On the UMTS Downlink Capacity in (Open Rural and Countryside) Zone Near Deep Space Network (DSN) Installations

The UMTS macrocell downlink capacity is evaluated for macrocellsthat operate at the same frequency as the Deep Space Network (DSN) andthat are nearby the DSN installations. It has been found that the cellcapacity is not affected when the distance between the DSNinstallations and the macrocell is mor...

Description
Summary:The UMTS macrocell downlink capacity is evaluated for macrocellsthat operate at the same frequency as the Deep Space Network (DSN) andthat are nearby the DSN installations. It has been found that the cellcapacity is not affected when the distance between the DSNinstallations and the macrocell is more than 21 km. For lower distance,the effect is high and the downlink vanishes at a distance less than 2km when the microcell radius is 1 km. Near the DSN installation, themacrocell radius has to be 1 km or less.
