Interference Measurement – Background Noise
[Link]; [Link]; [Link]

These counters includes three part:
Background noise: Always exist and should be a constant value
Neighbor users interference of UL: Uncertain value and related with neighbor UL loading and u
ser distribution
Other interference: Uncertain value, include external interference, PIM of own cell, PIM of o
ther sites or network, spurious interference, blocking interference, etc.
Background Noise formula
Background noise=-174+10lg(bandwidth)+Noise Factor=-174+10lg(180000)+3=-118.4 dBm
(RB bandwidth is 180k; and enodeB NF is 3 dB)
So, even no any interference and UL traffic of neighbors, the default value of RB level KPI is about
-118.4dBm.

Interference Type –LTE Internal PIM
If the transmit system is nonlinear, PIM exists. The possible reason might be PIM caused by Antenna,
jumpers, connector or bad installation quality, etc.
The L800 bandwidth is DL:811-821M; UL:852-862M, so at least 9 order PIM of DL will impact UL.
Highest Freq of each order IM:
IM3=831M
IM5=841M
IM7=851M
IM9=861M(Fall into UL bandwidth)

External wide-band Interference
Site FILIS21L&11L&31: Sharp and strong interference, and always exist.(more than
-75dBm)

Some Interference Spectrum Example – Wide-band
The snapshot was get by FFT scan
Site TEKOV21L, two interference with about 3M bandwidth

Appendix:
Some Interference Spectrum Example – Whole-band
The snapshot was get by FFT scan
Site KAVSK11L, always exist and 18dB higher than normal value.

Appendix:
External Interference Source-Geographical distribution
External wide-band Interference
At Antalya area, mass of seaside cells have serious interference and same d
irection, so doubt there are source of interference from sea.
