Interference handling
• Interference handling is needed when
• Interference can be handled with following features
– AMR FR / HR ( also capacity feature)
– SAIC/DARP
– DFCA
– Frequency Hopping

Features to be considered
AMR FR / HR
AMR Full Rate (AMR Quality & Coverage)
– AMR FR increases Spectral Efficiency (EFL)
– AMR FR increases indoor signal strength
– AMR FR increases the effective cell size
AMR Half Rate (AMR Capacity)
– AMR enables the usage of the half-rate more users without a
decrease in the voice quality

SAIC and DARP
SAIC = Single Antenna Interference
Cancellation
Generic term for a receiver algorithm in a handset
utilising one antenna
Nokia’s phase 1 SAIC is a proprietary algorithm
