Theoretical computation of the coverage probability of a digital TVtransmitter in an analogue TV network using a stochastic approach

摘要

A theoretical computation method for a digital TV transmitter coverage probability is proposed. The computation make use of the assumption that the studied digital TV transmitter is sharing a co-channel frequency band with six surrounding analogue TV transmitters whose arriving signals are considered as co-channel uncorrelated interferers. Coverage probability expressions have been derived considering the digital TV signal as the wanted power and the remaining analogue TV signals as co-channel interferers. After several Monte Carlo simulation-based comparisons the utilized theoretical approach has shown to be in good agreement, with a much less important computation time
