SAIC Overview
SAIC = Single Antenna Interference Cancellation
Generic term for a receiver algorithm utilising one
antenna (in a handset)
Nokias phase 1 SAIC is a proprietary algorithm
DARP = Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance
3GPP standardized feature for 2G utilising SAIC and
uplink signalling
Introduced in Rel-6 as release independent feature
Can be introduced to terminals supporting earlier 3GPP
releases

SAIC
Benefits
SAIC will improve call quality (better FER) at low SAIC terminal penetration rate
(specially when DL Power Control is not used)
When DL PC is used, the transmission power for SAIC terminals can be reduced
Overall DL interference in network is decreased
Call quality of legacy terminals is improved
SAIC terminals perform in quality conditions that would not be good enough for
legacy terminals, i.e. DL Power Control is not any more usable nor are the
quality based handovers possible
When the terminal penetration rates grow, SAIC starts to provide system
capacity gain
The spectral efficiency can be improved by increasing the frequency reuse (with DL
PC) in DL interference limited network
Simulated capacity gain with full SAIC penetration is 50-60 %
