Minimum field strength (C/N):
It is a minimum field strength level
which is necessary to fulfil the signal

Usable field:
Summation of the nusiance fields of the

certain summations algorithm (maximum,
simplified multiplication, ...)
It is the fieldstrength value which is
usable by a possible new site just to fulfill
the condition of coverage (C/I>0) by the
existing interferer situation.

Procedures of Summation for Interference Calculation
Interference Analysis
In modern Planning Tools, the cumulation of the single interfering
fields can be done in several different ways.
The various procedures differ in the way how simplifications are used
to minimize the calculation effort.
In the following a short overview is given for the procedures which
are most often used in interference calculations.

Summation Procedures
Non-statistical methods:
Maximum procedure
Power-sum method
Statistical methods:
Interference Analysis
Integration method
Log-normal method
Multiplication method
Simplified multiplication method
Simplified Log-normal method
Trilinear Log-normal method
Most use is made of the power-sum method and the
simplified multiplication method

Interference Analysis – Special Applications
Frequency Scan
Interference Analysis
This function is used to find out gaps in the frequency spectrum where new TV or FM
transmitters could be planned. At a desired transmitter site (transmitter coordinate) a
wanted transmitter calculation based on a frequency range given by the user is done
and the usable field strength calculated for each frequency point.

Network Processor
The Network Processor
• produces network-wide results out of the single-cell-based results
• allows to analyse the radio network
• allows to simulate changes of the network parameter
• allows to simulate changes of the network design
• allows to optimise the radio network
• allows to plan the future roll-out phases
• produces statistics on the selected results
Each Service needs an own service-specific Network Processor
