WRC-19

Tid och plats

World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19) kommer att äga rum 28 oktober – 22 november 2019 i Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypten. Beslutet togs av ITU Council i maj 2017 och inkluderades i Resolution 1380. Beslutet har skickats till medlemsstaterna för formellt godkännande och har därefter godkänts av medlemsländerna. CPM-2 har hållits i Genève under perioden 18-28 februari 2019.

Agenda

Agendan för WRC-19 är i enlighet med det av WRC-15 framtagna förslaget till agenda i Resolution 809 (WRC-15).

Agendapunkter

Generellt

Radioreglementet (RR) bör endast innehålla allokering av frekvenser för radiotjänster och inte identifiering av frekvenser för specifika tillämpningar och system. Det kan i vissa fall vara berättigat med avsteg från denna princip och att identifiera frekvenser för tillämpningar eller system i RR.

Det är också viktigt att notera att det är allokering av frekvenser för radiotjänster som regleras i RR och beslutas av WRC och inte användningen av dessa allokeringar. Varje land (antingen enskilt eller tillsammans med andra länder) kan bestämma när och hur de olika allokeringarna ska användas inom landet.

En allokering innebär inte att tillstånd för radiosändarna kommer att medges.

SMHI:

”Accepterar en allokering för amatörradio under förutsättning att befintliga radartjänster/vertikal vindprofilerare skyddas.”

Onsala Rymdobservatorium:

The band 50-54 MHz is used by several radio telescopes around the world. In region 1, major facilities such as LOFAR (www.lofar.org) make use of the band. Onsala Space Observatory is part of the LOFAR network. Onsala Space Observatory requests great care in allocating bands to active services, which may block the further development of also for space weather research because the broadband activities in 50-54 MHz will be detrimental to the LOFAR operations. Onsala Space Observatory is involved in LOFAR for Space Weather (LOFAR4SW).

SSC:

”Esrange Space Center agerar koordinator för användandet av frekvenserna 50-54 MHz i Sverige enligt förslag:

AI 1.1: to consider an allocation of the frequency band 50-54 MHz to the amateur service in Region 1, in accordance with Resolution 658 (WRC-15).

Tillsammans med Institutionen för Rymdfysik i Kiruna har Esrange en MST-radar, Mesosfär Stratosfär Troposfär, som använder information runt 52 MHz. Instrumentet används för att mäta atmosfärens beskaffenhet. De atmosfärsmodeller som finns idag är baserade på och verifierade mot data från bland annat detta instrument. Samma data används även för att verifiera meteorologiska satelliters mätningar. Frekvensbandet har varit avsatt som sekundärt bruk för vindmätning efter WRC-97, resolution 217, i Europa. Detta efter förslag från World Meteorological Organization i 1987, med önskemål om att sammanställa och förbättra vindmodellerna för Europa. Det har nu föregått sammanhängande mätningar sedan 1996, som ger en lång och bra data serie.

Vid öppning för amatörradio i samma band ser vi en stor risk för störningar. Därmed kommer också risken för att förlora en lång mätserie för analys av atmosfären. Potentiella störningar i dessa band innebär att man inte längre kommer att kunna göra historiska studier av förändringar i atmosfären. Detta är viktigt för framtida klimat och meteorologi forskning. Instrumentet används även i samband med raket- och ballongkampanjer på Esrange.

CEPT-ståndpunkt

CEPT supports that the MetSat (space-to-Earth) allocation should be upgraded from secondary to primary status and a primary EESS (space-to-Earth) allocation should be added in the frequency band 460-470 MHz provided that

• the protection of primary services in the frequency band and in adjacent frequency bands is ensured by the introduction of relevant pfd masks for GSO and non-GSO satellites

• “MetSat and EESS earth stations shall not claim protection from stations in the fixed and mobile services”, as stated in recognizing f) of Resolution 766.

• priority of MetSat over EESS as currently expressed in the RR is retained.;

CEPT position is based on Method C of the CPM Report

CEPT recognises the need for a harmonized spectrum partitioning (GSO vs. non-GSO DCS) of the global operating environment to allow full development of DCS.

CEPT-ståndpunkt

CEPT does not supports method BA (No Change) of the draft CPM text.

CEPT still continues discussing methods B and C that only differ on the limitations A1a and A2a. The preliminary CEPT position, limitation by limitation is:

The preliminary CEPT position, limitation by limitation is:

Sida

15(139)


CEPT supports the deletions of the limitations:

Limitation A1a (No assignments in the Region 1 List further west than 37.2°W)

Limitation A2a (No modification in the Region 2 Plan further east than 54°W)

With respect to these 2 limitations and the methodology to be used to identify if BSS assignments in the new available orbital positions are affected by new FSS, CEPT supports: For orbital separations less than 4.2º, to apply the Annex 4 coordination threshold PFD mask considering BSS test points. For orbital separations of 4.2º or greater, CEPT supports to apply the Annex 4 coordination threshold PFD mask considering the BSS service area. This will be implemented through a new Resolution.

CEPT is still considering whether these limitations can be suppressed without any additional regulatory measure (method B of draft CPMtext) or if new additional measures, including a new resolution to not limit future deployment of Region 1 and Region 2 FSS with respect to new BSS assignments, are necessary. CEPT also supports the deletions of the limitations:

Limitation A2b (No modification in the Region 2 Plan further east than 44°W)

Limitation A3b (Maximum e.i.r.p. of 56 dBW for assignments in the Regions 1 & 3 List at specific allowable portions of the orbital arc between 37.2°W and 10°E specified in Table 1 of Annex 7 to Appendix 30)

Limitation A3c (Maximum power flux density of -138 dB(W/(m2·27 MHz)) at any point in Region 2 by assignments in the Regions 1 & 3 List located at 4°W and 9°E)

Limitation A3a (No assignments in the Regions 1 & 3 List outside specific allowable portions of the orbital arc between 37.2°W and 10°E specified in Table 1 of Annex 7 to Appendix 30)

Regarding the A3a limitation, CEPT considers that the protection of the BSS satellite networks implemented in accordance with the current provisions of Annex 7 to Appendix 30 (which includes antennas smaller than 60 cm in the allowable portions of the orbital arc), must be guaranteed. To achieve it, CEPT supports the solution which proposes that in the examination to determine if these implemented satellite networks will be affected by new Region 1 and 3 BSS satellite networks from some specific orbital locations, only the EPM

criteria will be applied and Annex 1 coordination threshold and the PFD mask criteria will not be considered. This solution implies the deletion of this limitation and the incorporation of a new Rresolution.

CEPT supports the retentions of limitations:

Limitation A2c (No modification in the Region 2 Plan further west than 175.2°W)

Limitation A1b (part b) (No assignments in the Region 1 List further east than 146°E)

CEPT is of the view that Limitation B deals with the grouping concept of space stations in the Region 2 Plan and therefore decisions over this limitation are out of the scope of CEPT.

In addition, after the removal of the relevant limitations described above, CEPT supports the application of a new Resolution that would give priority, during a period of time, 90 days priority to submit new satellite networks in the new available orbital positions to those Administrations with national assignments in the Regions 1 and 3 Plan with equivalent downlink protection margin values equal or below -10 dB. This period of time is from 23rd March 2020 to 21st May 2020.

CEPT supports to apply as of 23 November 2019 the modifications to Annex 7 of Appendix 30, to this effect, a revision of Article 59 and a draft new Resolution are proposed.

CEPT-ståndpunkt

CEPT supports a regulatory framework for the operation of earth stations in motion (ESIM) in the bands 17.7-19.7 GHz and 27.5-29.5 GHz, while ensuring protection of, and not imposing undue constraints on, services allocated in those frequency bands.

Sida

19(139)


Due to the foreseen growing demand for ESIM and because ESIM terminals are ‘in motion’ and world-wide use, the regulatory framework for these terminals needs to be as simple and practicable as possible.

Regarding the compatibility with terrestrial services in the 27.5-29.5 GHz bands, CEPT supports the following the following conditions are considered as a way forward:

Maritime ESIM – together with other technical conditions, such as appropriate e.i.r.p limits as specified in Decision ECC/DEC/(13)01, minimum distance of 70 km from the low water mark officially recognized by coastal states and a maximum e.i.r.p. of 24.44 dBW/14 MHz towards the territory of any coastal state similar to the method adopted in Resolution 902 (WRC-03). ESIM should comply with these minimum distances unless prior agreement of the concerned administrations has been given.

Aeronautical ESIM – together with other technical conditions, the pfd limits on the earth’s surface as specified in ECC/DEC(13)01, should should be used to ensure protection of MS and FS. form a basis for considerations within the relevant ITU-R Working Parties. This together with other considerations would ensure protection of terrestrial systems. ESIM should comply with these pfd limits unless prior agreement of the concerned administrations has been given.

