INTRODUCTION Th radio spctrum is a limitd and valuabl rsourc, and as a rsult of th drastic growth dmand for wirlss communication applications, radio spctrum rgulation and managmnt hav bcom incrasingly significant [1]. Du to scarcity of th frquncy spctrum, many bands ar allocatd for mor than on radio srvic and thrfor th sharing is ncssity. Th incrasd sharing of spctrum translats into a highr liklihood of usrs intrfring with on anothr [2]. WiMAX (worldwid introprability for microwav accss) is basd on IEEE 82.16 standard [3] rcntly considrd as th 3rd gnration broadband wirlss accss (BWA) systm dsignd mainly for wirlss mtropolitan ara ntworks (WMAN) [4]. WiMAX addrsss th last-mil BWA problm in mtropolitan aras and undrsrvd rural aras for th advantags of fast and cost-ffctiv dploymnt, it uss th band 35 MHz which is currntly allocatd to Fixd Wirlss Accss (FWA) systms. Thrfor, th impact of th intrfrnc of WiMAX as a nw tchnology on FWA systms and vic vrsa nds to b studid. Th intrst for th us of 35 Manuscript submittd Dcmbr 1, 27. This work was supportd in part by th Malaysian Communication and Multimdia Commission (MCMC). Z. A.

MHz band (34-38) for FWA/BWA applications has incrasd bcaus its larg siz, high dgr of rliability and wid covrag, particularly in gographical aras with svr rain. A diffrnt compatibility studis in th band 35 MHz btwn broadband FWA and othr srvics (point-to-point fixd links, lctronic nws gathring/outsid broadcasting systms, fixd satllit systms and radiolocation) wr rportd in [5], also impact from Ultra Wid Band (UWB) systms on BWA has bn studid in [6]. Han-shin Jo t al. [7] studid th coxistnc of orthogonal frquncy division multiplxing (OFDM)-basd systms byond 3G (B3G) and point-to-point fixd srvics in th band 35 MHz. Th rmindr of this papr is organizd as follows. In sction II, paramtrs of WiMAX (82.16) and FWA systms ar prsntd in dtail. Sction III is dvotd to discuss sharing critrion. Th mthod and procdur to do this work and th usd propagation modl as wll as spctral missions mask ar laboratd and dscribd in dtails in th sctions IV, V, and VI. Sharing and coxistnc scnarios and analyss as wll as th compatibility btwn WiMAX and FWA in co-channl and adjacnt channl ar xcutd in sctions VII and VIII. Finally, th conclusion is prsntd in sction IX. II. WIMAX AND FIXED SYSTEMS PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION In ordr to xamin coxisting and sharing issus, it is ncssary to clarify th paramtrs of WiMAX and FWA that will affct th intrfrnc lvl and critrion. A. Paramtrs of WiMAX WiMAX movs toward highr data rats through widr modulation bandwidths from 1.25 to 2 MHz for point-topoint and point-to-multipoint fixd applications. IEEE BWA working group [8] dfind th radio frquncy paramtrs and charactristics of WiMAX (fixd and mobil), this study will only focus on fixd WiMAX, and ths paramtrs ar shown in Tabl I for both transmittr and rcivr. As th systm can occupy a bandwidth up to 2 MHz w chos thr diffrnt channl bandwidths 3.5, 7, and 1 MHz (in ordr comparison with currnt FWA systm) ach with cntr frquncy of 35 MHz. Th spctral mission mask rquirmnts follow ETSI-EN32326-2 (EqC-PET=O, EqC- EMO=6) or Typ-G mask ETSI-EN3121 [9], [1] spcifications and according to [11].

