&lt;p&gt;Your understanding is correct. If an interfering signal on the co-channel is more than 12dB stronger than your signal, it will block it out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We don&amp;#39;t have any additional data on this, but the curve would look highly logarithmic. With a signal 12dB stronger you should see a bit error rate (BER) of 0.1%. Add another dB or two and I am sure you would have close to 100% BER.
With only 5dB or 0dB separation your signal would be completely blocked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;br /&gt;