Land ESIM – operating within national boundaries no specific regulatory action or amendments to the Radio Regulations at WRC-19 are needed.

Regarding of compatibility with the terrestrial services in the 17.7-19.7 GHz band, the CEPT is of the view that ESIM shall not claim protection from the fixed and mobile services in the band.

CEPT is of the view that the pfd for Aeronautical ESIM and minimum distance for maritime ESIM from the low water mark officially recognized by coastal states mentioned above are sufficient for the protection of terrestrial services. Therefore, prior to authorising aeronautical and maritime ESIM, an administration is not required to perform coordination with regards to terrestrial service stations of other administrations provided that the above-mentioned pfd and the minimum distance are met.

Sida

20(139)


CEPT is of the view that the pfd mask for Aeronautical ESIM and minimum distance for maritime ESIM defined above are deemed to provide protection for the terrestrial services in order to provide regulatory certainty for both the terrestrial services and for the operation of ESIM. CEPT is not favourable to regulatory provisions that could allow protection requirements other than pfd mask based on the need to protect future development of terrestrial services. Moreover, CEPT is of the view that the proposed pfd mask shall be defined based on parameters of terrestrial systems which are consistent with the technical characteristics provided by responsible Working Parties at ITU-R and should not address the protection of applications which do not conform with these characteristics.

Regarding of compatibility with satellite networks the ESIM characteristics shall remain within the envelope of the satellite network with which these ESIM communicate and the satellite network, when using ESIM, shall not cause more interference and shall not claim more protection than was coordinated when using typical earth stations in this satellite network.

Regarding the 27.5-29.5 GHz band, the CEPT supportsappropriate sharing techniques, including pfd mask for aeronautical ESIM, and minimum distance of 70 km from the low-water mark and maximum eirp of 24.44 dBW/14 MHz towards the territory of any coastal State for the maritime ESIM in order to protect the fixed and mobile services allocated in the bands.

CEPT is of the view that, in line with the principles already expressed in ITU Resolution 156 (WRC-15), the notifying administration of the GSO FSS satellite network with which ESIM communicate shall be responsible for ensuring that the ESIM network operator shall have has the capability to limit operations of ESIMsuch earth stations to the territory or territories of administrations where they arehaving authorized thouse ESIM and to comply with Article 18 and shall provide a point of contact for the purpose of tracing any suspected cases of interference from earth stations in motion.

In case of interference from L-ESIM, the administration of the territory on which the L-ESIM operates is responsible for authorising the operation of L-ESIM on its territory and for acting. In case of interference from maritime or aeronautical ESIM, the administration of the country in which the ship or aircraft is registered and the administration responsible for the satellite network should have joined responsibility to act to remove interference.

CEPT has developed a Roadmap on 5G (http://www.cept.org/ecc/topics/spectrum-for-wireless-broadband-5g#roadmap). In this respect it is noted that “Europe has harmonised the 27.5-29.5 GHz band for broadband satellite and is supportive of the worldwide use of this band for ESIM. This band is therefore not available for 5G”. It should also be noted that, in Europe, according to Decision ECC/DEC/(05)01, portions of the frequency band 27.5-29.5 GHz, are designated and can be used for the fixed service.

CEPT-ståndpunkt

CEPT supports the development of regulatory provisions, technical and operational conditions that would enable spectrally efficient operation of non-GSO FSS satellite systems in the frequency bands 37.5-42.5 GHz (space-to-Earth), 47.2-50.2 GHz (Earth-to-space) and 50.4-51.4 GHz (Earth-to-space) while ensuring protection for GSO satellite networks and stations of other existing services including passive services in the adjacent frequency bands.

23(139)


CEPT considers that the limits currently in Resolution 750 (Rev. WRC-15) are not sufficient for the protection of EESS (passive) in the adjacent frequency band 50.2-50.4 GHz from operation of [both GSO and] non-GSO FSS satellite systems in the frequency bands under consideration in accordance with Resolution 159 (WRC-15). Appropriate unwanted emission limits for the protection of EESS (passive) are [-61.951.3] dBW/200 MHz for non-GSO user terminals and [-63] -48.7 dBW/200 MHz for non-GSO gateways, [-58.1 dBW/200 MHz for GSO user terminals and -44.1 dBW/200 MHz for GSO gateways]. CEPT is of the view that the effects of aggregate FSS interference from GSO satellite networks and non-GSO systems operating in the relevant bands should be taken into account to ensure the protection of the EESS (passive). CEPT considers that the unwanted emission limits for GSO FSS are not sufficient for the protection of EESS (passive) and should also be revised under WRC-19 AI 1.6. An appropriate unwanted emission limit os [-65.9] dBW/200 MHz for GSO.

CEPT supports the development of the new Recommendation ITU-R S. [50/40 GHz Sharing Methodology] which describes in particular the methodology to calculate the maximum permissible level of interference from non-GSO satellite systems specified as single entry and aggregate limits for: a) increase in unavailability time allowance for degradation of GSO networks short term performance objectives b) a maximum reduction of the average throughput or spectral efficiency for GSO networks using Adaptive Coding Modulation. CEPT supports that this methodology takes into account the correlation between a fading event attenuating both the wanted signal and interfering signals in the frequency bands 40/50 GHz. In addition, CEPT supports that the conformity with these single-entry limits be evaluated using the calculation procedures in the new Recommendation ITU-R S.[50/40 GHz Sharing Methodology] and using the statistics of degradations due to the non-GSO system interference and fading issued from the latest versions of Recommendations ITU-R S.1503 and P.618, respectively

CEPT also supports the development of the new Recommendation incorporated by reference ITU-R S. [50/40 GHz Reference links] which contains characteristics of representative FSS GSO reference links.

”Vi stödjer regulatoriska klargöranden avseende icke-geostationär användning och ser liksom CEPT inte hur denna agendapunkt har tydlig koppling till AI 1.13 då detta är inte är en agendapunkt för någon ny allokering utan rör klargöranden inom redan existerande allokering, vilket Sverige i vanlig ordning bör stödja. Agendapunkterna 1.6 och 1.13 överlappar enbart varandra i termer av frekvensband, men ingen konflikt eller prioriteringsbehov mellan agendapunkterna råder enligt CEPT samt ordförandena för ITU-R’s aktiva grupper för WP 4A och TG5/1. Vi ifrågasätter därför skrivningen att frågan har hög prioritet avseende kopplingen till AI 1.13 och bedömer därmed tyvärr den svenska ståndpunkten som irrelevant och undrar var Sverige egentligen står i sakfrågan? Vi föreslår att den svenska ståndpunkten kompletteras med en skrivning i stil med: ”Sverige stödjer regulatoriska klargöranden som möjliggör en säker och effektiv användning av icke geostationära FSS-anmälningar i de relevanta banden.”. Dessutom bör hänsyn givetvis i vanlig ordning tas till befintliga tjänster i banden.

Vid allokering av FSS i och i närliggande band, enligt ovan, är det viktigt att existerande och framtida tjänster skyddas.

Förutom vikten av fortsatt skydd för befintliga tjänster i banden är det viktigt att kopplingen till Agenda punkt 1.13 noteras. Frekvensbandet 40.5-42.5 GHz är av stort intresse för framtida användning av IMT-2020/5G men har ännu ingen primär mobilallokering. En potentiell mobil användning av bandet bör därför prioriteras.

CEPT supports the use of the current primary allocation to the space operation service in the space-to-Earth direction in the band 137-138 MHz, associated with relevant technical conditions (e.g. pfd limits).

CEPT supports studies for possible modifications to the current regulatory situation including the removal of No 9.21 in the existing allocation to the space operation service in the Earth-to-space direction in the band 148-149.9 MHz.

As an alternative to the band 148-149.9 MHz, CEPT is still investigating a possible 1 MHz allocation to the space-operation service in the Earth-to-space direction limited to non-GSO satellites with short duration missions within the band 403-405 MHz.

Det sätts mer och mer utrustningar på marknaden som är CE-märkta av tillverkarna, men som inte beaktar AIS-VDL och dess förallokering av tidsluckor för sändning (läs, saknar mottagare). Dessa utrustningar om de växer till i antal, samtidigt som antalet AIS-transpondrar ökar, medför att AIS riskerar att få kapacitetsproblem, och/eller att s.k. ”garbling” slår ut meddelanden.

Sjöfartsverket kommer troligen tillsammans med industrin inför WRC 19 att genomföra teoretiska, och i den mån möjligt praktiska studier på hur VDES inkl. satellitkomponent Space ->Earth påverkar andra frekvenser.

An identification should not confer any priority to IMT and this should be emphasized in the footnote identifying the band and associated WRC Resolution. CEPT supports modifying No. 5.553 to remove the frequency band 66-71 GHz from this footnote.

