This project characterizes cellular emissions (LTE uplinks) to support interference models used to coordinate commercial carrier deployments in the AWS-3 band (1755-1780 MHz band) with Department of Defense systems that remain in the band. This effort consisted of two parts: (1) A Factor Screening effort which identified the key factors impacting emissions, and (2) characterization of factors impacting UE uplink emissions when closed-loop power control is enabled in the cell, and models of the emissions over operational scenarios. The output of this work can aid in the development of emissions models and interference calculations in the AWS-3 band and beyond.
