Resilience of LTE-A/5G-NR Links Against Transient Electromagnetic Interference

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents a comparative analysis of a long-term evolution advanced (LTE-A) and fifth-generation new radio (5G-NR), focusing on the effects of transient electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by catenary–pantograph contact in a railway environment.A software-defined radio (SDR)-based prototype was developed to evaluate the performance of LTE-A and 5G-NR links under the influence of transient interference. The results show that both links experience considerable degradation due to interference at different centre frequencies. Performance degradation is proportional to the gain of interference. The measurement results show that both links experience considerable performance degradation in the presence of transient EMI.