Other candidate bands considered:

37-40.5 GHz

CEPT supports the identification of the band 40.5-43.5 GHz for IMT. Whilst CEPT will not propose identification and has no intention of using 37-40.5 GHz for IMT, CEPT will not oppose proposals from other Regions for an IMT identification within this band provided that the relevant conditions to ensure protection of incumbent services in the 37-40.5 GHz band and EESS (passive) in the 36-37 GHz band are properly addressed in the Radio Regulations.

a global IMT identification for the full 37-43.5 GHz range.

The following bands are not supported for the IMT identification and CEPT is proposing NOC:

31.8-33.4 GHz

50.4-52.6 GHz

71-76 GHz

81-86 GHz

Note: CEPT has developed a roadmap on 5G (http://cept.org/ecc/topics/spectrum-for-wireless-broadband-5g#roadmap). In this respect it is noted that “Europe has harmonised the 27.5-29.5 GHz band for broadband satellite and is supportive of the worldwide use of this band for ESIM. This band is therefore not available for 5G”.

The RAS bands that will potentially be affected are: 23.6-24.0 GHz, 31.3-31.5 GHz, 42.5-43.5 GHz, 48.54-49.04 GHz, 76.0-77.0 GHz and 81.0-86.0 GHz. CRAF has provided compatibility studies for 5G and all potentially affected RAS bands to the CEPT and ITU responsible groups.

The protection of RAS from IMT 5G should be addressed in appropriate Recommendations or Resolution associated with the new allocations for 5G.

Ericsson:

“Ericsson stödjer Sveriges speciella prioritet av frekvensområdet 24.25 – 27.5 GHz som ett initialt 5G-band (”pionjärband”) för Europa. Vi vill samtidigt trycka på behovet av ytterligare frekvensband för 5G ur ett något längre tidsperspektiv, och att samtliga frekvensband i agendapunkt 1.13 ska studeras.

Europe and should be identified for IMT by WRC-19, based on the results of studies. Huawei supports the position of RSPG (which is relevant for the CEPT members who are also EU Member States) that ”shift of use from other bands to this 40.5-43.5GHz band should be avoided as far as possible in order to keep the option open to make it available for 5G in the future”. Huawei is of the view that the 37-43.5 GHz band has a high potential for global harmonisation and that the 37-43.5 GHz tuning range would allow Europe to benefit from the early equipment eco-system being developed for the 37-40 GHz band in the USA.”

Additionally, Huawei supports the identification of the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz bands for IMT by WRC-19, based on the results of studies. Huawei further notes that these bands are very important for high capacity fixed links which can contribute to satisfying 5G requirements for backhauling. The usage of these bands for integrated access and backhaul for 5G is a promising future scenario which is currently being studied in 3GPP.”

In addition to the 23 GHz already allocated to land mobile and fixed services in the lower adjacent band 252-275 GHz, this is hence providing a contiguous band of 44 GHz.

On the basis of the results of compatibility studies with EESS (passive)However, CEPT does not support land mobile and fixed services identification in the EESS (passive) bands 296-306 GHz, 313-318 GHz and 333-356 GHz (as identified in No. 5.565) due to their incompatibility with EESS (passive) in these parts of the spectrumsince study results show that they are not compatible.

Active services other than land mobile and fixed services are not subject to WRC-19 agenda item 1.15. Consequently, CEPT is of the view that the corresponding regulatory provisions to other active services have to remain unchanged.

The CEPT position is hence consistent with Method E of the CPM Report which provides a clear guidance to administrations in which bands land mobile and fixed services applications should operate.

CEPT-ståndpunkt

In the 5 150-5 250 MHz band, CEPT notes that an outdoor relaxation to WAS/RLAN would affect the operation of the MSS feeder links, aeronautical radionavigation and aeronautical telemetry (see No. 5.446C). However, CEPT already allows the use of WAS/RLAN systems inside vehicles (aircraft, trains and automobiles) in ECC Decision (04) 08 and supplementary explanatory document published on the ECC website (see http://www.efis.dk/documents/44659). Moreover, CEPT supports in-car usage up to 40 mW with appropriate penetration losses. CEPT is still discussing limited outdoor relaxation (up to maximum 200 mW e.i.r.p) under the condition that administrations take appropriate measures that will ensure protection of the incumbent services.is still studying usage restrictions (e.g. in vehicle use) combined with appropriate mitigation techniques to achieve co-existence with incumbent services to enable outdoor WAS/RLAN use in this band.

In the 5 250-5 350 MHz band, CEPT notes that the current studies have shown difficulties in achieving co-existence with incumbent services and therefore supports no change to the RR in this band.

In the 5 350-5 470 MHz band, CEPT supports no change to the RR in this band.

In the 5 725-5 850 MHz band, CEPT would support a new mobile allocation to accommodate WAS/RLANs use if sharing and compatibility studies can demonstrate the effectiveness of any new proposed interference mitigation techniques to ensure the protection of radars, fixed service (see No. 5.455) and FSS space station receivers. It is to be noted that CEPT will take into account compatibility studies between RLAN and specific applications within CEPT (e.g. road tolling systems). At this time, no effective mitigation techniques has

been proposed to enable co-existence with certain modes of frequency hopping radars operated in this band in some CEPT countries.

In the 5 850-5 925 MHz band, CEPT notes that the current studies have shown difficulties in achieving co-existence with other incumbent services without imposing any additional constraints on existing services such as FSS (space station receivers) and existing applications under the mobile service such as ITS (including urban rail). Therefore, CEPT supports no change to the RR in this band.

”Hänsyn bör givetvis i vanlig ordning tas till befintliga tjänster i banden, i detta fall värnar vi särskilt 5775-5925. Vi stöder därmed den preliminära slutsatsen inom CEPT som lutar åt No Change.” SMHI: ”En allokering av nya RLAN tjänster är inte acceptabel i 5GHz. Existerande och framtida tjänster för radiolokalisering (radar) måste skyddas.” Ericsson: ”Ericsson ger liksom Sverige denna agendapunkt hög prioritet, och vill även påpeka vikten av att teknikneutralitet tillämpas konsekvent i ITU-R:s arbete. Hänsyn ska tas till karaktäristik för olika WAS/RLAN-teknologier i de studier som genomförs.” FMV: ”Frågan om kompatibilitet mellan WLAN/WAS i banden 5350-5470 MHz och 5725-5850 har studerats utförligt under ett antal år i såväl ITU som CEPT. Ingen av dessa studier har kunnat påvisa kompatibilitet mellan WAS/WLAN och befintliga tjänster i aktuella frekvensband. FMV föreslår därför att PTS stödjer NOC (No Change) i banden 5350-5470 och 5725-5850 MHz under WRC19 agendapunkt 1.16.”

Saab Surveillance:

Avancerade radarsystem utvecklade för såväl nationella som internationella försvarsmakter har spelat en avgörande roll i ett antal internationella fredsbevarande uppdrag. Flera människoliv har sparats på grund av radarsystemens förmåga att upptäcka och larma för olika sofistikerade typer av fara. Specifikt är denna förmåga kopplad till frekvensbandet 5250-5850 MHz vars våglängdsegenskaper äger delar av de egenskaper som återfinns i såväl lägre som högre liggande frekvensband.

Under WRC-03 beslutades att den Mobila Radiotjänsten fick allokera delbanden 5250-5350 MHz och 5470-5725 MHz på Primär basis under förutsättning att systemen är utrustade med DFS enligt ITU-R M.1652-1, se ITU-R Resolution 229 (REV. WRC-12).

Dock har det vid prov visat sig att denna DFS-funktion i många fall inte klarar att detektera och undvika radarsystem som använder sig av sofistikerad modulationsteknik. Det som sker är att radarsystemens mottagare mättas och sätts ur spel beroende på att de mobila radiosystemen inte upphör att sända mot radarsystemet. Situationen förvärras också av att det finns nationer som väljer att inte implementera Resolution 229.

Under WRC-15 fastställdes i fotnoterna 5.447F och 5.450A (ITU-R:s Radioreglemente) att DFS enbart skall kunna hantera de radarsystem vars karakteristik beskrivs i ITU-R rekommendation M.1638-0. Detta innebär att man inte kan ställa högre krav på den DFS-funktion som tillämpas inom Resolution 229.

Inför WRC-19 pågår arbete med att utöka möjligheten för Mobil Radio att få tillgång till de kvarvarande delbanden 5350-5470 MHz och 5725-5850 MHz, se ITU-R Resolution 239, agendapunkt 1.16 (WRC-15). Idag har vi möjlighet att använda dessa delband och en förändring av detta skulle göra det svårare för våra befintliga produkter att bibehålla sin nuvarande operativa förmåga fullt ut.

