    can anyone confirm if C/I= 12dB for GSM?
    can I interpret that if I got a wanted signal at -90dBm, the interference cannot be higher than -102dBm?

    Hi,
    In GSM the acceptable value of C/I is 12dB or higher. Allthough some vendors say that with hopping even 9dB or higher can be acceptable.

    This means if your serving frequency (C) should be at least 12dB higher than the interferer(I).

    So if you have a serving ARFCN at -90, then the interferer should be at -102 or lower.

    Does the interferer (I) mean co-channel ARFCN or adjacent channel?

    When you’re talking about C/I, it means co-channel. For adjacent channel , the relevant parameter is C/A.

    The term “I” indeed is the co-channel interferer. When we are talking about adjacent channel interference, the relevant parameter is C/A.

    What’s the C/A value for GSM, offset at 1 channel & 2 channels away?

    Usually the recommended value of C/A is 3dB. This is an Ericsson recommended value.

    Is it so low, 3dB? I thought it should be around 50-60dBc.

    Hi,
    I am afraid it is not 50-60. May be ,you could give me your mail id, I can send you a document dealing with C/A and C/I.

    I just read the GSM spec.
    C/A @ 200khz = 9db

    h,

    C/A is just the C/I with I = the adjacent freq.

    an ok value is C/A > -9dB, for speech purposes.

    You can find all the thresholds you need in 45.003 i believe.

    When predicting C/Ic=9dB for the purpose of frequency planning, one must keep in mind that a prediction is a prediction. In reality, the measured value can be higher or smaller with a probability of 50%. Theoretical mathematical calculation can show more details. Therefore it is better to predict a value higher than 9dB, at least 12dB or 18dB or more.

    9dB is for speech.. EGPRS can require a C/I up to 30dB ! (mcs9)
