Abstract
The article presents a cross-section of methods used to identify and assess the probability of interference radio communication in GSM-R network. The article proposes different approaches in identifying areas susceptible the interferences by conducting research in three areas: theoretical (using geographical method and propagation models), simulation (using advanced measuring equipment and software) and measuring (based on field tests). The article was enriched with additional knowledge of the practical application of methods.