Även om man lyckas att definiera en mer avancerad DFS-funktion kommer dess förmåga troligtvis att låsas till ITU-R rekommendation M.1638-1. Då begränsas möjligheterna helt för de mer avancerade radarsystemen i hela frekvensbandet 5250-5850 MHz att utvecklas mot att upptäcka nya avancerade hot (t.ex. quadrocoptrar eller nya typer av UAV) eftersom dessa i dagsläget inte finns listade i M.1638-1.

CEPT-ståndpunkt

CEPT is studying possible improvements of the coordination and notification procedures for space services. CEPT supports retaining the current process of continuing evolution at successive WRCs of the regime governing space services. CEPT intends to develop specific positions susceptible to bring improvement to the regulatory process.

CEPT favours the review of any RR provision which can bring accurate solutions to specific detected inconsistencies and develop new improved provisions with emphasis on solving the most urgent issues, i.e. well characterized issues whose improvement is urgent and impacting.

Sida

70(139)


CEPT also favours a stable and predictable regulatory framework for efficient and economical use of spectrum and orbit resources.

CEPT supports to include into consideration under WRC agenda item 7 only the issues considered by the relevant Working Parties prior to the second session of the CPM and included into the draft CPM Report, in order to give administrations and regional organizations sufficient time to draw up a position and develop regulatory texts.

Issue Title CEPT position Annex

A milestone-based approach for the deployment of non-GSO FSS satellite systems in specific bands and services

CEPT supports that a solution to address this issue should follow the eitht principles established by CPM19-2 meeting in February 2019 ITU-R WP 4A (Annex 30 of

4A/826, CPM-19-2/243-E, Section 3/7/1.3). CEPT supports that the definition of the BIU of frequency assignments to non-GSO systems in accordance with the current practice as contained in then RoP adopted by the 73rd meeting of the RRB to be left unchanged from the current practice. This means that CEPT supports considering that the frequency assignments to a non-GSO system be brought into use with the deployment of one of its satellites in one of the notified orbital planes with the operational capability of transmitting or receiving those frequency assignments. CEPT supports that a continuous 90-day period is required to confirm bringing into use.Further consideration needs to be given on the most appropriate length of the period during which such satellite needs to operate in one of the notified orbital planes of the non-GSO system.

At the same time, CEPT supports a milestone-based approach for the maintenance of the recording in the MIFR of assignments to non-GSO systems associated with a minimum number of satellites to be deployed over time. In assessing milestone timelines and objectives, CEPT will seek a balance between the need to prevent spectrum warehousing, the proper functioning of coordination mechanisms and the operational requirements related to the deployment of a non-GSO satellite system.

71(139)


CEPT supports that any milestone-based approach should be applicable to FSS/BSS/MSS and in at least to the frequency bands 10.7-13.25, 13.75-14.58, 15.43-15.63, 17.3-2120.2, 21.4-22, 24.65-25.25, 27-3130, 37.5-472,5, 47.2-50.2 and 50.4-51.4 GHz. CEPT also support further consideration of applying any milestone-based approach to the frequency bands 1.98-2.01, 2.17-2.20, 3.4-4.2, 5.091-5.150, 5.15-5.25, 5.725-5.85, 5.85-6.70, 6.70-6.725, 6.725-7.025, 7.025-7.075, 7.250-7.375, 7.900-8.025, 8.025-8.400, 20.2-21.2, 30-31, 42.5-43.5 and 43.5-47 GHz. For other bands, CEPT does not support applying any milestone-based approachand is considering its applicability to other primary satellite services in the same direction and same frequency bands.

CEPT believes that the milestone-based proposal gives regulatory certainty to networks and systems systemsadministrations and operators, and gives recognition that constellations of non-GSO satellites may generally take time to be fully deployed. CEPT supports the adoption of a unique method encompassing all types of constellations operating in the bands and services listed in the previous paragraph.

CEPT supports two or three milestones to be applied to networks systems recorded in the MIFR. Recognizing that some constellations may deploy some satellites but may fail to meet the milestones, a provision is proposed to reduce the maximum number of satellites recorded in the MIFR while preserving the rights for the already in-orbit satellites. The reduction of the characteristics of the constellation recorded in the MIFR should be based on the number of actual satellites launcheddeployed.

In the absence of a ITU-R recommendation dealing with calculation for interference as a result of modification, CEPT supports the operating in the bands and services listed in the previous paragraph non-application of No. 11,43B if modifications to notified orbital parameters, following milestone failure, are limited to the reduction of the number of orbital planes, reduction of the number of satellites per plane, modification of the right ascension of

Sida

72(139)


the ascending node of each plane and the modification of the initial phase angle of each satellite provided that notifying administration submit a commitment stating that the modified characteristics shall not cause more interference or require more protection than the initial notified characteristics.

CEPT supports that frequency assignments of those systems having reached the end of their regulatory period, brought into use and notified, but not fully deployed before the 1st January [2021/2023]a date to be set by the Conference, will have the same regulatory certainty as that available to frequency assignments of those systems which will reach the end of their regulatory periodbe brought into use and notified after this date.

CEPT supports a methodology that would ensure that at one point in time after WRC-19, the recorded frequency assignments and their associated characteristics must reflect the actual deployment of such systems. Appropriate transitional measures are needed in order to allow administrations having systems with frequency assignments reaching the end of their regulatory period,According to the milestones established, appropriate transitional measures should be considered in order to allow administrations having systems brought into use and notified before the 1st January [2021/2023]the end of WRC-19 to have sufficient time to adapt their current development and deployment schedules to meet milestones thatafter an appropriate date after WRC-19 is likely to define. CEPT supports the first option, established by CPM-2 meeting held in February 2019 (CPM19-2/243-E, Section 3/7/1.3.2.2), to address the transitional measures and supports that the date of the commencement of the milestone process is 1st January [2021/2023].

CEPT also supports that option for the milestone-based approach, as described in the next table, is associated to the date of January 1st, [2021/2023] for the commencement of the milestone process in order to

Sida

73(139)


obtain the application of the first milestone on 1st January [2023/2025].

Milestones Milestone

timing

Minimum required % of satellites deployed to meet the milestone

1st 2 years 10%

2nd 4 years 30%

3rd 7 years 90%

CEPT supports that the Radio Regulations should not be used to eliminate real non-GSO constellations and WRC-19 should not be used as a tool to reduce the number of competing non-GSO systems.

CEPT supports that the suspension of frequency assignments does not extend the milestone period nor reduce the requirements associated with any of the remaining milestones.

CEPT will study further whether provisions should be developed so as to avoid that the same space station may be used to gain undue advantage in the deployment of the constellation by bringing into use multiple filings.

CEPT supports the adoption of a new Resolution by WRC-19 based on the principles and methodology set out above to address thiss issue.

CEPT also recognizes the need to provide necessary visibility for the operators that have already started the

Sida

deployment of their non-GSO system and emphasize that coordination activities should be conducted in good faith, based on operational parameters of the systems with the use of appropriate technical criteria and tools in order to depart from worst case analysis, and should be finalized in proper time so as to enable these constellations to come to fruition.

B Application of coordination arc in the Ka band, to determine coordination requirements between FSS and other satellite services

CEPT supports to apply the coordination arc to both MSS primary and secondary frequency assignments without modifying the current conditions related to the category of allocation applicable to assignments to be taken into account in coordination. Coordination arc criteria would substitute the ΔT/T>6% criteria that currently applies, improving and making more efficient the coordination procedures, while keeping the possibility for Administrations to request ΔT/T criteria under No 9.41. CEPT supports adequate modifications to Table 5-1 of RR Appendix 5 to implement this proposal, as outlined in the single Method B in the draft CPM text.

C7: harmonization of AP30B with AP30 & 30A § 4.1.13 for R1 & 3 and § 4.2.17 for R2; re-introducing a regulatory option to capture obtaining agreements for a specific period

D Identification of those specific satellite networks and systems with which Coordination needs to be effected under RR Nos. 9.12, 9.12A and 9.13

СEPT proposes that the Bureau publish in the CR/D special section the “definitive lists” of those specific GSO networks or non-GSO systems, as appropriate, with which coordination under Nos. 9.12, 9.12A or 9.13 needs to be effected, similarly to what is currently done under the provisions of No. 9.36.2. CEPT supports adequate amendments to the Radio Regulations to implement the proposal above, as Method D12 in the draft CPM text.

CEPT understands that, once the relevant software currently used by the Bureau will be amended as needed, such an approach would not significantly increase the daily workload of the Bureau for producing such lists. In fact, the Bureau carries out a similar analysis to produce the list of Administrations currently published in the BR IFIC under the provisions of No. 9.36.1; the proposed changes would just modify the details published in the BR

IFIC, together with simplifying the administrative burden currently born by many Administrations.

