Abstract
The interference power estimation apparatuscalculates an inter-station vector from an interfering station over a sphere to an interfered station installed in the sphere based on a position of each station. In a case where a line segment connecting the position of the interfered station and the position of the interfering station does not intersect with the sphere, an angle between an antenna direction vector representing a direction of an antenna from the position of the interfered station and the inter-station vector is derived, and a sum of an antenna directivity attenuation amount obtained based on the angle and propagation losses calculated based on a distance between the interfered station and the interfering station is calculated. The interference power estimation apparatuscalculates the sum for each of a plurality of possible positions of the interfering station, but does not calculate the sum in a case where the line segment connecting the position of the interfered station and the position of the interfering station intersects with the sphere. The interference power estimation apparatuscalculates interference power from the interfering station, based on a minimum value of the calculated sum.
