Signal-to-interference ratio
In today's world, Signal-to-interference ratio is a topic that is constantly evolving and that arouses great interest in society. Whether due to its historical relevance, its impact on popular culture or its influence on everyday life, Signal-to-interference ratio has managed to capture the attention of people of all ages and backgrounds. In this article, we will explore in detail the different aspects related to Signal-to-interference ratio, from its origin to its present day, analyzing its importance and impact on various aspects of modern life. Additionally, we will examine the role Signal-to-interference ratio plays in today's society and how it has influenced the way we think and act. Through in-depth and comprehensive analysis, we will be in a position to better understand the importance of Signal-to-interference ratio and its impact on the world around us.
The signal-to-interference ratio (SIR or S/I), also known as the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR or C/I), is the quotient between the average received modulated carrier power S or C and the average received co-channel interference power I, i.e. crosstalk, from other transmitters than the useful signal.[1][2]
The CIR resembles the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR or C/N), which is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N) of a modulated signal before demodulation. A distinction is that interfering radio transmitters contributing to I may be controlled by radio resource management, while N involves noise power from other sources, typically additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN).
Carrier-to-noise-and-interference ratio (CNIR)
The CIR ratio is studied in interference limited systems, i.e. where I dominates over N, typically in cellular radio systems and broadcasting systems where frequency channels are reused in view to achieve high level of area coverage. The C/N is studied in noise limited systems. If both situations can occur, the carrier-to-noise-and-interference ratio (CNIR or C/(N+I)) may be studied.