E Resolution related to RR Appendix 30B

CEPT supports to pursue a solution that directly addresses the concern for administrations having nothing in the RR Appendix 30B List, to allow these administrations to convert their national allotments into assignments with characteristics outside the envelope of the allotment or make a submission for a new network provided that the assignment are limited to national service and coverage area. CEPT therefore supports the WRC Resolution as contained in the draft CPM text following the philosophy of Resolution 553 (WRC-15) which addresses a similar issue for the 21.4-22 GHz BSS band for Regions 1 and 3, as outlined in the single method.

F Measures to facilitate entering new assignments into the RR Appendix 30B List

CEPT supports to revise and restructure the coordination triggers used in Appendix 30B to take into account technological advances and the development of the use of the geostationary orbit to facilitate access for newcomers by avoiding overprotection and unnecessary coordination requirements, as outlined in Method F1 in the draft CPM text. CEPT believes that this would help to alleviate the difficulties faced by administrations in attempting to enter assignments into the Appendix 30B List and to facilitate coordination of networks, at the same time appropriately protecting the Appendix 30B Plan and List.

6

G Updating the reference situation for Region 1 and 3 networks under Appendices 30 and 30A when provisionally recorded

CEPT supports that when a network enters the List under § 4.1.18 of Appendix 30 or 30A while there is still disagreement, the reference situation of the interfered-with network shall only be updated if and when the Bureau is informed by the affected administration to do

CEPT supports the single only method proposed for agenda item 7 Issue H

I Additional RR Appendix 4 data items to be provided for non-geostationary satellite systems with multiple orbital planes

CEPT supports method I2 in principle proposing a modified regulatory procedure for non-GSO-satellite netoworks and systems with short duration missions not subject to Section II of RR Article 9.changes in the CPM Report. CEPT supports the regulatory framework in the draft CPM text method where the short lifetimes of non-GSO space stations are taken into account. CEPT proposes to introduce this simplifiedmodified regulatory regimeprocedure for the advance publication, notification and recording procedures for non-GSO satellite systems with short duration missions not subject to Section II of RR Article 9 and in that respect supports the principles of the draft new WRC Resolution together with the associated regulatory regimeprocedure.

This alternative new regulatory regimeprocedure for non-GSO satellite systems with short duration missions not subject to Section II of RR Article 9 shall be based on the following principles:

The satellite operator shall stop the emission of the space station in case of harmful interference experienced by current assignments such in line with RR No. 22.1;

The API and the corresponding notification shall be accurate and complete regarding the orbital parameters and the number of carriers;

10

K Difficulties for Part B examinations under § 4.1.12 or 4.2.16 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A and 6.21 c) of RR Appendix 30B

CEPT supports that the examination under § 4.1.12 or 4.2.16 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A and § 6.21 c) of RR Appendix 30B is performed in two steps, if needed, to better reflect the actual situation and to enable newcomers to benefit from the reduction of satellite networks parameters and characteristics during the coordination process, and thus increase the efficiency of spectrum use, as Method A in the draft CPM text.

CEPT believes that this method avoids over protection of earlier networks based on part A characteristics which could be obsolete and no longer valid due to changes during the coordination and entering into the List. This method would hence enable spectrum efficiency by addressing potential difficulties encountered by notifying administrations in the Part B examination to enter into the List with favourable findings.

CEPT support the overall aim to facilitate entering new assignments into the RR Appendix 30B List and to facilitate coordination of networks for newcomers which the proposal in Issue K targets.

CEPT supports adequate measures to ensure the compatibility and co-existence of the satellite and terrestrial components of IMT, taking into account that the bands 1980-2010 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz are prioritised for MSS (mobile satellite service) use in CEPT (see Decisions ECC/DEC/(06)09, ECC/DEC/(06)10, and European Commission Decision 2007/98/EC) while MSS and MS (mobile service) have co-primary status in the RR. There are four interference scenarios to be considered.

CEPT is of the view that protection of the MSS uplinks in CEPT countries (Interference scenario A1) is not ensured by the current Radio Regulations (RR). There is currently no provision in the RR that would prevent interference

Sida

87(139)


from IMT base stations to IMT space stations and there is no coordination process between the administration responsible for MS and the administration responsible for MSS and no process to identify the concerned administrations. Therefore potential revisions to the RR should be developed at least for Region 1 and 3 limiting the e.i.r.p. of IMT base stations in the uplink band (1980-2010 MHz).:

- to ensure that the band 1980-2010 MHz is not used for IMT base station transmitters or

- limiting the e.i.r.p. of IMT base stations in the uplink band (1980-2010 MHz)

CEPT is of the view that potential interference between thefrom terrestrial IMT base stations to MES (MSS earth stations)systems and MSS earth stations and vice versa (Interference scenarios A2 and B1) can be regulated managed by cross-border coordination by the current provisions on border coordination which are contained in the Article 9 and RR Appendix 7 of the Radio Regulations. and there is no requirement for additional regulatory measures.

CEPT is of the view that the potentialprotection interference in the frequency band 1980-2010 MHz from MES to IMT systems of the terrestrial component of IMT (Interference scenario B12) canould be addressedachieved by using the current sprovisions on border coordination which are contained in Article 9 of the Radio Regulations. Additions to Appendix 7 are proposed to include relevant parameters for digital modulation required for the determination of coordination distance for a transmitting earth station.

pace station pfd thresholds contained in Table 5-2 of Appendix 5 RR, and by removing Note 3 of this table CEPT is studying a revision of the threshold value, , in order to avoid the need of unnecessary coordination by MSS systems with respect to countries which operate terrestrial IMT systems.

CEPT is of the view that potential interference in the frequency band 2170-2200 MHz from MSS satellites to IMT terrestrial systems (Interference scenario B2) can be addressed by establishing a new coordination threshold pfd level in Table 5-2 of Appendix 5, for instance –108.8 dB(W/(m2/MHz) together with creating a new Note 11. Furthermore CEPT has the opinion that NOTE 3 to the existing power flux-density (pfd) coordination threshold values in Table 5-2 of Appendix 5 of the Radio Regulations for other terrestrial services contains some ambiguity regarding the protection of the terrestrial component of IMT. Therefore CEPT propose to modify Note 3.

In summary, CEPT supports View 1 in the CPM Report.

CEPT has harmonised the frequency band 1 452-1 492 MHz for supplemental downlink under the mobile service. Therefore CEPT supports the protection of this application from BSS (sound). CEPT is of the view that the new harmonized solution in the addressed Regions is necessary to be developed.

In order to facilitate the coexistence between IMT and BSS in the band 1 452-1 492 MHz, the current regulatory procedures governing the relation between BSS and terrestrial services need to be modified by inserting a pfd value of -113 dBW/m²/MHz in Article 21 with the view to provide a more stable (long-term stability) situation to IMT.

RR Appendix 5 need to be modified so as to enable countries wishing to continue to apply coordination procedure under RR No. 9.11 to do so. Therefore a pfd limit will apply to BSS with respect to all terrestrial services except for countries wishing to continue to apply RR No. 9.11, because of more stringent protection requirement (e.g. in order to protect telemetry systems (ATS) ) in countries listed in RR NOS 5.342 with protection criteria according ITU-R M.2324).

CEPT recognizes that:

the delimitation between atmosphere and outer space has not been legally defined at an international level by the competent organisations;

the definitions of status of the stations for suborbital flights for radiocommunication purpose by ITU-R do not prevent the competent international organisations (ICAO, UNOOSA) to potentially propose in the future, relevant definitions or other orientations concerning the kind of law (Air law, Space law, Sui generis) which could be applicable for the various types of suborbital systems concepts and projects.]

the current satellite/space launch systems including re-usable part are already operated under the Radio Regulation

CEPT is of the view that :

no change to the Radio Regulations is required for WRC-19.;

suborbital vehicles need to be differentiated from current satellite/space launch vehicles;

suborbital vehicles need to be split in two different categories: o first category with trajectory and/or speed allowing continuous

direct communication with ground during all the suborbital flight phase, then the stations fitted on board are considered as terrestrial stations or earth stations;

o second category with trajectory and/or speed implying a reentry in the atmosphere avoiding direct communication to the ground (communication black out), then stations fitted on board are considered as space stations during the suborbital flight phase;

CEPT is of the view that no regulatory action to the RR will be required in order to resolve AI 9.1, issue 9.1.6. ITU-R Report SM.[WPT-EV.IMPACT.SPEC.MNGM] and Recommendations ITU-R SM.2110 and ITU-R SM.[WPT-UNWANTED], as appropriate, are considered sufficient to specify suitable frequency bands and limits on unwanted emissions for WPT-EV, along with determination of the related centre frequencies.

