Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The 3.5 GHz band is one of the most popular frequency bands for initial phase of 5G network development. The 3G Partnership Project, in its initiative embodied in Release 15 and Release 16, has identified three bands - n48, n77 and n78 for applications of various frequency channels at 3.5 GHz with TTD duplex mode [1], [2]. However, the exploitation of 3.5 GHz band seems to have entailed some issues related to the electromagnetic compatibility, in particular, with regards to compatibility of FSS earth station receivers in space-to-Earth links. The following allocation of 3.5 GHz band to fixed-satellite service (FSS) took place in compliance with Article 5 (No. 5.431) of Radio Regulations [3] and ECA36 Footnote of The European Table of Frequency Allocations and Utilizations [4].The experimental studies conducted by the authors in order to assess the degree of interference impact deriving from 5G transmitters on Earth Station (ES) receivers of fixed-satellite service within 3.5 GHz band have made new contribution to elaboration of protection criteria to determine the EMC between FSS ES and 5G.Thus, for the purposes of settling this EMC matter by territorial location limitation of 5G transmitters, the researchers are proposing additional technical methods, focusing on additional filters application for FSS receivers, hereby reducing negative impact of interference 5G transmitters on FSS ES receivers within 3.5 GHz band.