Paramtrs of th Currnt FWA In Malaysia th frquncy rang 3.4-3.7 GHz is allocatd for FWA systms, it is dividd into sub-bands for duplx us (non duplx systms can still b usd in this band), 34 35 MHz paird with 35 36 MHz as wll as 36 365 MHz paird with 365 37 MHz. Ths FWA bands ar to b usd for dirct radio connction in th last mil btwn a fixd radio cntral station and subscribr trminal stations in a point-to-point and/or point-to-multipoint configuration. Countris hav various frquncy channl spacing within th 3.5 GHz bands 1.25, 1.75, 3.5, 7, 8.75, 1, 14, and 28 MHz can b usd according to capacity nds. Th spctral mission mask (is discussing in a nxt sction) rquirmnts follow ETSI-EN32326-2 (EqC- PET=O, EqC-EMO=4) [9] or Typ-F mask ETSI- EN3121 [1] spcifications according to [5]. W will focus on th paramtrs listd in Tabl II. III. SHARING CRITERION For discussion of various sharing scnarios, it is ncssary to dvlop appropriat ruls for sharing. Intrsystm intrfrnc can b dscribd as short trm or long-trm, th short- trm intrfrnc is rarly valuatd in th coordination litratur as it is vry much statistical in natur and not found for many srvics and will b spcific to th cass considrd [12], [13]. In this papr w considr long trm intrfrnc only. Th intrfrnc protction critria can b dfind as an absolut intrfrnc powr lvl I, intrfrnc-to-nois powr ratio, or carrir-to-intrfring signal powr ratio C/I as shown in Fig. 1 [13]. ITU-R Rcommndation F.758-2 dtails two gnrally accptd valus for th intrfrnc to thrmal-nois ratio () for long-trm intrfrnc into fixd srvic rcivrs. Whn considring intrfrnc from othr srvics, it idntifis an valu of 6 or 1 matchd to spcific rquirmnts of individual systms. This approach provids a mthod for dfining a tolrabl limit that is indpndnt of most charactristics of th victim rcivr, apart from nois figur. Each fixd srvic accpts a 1 dgradation (i.., th diffrnc in dcibls btwn carrir-to-nois ratio (C/N) and carrir to nois plus intrfrnc ratio C/(N + I) in rcivr snsitivity. In som rgard, an of 6 bcoms th fundamntal critrion for coxistnc [14], so it should b that [15]: I Figur 1: Intrfrnc protction critrions I N α (1) Whr I is th intrfrnc lvl in m, N is th thrmal nois floor of rcivr in m and α is th protction ratio in and hr has valu of which mans that th intrfrnc must b approximatly 6 blow thrmal nois as Fig. 1 shows. IV. METHOD AND PROCEDURE Th mthod consists in calculating th ratio and thn comparing it with th ncssary ( ) at th victim rcivr. Stp 1: Calculat th intrfrnc lvl I (m) at th victim rcivr by assssing th lvl of missions from th intrfrr falling within th victim rcivr bandwidth for both co-channl frquncy and adjacnt frquncy situations according to [7]: I C/I C/N ( Δ f ) = Pt + Gt + Gr + Mask( Δf ) + corr _ band Att Whr Pt: transmittd powr of th intrfrr in m, Gt: gain of th intrfrr transmittr in i Gr gain of th victim rcivr antnna in i Mask( f): attnuation of adjacnt frquncy du to mask whr ( f) is th diffrnc btwn th carrirs of intrfrr and th victim. corr_band: corrction factor of band ratio, whr corr_band= if BW intrfrnc < BW victim or corr_band=-1log(bw intrfrnc /BW victim ), if not.

SPECTRAL EMISSIONS MASKS Th spctral mission mask is a graphical rprsntation of a st of ruls that apply to th spctral missions of radio transmittrs. Such ruls ar st forward by rgulatory bodis such as FCC and ETSI. It is dfind as th spctral powr dnsity mask, within ± 25 % of th rlvant channl sparation (ChS), which is not xcdd undr any combination of srvic typs and any loading. Th masks vary with th typ of radio quipmnt, thir frquncy band of opration and th channl spacing for which thy ar to b authorizd. WiMAX and FWA masks according to [9] and [1] ar dpictd and tabulatd, whr spctrum masks for WiMAX is dclard in Tabl IV for thr channl bandwidths and 7 MHz channl spacing is only dpictd in Fig. 3 in ordr to compar that with FWA mask for 7 MHz which is shown in Fig. 4 and Tabl V. Th spctral mission mask is considrd in this study bcaus it may b usd to gnrat a worst cas powr spctral dnsity for worst cas intrfrnc analysis purposs, whr th coxistnc study can b applid by spctrum mission mask as an ssntial paramtr for adjacnt frquncy sharing analysis to valuat th attnuation of intrfrnc signal powr in th band of th victim rcivr.