CEPT has identified the following candidate bands as suitable for WPT-EV, which can minimise the impact of WPT-EV on radiocommunication services:

19-21 kHz for the highest power category (specific heavy-duty electric vehicles), and

79-90 kHz for the medium power category (all types of electric vehicles).

Sida

In addition CEPT is of the view that no bands above 90 kHz should be considered for use by WPT-EV.

CEPT is of the view that bands at 60 kHz and 77.5 kHz used by applications of the standard frequency and time signal service are not suitable for WPT-EV and require specific protection.

CEPT-ståndpunkt

Based on the results of studies on additional spectrum needs for development of the fixed-satellite service and on the sharing and compatibility studies conducted in accordance with Resolution 162 (WRC-15), CEPT supports the additional allocation of 1 GHz spectrum in 51.4 – 52.4 GHz band for the uplink GSO FSS (Earth-to-space) gateways.

To ensure the protection of the EESS (passive), operating in the band 52.6-54.25 GHz, CEPT proposing an unwanted emission limit of -37/39 dBW/100 MHz associated to a maximum elevation angle of 74°/78° for FSS Earth stations that would operate in the 51.4 - 52.4 GHz band. For elevation angles equal or higher than 74°/78° the proposed unwanted emission limit is -52 dBW/100 MHz. This assumes a 3 dB apportionment of the EESS (passive) protection criterion to take into account the aggregate interference from all the active services allocated in the 51.4-52.4 GHz band. Regarding the protection

of future GSO EESS (passive) sensors, CEPT supports additional unwanted emission limits depending on the orbital separation between GSO FSS and GSO EESS (passive) space stations, ranging from -84 dBW/100 MHz to -34.2 dBW/100 MHz.

CEPT supports studies regarding the impact on radio astronomy observations in the band 51.4-54.25 GHz.

Issue Description CEPT view ECP

Publication of API/C in BR IFIC (3.1.3.1)

Considering that the Bureau already publishes the complete information received under RR No. 9.30 at its website “as-received”, and also makes available a list of unique frequency bands for the notice, there may not be a necessity to have this extra publication of API/C special section. The Bureau proposes to incorporate the list of unique frequency bands and their corresponding regulatory date limits in the CR/C special section, and to remove the need to publish a separate API/C special section.

CEPT agrees with the Bureau to incorporate the list of unique frequency bands and their corresponding regulatory date limits in the CR/C special section, and to remove the need to publish a separate API/C special section. The fact that the Bureau publishes all necessary information “as received” at its website makes the publication of API/C special section unnecessary.

No

Requirement under RR No. 9.4 (3.1.3.3)

In accordance with RR No. 9.3 administrations concerned shall endeavour to cooperate to resolve difficulties in respect to the satellite network submitted under Section I of Article 9 of the RR. RR No. 9.4 states that, among other actions, reports on the progress made in resolving any difficulties shall be submitted to the Bureau. As the Bureau doesn’t require this information in the examination of the notification for recording, it is not necessary to provide this information except if the notifying administration wishes to keep the Bureau informed about the progress of its project. In practice, the Bureau receives extremely few reports under RR No. 9.4. The Bureau proposes to suppress this provision.

CEPT doesn’t agree with the Bureau to entirely suppress RR No. 9.4, but it proposes to modify it in order to make it more practical and not obligatory for the notifying administration to inform the Bureau of the progress made in resolving difficulties. However, the first part of RR No. 9.4 could be kept unchanged in order to allow administrations to try to resolve difficulties with their respective satellite networks.

Yes

Draft CR/D database made available in BR IFIC before publication of CR/D in accordance with RR No. 9.53A (3.1.3.4)

This draft CR/D procedure, which is not required in the Radio Regulations, has been introduced by the Bureau in order to provide an opportunity for the notifying administration to check comments from other administrations and add those comments not identified by the Bureau before an official publication in the CR/D special section. In the last two years, only 4 administrations provided draft CR/D information, by which no modification or addition to the draft CR/D was filed. Taking these facts into account, and considering the significant resources of the Bureau required for those tasks it is proposed to cease with such practice.

CEPT agrees with the Bureau that this procedure has no practical usefulness and at the same time it is using considerable resources of the Bureau. CEPT proposes to cease such practice. Each administration could react to official publications of CR/D special sections in order to request a modification or an addition to the published data. In such a case, a modification of the CR/D Special Section in question would be published.

Bringing back into use of a suspended assignment (3.1.4.1)

According to RR No. 11.47, there is a requirement for an administration to confirm the bringing into use within thirty days following the period provided under RR No. 11.44. However, under RR No. 11.49, the requirement for informing the Bureau concerning the bringing back into use after the suspension of a frequency assignment is to inform the Bureau “as soon as possible”. In order for the Bureau to be informed about the start of the 90-day period required under RR No. 11.49.1, it may be necessary to add a similar deadline for bringing back into use.

CEPT agrees with the Bureau’s view and proposes to modify the provision of RR No. 11.49 in order to align the regulatory procedures of bringing into use and bringing back into use of a frequency assignment.

Yes

Examination under RR No. 11.32 and 11.32A based on coordination agreement status at group level of RR Appendix 4 notice forms (3.1.4.2.1)

When notifying a satellite network, the coordination status with respect to affected administrations are communicated through the A5/A6 columns of the Notice Forms. The information in these specific columns is taken into consideration when carrying out examination of the satellite network under RR Nos. 11.32 and 11.32A. In order to have coordination status properly reflected in a publication, as well as facilitating the Bureau’s consistent and efficient approach in treating the information, the Bureau is developing a tool that would allow the notifying administration to define a coordination status with respect to an affected administration at group level of the notice form to either being completed, not completed or no longer required. The notifying administration, when using this tool, will be able to indicate the satellite networks for which they have completed or not completed coordination at group level. Also, all satellite network suppressions, removal because of obsolete etc. will be taken into account.

These indications will be converted to coordination status with respect to an affected administration at group levels based on frequency overlap between the notified satellite network and the affected satellite network of an administration.

CEPT supports the development of a software tool by the Bureau in order to help administrations, while notifying their networks, to define a coordination status with respect to an affected administration at group level by indicating the satellite networks for which they have completed or not completed coordination.

In addition to that, such coordination status would be reflected in a publication. No

In cases of administrations with numerous affected satellite networks, if there is still just one satellite network for which the agreement has not been obtained all satellite networks from this administration will be treated under RR No. 11.32A examination.

The Bureau is proposing to perform future RR No. 11.32 examinations on satellite network level, taking into account already obtained agreements concerning particular satellite networks. In such a case, the Bureau would develop a software module that would complement the notification submissions allowing notifying administrations to indicate, at notice level, the status of coordination under RR No. 9.7 with respect to each individual satellite network identified under RR No. 9.36.2 that will be considered later in the C/I examination accordingly. In addition to that, the list of satellite networks could be published at notice level, if required, with the indications of coordination completed, not completed, or no longer required with respect to satellite networks of an affected administration.

satellite network level or group level. That would make the regulatory procedures of Article 9 of the RR more accurate and efficient, especially for the administrations with multiple satellite operators and large number of submitted satellite networks. In addition to that, the examinations under RR No. 11.32A would be more faithful to the real situation with respect to satellite networks for which a coordination agreement has been already obtained.

As a consequence, certain modifications of RR Appendix 4 would be necessary.

Mandatory application of § 4.1.16 before requesting §§ 4.1.18 and 4.1.18bis of RR Appendices 30 and 30A (3.2.3.1)

With respect to Region 1 and 3 BSS Plan and List networks, § 4.1.18 and § 4.2.21A of RR Appendices 30 and 30A indicates that § 4.1.16 and § 4.2.20 of the same Appendices should first be duly applied by the notifying Administration before requesting the provisional entry into the List under § 4.1.18 and § 4.2.21A of RR Appendices 30 and 30A. However, the language used in § 4.1.16 and § 4.2.21A of RR Appendices 30 and 30A is “should” instead of “shall”, which implies a non-mandatory nature in the context of the Radio Regulations.

In this connection, in application of RR No. 11.41 of the Radio Regulations, which is similar to § 4.1.18 and § 4.2.21A of RR Appendices 30 and 30A, the notifying Administration “shall” indicate to the Bureau that efforts have been made to effect coordination with those

CEPT needs to consider further the view of the Bureau that the alignment of § 4.1.16 and § 4.2.21A of Appendices 30 and 30A of RR with the wording of RR No. 11.41 is necessary. CEPT administrations have experienced cases of application of § 4.1.18 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A by administrations that were not properly applying § 4.1.16 of the same Appendices. However, due to obligatory application of §4.1.18bis and §4.2.21B the case might not be the same as in application

of RR No. 11.41.2 for unplanned bands.

