the two systems under consideration has been evaluated in terms of bit error rate by means of computer simulations for proposed receiving scheme where mutual interference are, firstly, detected and then canceled from the other system. The obtained results between the proposed FMC system and an existing UMTS network and the improvement of performance in terms of bit error rate with proposed receiving system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