Reminder in case of agreement between RR Appendices 30 or 30A networks for a specified period (3.2.3.2)

In accordance with §§ 4.1.13 and 4.2.17 of Article 4 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A, the agreement of the affected administration may be obtained in accordance with this Article for a specified period. When the specified period goes beyond the regulatory time-limit for bringing into use, the assignment in the List in case of Regions 1 and 3 or in the Plan in case of Region 2 shall lapse unless the agreement of the administration affected is renewed. The corresponding entry in the Master Register will also be removed.

In order to remind the notifying Administration of the consequence in case the agreement is not renewed or new permanent agreement is obtained, it is suggested to add a footnote in §§ 4.1.13 and 4.2.17 of Article 4 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A.

CEPT supports the view of the Bureau to incorporate into the RR Appendices 30 and 30A the obligation of the Bureau to send a reminder to administrations concerned with the temporary agreement soon to be expired.

Yes

Reminder before the expiry of the first 15 years of a RR Appendices 30 or 30A List assignment (3.2.3.3)

In accordance with § 4.1.24 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A, no assignment in the List shall have a period of operation exceeding 15 years, counted from the date of bringing into use, or 2 June 2000, whichever is later. Upon request by the responsible administration received by the Bureau at the latest 3 years before the expiry of this period, this period of operation may be extended by up to 15 years on condition that all the characteristics of the assignment remain unchanged. As some administrations are sending to the Bureau the request for extension later than 3 years before the expiry date, it is proposed to add a footnote in Article 4 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A specifying the obligation of the Bureau to send reminders at least 30 days before the expiry date of the particular request for extension.

CEPT supports the introduction of a footnote specifying that the Bureau shall send a reminder to the notifying administration whose satellite network in the RR Appendices 30 or 30A List is close to the limit date to request an extension for additional 15 years.

Multiple earth station per submission in RR Appendices 30 and 30A (3.2.3.5)

The current practice of the Bureau is that after verifying the technical characteristics of a submitted satellite network under RR Appendices 30 and 30A provisions, the Bureau is asking administrations to limit the number of the corresponding downlink and feeder-link earth stations preferably to a maximum of three. The reason for this request is to limit the number of entries in the Appendix 4 database only to the necessary ones. Following this practice, notifying Administrations may keep full flexibility for their coordination process while reducing the complexity of the submitted networks, as well as the size of the master databases and the GIBC/MSPACE output databases in subsequent Bureau‘s examinations.

Therefore, the Bureau is searching for the advice if such practice should continue or not.

CEPT has sympathy with the Bureau’s practice to limit the number of antennas to 3 for each RR Appendices 30 and 30A submission, however since there are administrations linking antenna characteristics to landing rights (they need an exact match), the number of antennas might need to be increased to maximum 5.

Rule of procedure on RR No. 5.510 (3.2.3.6)

Rule of Procedure on footnote RR No. 5.510 addresses the sharing between FSS feeder-link networks for the BSS in Region 2 and the Regions 1 and 3 BSS feeder-link Plan and List (outside Europe) in the 14.5-14.8 GHz. WRC-15, when discussing the new allocation to the fixed-satellite service in this frequency band under Agenda item 1.6, reconfirmed the use of the band 14.5-14.8 GHz for BSS feeder-links in the FSS (Earth to-space) in Region 2 is in accordance with the Table of Frequency Allocations. In view of the above and as this Rule is stable since its approval, it is thus suggested to reflect the sharing situation directly in the Radio Regulations and suppress this Rule of Procedure.

The current text of this section specifies that an FSS administration is considered as being affected if the power flux-density (pfd) values produced by an incoming BSS assignment are equal to or

greater than the applicable pfd limits. Other Sections of Annex 1 to RR Appendix 30, notably Section 4 having the similar criteria, specify that an administration is considered as being affected if the applicable limits are exceed. The Bureau when applying the criteria in Section 6 of Annex 1 to RR Appendix 30 considers an administration is being affected if the pfd values produced by an incoming BSS assignment exceed the applicable pfd limits. Therefore, there is a need to align the conditions in Section 6 with other Sections in Annex 1 to RR Appendix 30.

Non-applicability of Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) for submissions under Article 2A of RR Appendices 30 and 30A (3.2.3.10)

Resolves 1 of Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) specifies which satellite network or satellite system of the fixed-satellite service, mobile-satellite service or broadcasting-satellite service is subject to the administrative due diligence procedure contained in Annex 1 to that Resolution. As far as satellite networks subject to RR Appendices 30 and 30A are concerned, paragraph 2 of Annex 1 indicates that only certain requests for modifications of the Region 2 Plan under the relevant provisions of Article 4 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A or any request for additional uses in Regions 1 and 3 under the relevant provisions of Article 4 of RR Appendices 30 and 30A shall be subject to the administrative due diligence procedure. Therefore, submissions under Article 2A of RR Appendices 30 and 30A are not subject to the administrative due diligence procedure. However, this fact is not clearly mentioned in Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15). In order to clarify the situation that Article 2A submissions concerning space operations functions are not subject to Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15), a footnote to Article 2A of RR Appendices 30 and 30A would be needed.

CEPT supports the view of the Bureau that a clarification is needed with respect to the obligation of submissions in accordance with Article 2A of RR Appendices 30 and 30A to apply the Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) or not. In this respect, a footnote is proposed to be added to both Appendices 30 and 30A of the Radio Regulations.

Yes

Removal of mandatory 2-year period before bringing into use from § 6.1 of Article 6

In accordance with § 6.1 of RR Appendix 30B, when an administration intends to convert an allotment into an assignment or to introduce an additional system or modify the characteristics of assignments in the List that have been brought into use, it shall, not earlier than eight years and

of RR Appendix 30B (3.2.4.1)

not later than two years before the planned date of bringing the assignment into use, send to the Bureau the information specified in RR Appendix 4. However, the actual or foreseen date of bringing into use is not a mandatory information to be submitted under § 6.1 of RR Appendix 30B. Consequently, it is not possible for the Bureau to examine the date of bringing into use when a submission is received under § 6.1 of RR Appendix 30B. In order to solve this problem it is proposed that the indication of mandatory 2-year period before bringing into use be deleted from the text of § 6.1 of RR Appendix 30B.

into use of the corresponding Appendix 30B assignment.

Relocation of downlink test points following the application of § 6.16 of RR Appendix 30B (3.2.4.2)

Under § 6.16 of RR Appendix 30B an administration may at any time inform the Bureau about its objection to being included in the service area of any assignment, even if this assignment has already entered in the List. The Bureau shall exclude the territory and remove the test points that are within the territory of the objecting administration from the service area. However, if all test points of an assignment are removed due to numerous requests under § 6.16 of RR Appendix 30B the assignment has to be cancelled. Considering that downlink test points of an assignment are used for its protection and don’t have any impact on the evaluation of interference from the assignment to the other allotments and assignments, it is proposed to allow the notifying administration to relocate the downlink test points of an assignment when § 6.16 of RR Appendix 30B is applied.

CEPT supports the proposal of the Bureau to allow the notifying administration to relocate its test points from the territory of the country applying § 6.16 of RR Appendix 30B to other territories in the current service area. This procedure would be also fully in line with the similar procedure in case of the application of RR No. 23.13C in case of BSS assignments covered by the RR Appendix 30 procedures. In order to include the possibility of relocation of test points, a footnote is proposed to be added to § 6.16 of RR Appendix 30B.

Yes

Two-months deadline in § 8.5 of Article 8 of RR Appendix 30B (3.2.4.3)

§ 8.5 of Article 8 of RR Appendix 30B requires that following receipt of a complete notice under § 8.1 of that Appendix, the Bureau shall publish the content of the notice “within not more than two months”. This requirement is in line with the RR No. 11.28 of the Radio Regulations for the non-planned satellite services. However, in accordance with § 8.1 of RR Appendix 30B, a notification shall be submitted when the relevant procedure of Article 6 has been successfully applied. The Bureau understanding is that a

CEPT is of the view that the above mentioned 2 month period should stay, but with respect to the actual date of entry into the Appendix 30B List of the frequency assignment in question. Therefore, the proposed revision of the § 8.5 of RR Appendix 30B should take this view into account.

Yes

Sida

114(139)



notification under Article 8 of RR Appendix 30B is not receivable if the corresponding assignments have not been entered in the List. The Bureau’s view is that if there is no time-limit for the publication of Article 6 submissions, it is not consistent to have a time-limit for publication of notification.

Use of earth station antenna radiation pattern specific to RR Appendices 30 and 30A for submissions under RR Appendix 30B (3.2.4.4)

In the Bureau’s Antenna Pattern Library, all the RR Appendix 30B reference earth station antenna patterns are expressed as a function of D/λ and the value of D/λ is derived using the submitted maximum antenna gain. However, the Bureau receives also certain submissions under Articles 6 and 8 of RR Appendix 30B in which antenna pattern of the associated receiving earth station is MODRES (APERR_007V01). This antenna pattern is used for Regions 1 and 3 BSS Plan and List. The D/λ is calculated using a fixed frequency of 12.1 GHz and antenna diameter is required as an input parameter. Therefore, the use of this antenna pattern for RR Appendix 30B submissions leads to inaccurate estimation of interference from other networks. The Bureau is searching an advice from the WRC-19 if the MODRES radiation pattern should continue to be accepted in new Appendix 30B submissions.

CEPT is of the view that the MODRES radiation pattern should continue to be accepted in new RR Appendix 30B submissions on provisional basis, until a modification of ITU-R Rec. BO.1213 is approved.

The MODRES radiation pattern is very spread, not only for RR Appendix 30 and 30A submissions, but in general. MODRES radiation pattern is the one preferred for the BSS reception and DTH reception in general.

No

Alignment of coverage and service area for submissions under RR Appendix 30B (3.2.4.5)

In the note to item B.3.b.1 of Annex 2 to RR Appendix 4, it is mentioned that administrations should, to the extent practicable, align the coverage of a steerable beam with its service area.

However the Bureau receives certain submissions with fixed beams where the coverage and the service area are not aligned. In these cases, the Bureau requests notifying Administrations to align the coverage area to the associated service area. Most of the administrations insist in keeping the submitted coverage area, indicating that the requirement in the note to item B.3.b.1 of Annex 2 to RR Appendix 4 does not apply for fixed beams.

CEPT doesn’t see the need to align the coverage and service area for submissions under RR Appendix 30B as CEPT prefers to keep the flexibility of definition of coverage areas of fixed beams in submissions to the BR. No

Sida

115(139)



Therefore, Bureau suggests to remove the indication of “steerable” in RR Appendix 4, item B.3.b.1.

Service areas as contours for submissions under RR Appendix 30B (3.2.4.6)

Final service areas of RR Appendix 30B submissions often include few territories due to the requirement to obtain an explicit agreement under § 6.6 of RR Appendix 30B. Some administrations submit service area as a global or wide contour excluding from it territories of all administrations that did not give explicit agreement for inclusion. The service area is then mostly composed of sea. That creates an inconsistency between aggregate and uplink single entry protection (only on land parts of the service area) and the downlink single entry protection (on land and sea parts of the service area). Therefore, the Bureau suggests that the grid points should be generated only on land parts within the service area in question.

CEPT still needs to consider further the Bureau’s suggestion to create grid points only on land parts of a particular service area.

At the same time, CEPT is of the view that the flexibility to define the service area for RR Appendix 30B submissions in two ways, as a contour with a list of excluded countries or just a list of countries to be included in this service area, should be preserved.

?

Proposed modifications to § 6.19 of RR Appendix 30B (3.2.4.7)

In the examination under item a) of § 6.19 of RR Appendix 30B, the Bureau shall verify that the agreements of the administrations identified under § 6.6 of RR Appendix 30B have been obtained. However, the service area of the notice submitted under § 6.17 of RR Appendix 30B may include the territories that was not included in the corresponding notice submitted under § 6.1 of RR Appendix 30B and thus was not identified in examination under § 6.6 of RR Appendix 30B. The Bureau understands that the notifying administration has to obtain the agreements of all the administrations whose territories are already included in the intended service area of an assignment in order to include it in the List. Therefore, the Bureau proposes the modification of § 6.19 of RR Appendix 30B to clarify this particular issue.

CEPT supports the proposal of the Bureau to modify § 6.19 of RR Appendix 30B in order to include the obligation for notifying administration to obtain the agreements of all the administrations whose territories are included in the submitted service area(s).

Yes

Inclusion of the Rule of Procedure on Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) (3.3.2.1)

During its March 2018 meeting, the Radio Regulations Board “instructed the Bureau that the corresponding Rule of Procedure on Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) needs to be taken into account in the proposed revision of this document that would be submitted to WRC-19.”

CEPT supports the proposal from the Bureau that the revision to resolves 1 of the Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) should be made in order to add the reference to RR No. 9.1A.

Yes

Sida

116(139)



In accordance with RR No. A.9.4 and § 1 to Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15), Resolution 49 shall continue to be applied with respect to those satellite networks and satellite systems that are subject to coordination under RR Nos. 9.7, 9.11, 9.12, 9.12A and 9.13. Therefore, the Board understood that resolves 1 of Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) is also applicable for a satellite network or satellite system of the fixed-satellite service, mobile-satellite service or broadcasting-satellite service for which the advance publication information was published under RR No. 9.1A.

Removal of outdated provisions from the Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) (3.3.2.2)

At the time of the initial adoption of Resolution 49 by WRC-97, a number of transitional measures were necessary to take into account cases of satellite networks already recorded in the MIFR or in the process of being recorded. These transitional measures have resulted in resolves 2 to 6 and are now fully implemented. Consequently they could now be suppressed.

CEPT supports the proposal from the Bureau to modify the resolves 1 and to suppress the resolves 2 to 6 of the Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) that are not necessary any more.

Yes

Submission of Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) information after the date of bringing into use (3.3.2.3)

An administration notifying a satellite network under RR Article 11, Article 5 of RR Appendices 30 and/or 30A or Article 8 of RR Appendix 30B, taking account of § 1, 2 or 3 of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) and in accordance with § 12 of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) “shall send to the Bureau, as early as possible before the date of bringing into use, the due diligence information relating to the identity of the satellite network and the launch services provider specified in Annex 2 to this Resolution”.

Consequently, the Bureau understands that the due diligence information specified in Annex 2 of Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) shall be received by the Bureau before the confirmed date of bringing into use. Otherwise it would not be in conformity with the provision of § 12 of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15). However, in practice, the Bureau has experienced the situation when the due diligence information submission was received after the confirmed date of bringing into use.

CEPT agrees with the Bureau that the current text of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) is impractical and that it should be revised. Therefore, CEPT is considering an appropriate modification of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) which could solve the inconsistencies of the current text of the Resolution 49 (Rev. WRC-15) mentioned by the Bureau.

117(139)



It should be noted that, under the current regulations, the deadlines where information concerning the bringing into use of a frequency assignment to a space station in the geostationary-satellite orbit should be submitted to the Bureau are spelt out in RR No. 11.44B and RR No. 11.44B.2. The Bureau may be informed about the bringing into use of an assignment after the event, therefore it may be impractical for the Bureau to strictly apply § 12 of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15). This difficulty in application of § 12 of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) could be addressed by amending § 12 of Annex 1 to Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15).

Streamlining the submission of due diligence information (3.3.2.5)

The Bureau proposes to streamline the submitted data under Resolution 49 by merging it with the submission of notification data. An immediate advantage of this would be the simplification of keeping updated the frequency assignments recorded in the MIFR with the corresponding due diligence information. This could be done by integrating data elements currently contained in Annex 2 to Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) in Appendix 4 of the Radio Regulations, as shown in Annex 2 to this document.

CEPT needs to consider further the Bureau proposal concerning this issue.

In the case of incorporation of Resolution 49 (Rev.WRC-15) data into the submission of notification data, appropriate modification of RR Appendix 4 would be necessary.

Agenda för WRC-19

Agenda for the 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2015),

considering

a) that, in accordance with No. 118 of the ITU Convention,

the general scope of the agenda for a world radiocommunication

conference should be established four to six years in advance and

that a final agenda shall be established by the ITU Council two

years before the conference;

b) Article 13 of the ITU Constitution relating to the

competence and scheduling of world radiocommunication

conferences and Article 7 of the Convention relating to their

agendas;

c) the relevant resolutions and recommendations of previous

world administrative radio conferences (WARCs) and world

radiocommunication conferences (WRCs),

recognizing

a) that this conference has identified a number of urgent

issues requiring further examination by WRC 19;

Sida

131(139)


b) that, in preparing this agenda, some items proposed by

administrations could not be included and have had to be deferred

to future conference agendas,

resolves

to recommend to the Council that a world radiocommunication

conference be held in 2019 for a maximum period of four weeks,

with the following agenda:

1 on the basis of proposals from administrations, taking

account of the results of WRC 15 and the Report of the

Conference Preparatory Meeting, and with due regard to the

requirements of existing and future services in the frequency

bands under consideration, to consider and take appropriate action

in respect of the following items:

1.1 to consider an allocation of the frequency band 50-54

MHz to the amateur service in Region 1, in accordance with

Resolution 658 (WRC 15);

1.2 to consider in-band power limits for earth stations
