EU regulation : how it work ?
• CEPT is one European body & ECC is the
Electronic communication committee of CEPT
– CEPT represent 43 countries (wider than
European Union)
– ECC Goal is to harmonize decisions between
member countries to improve coexistence and
compatibility
– ECC as a great technical expertise
– CEPT decisions aren't mandatory : each countries
can decide to implement (or not) a ECC decision.

EU regulation : how it work ?
• RSC (Radio Spectrum Committee) is
regulation body of the European Union
– RSC decision are mandatory and impact each of
the 27 countries of the European Union
– But RSC work in close cooperation with ECC
– Usual forkflow is :
• ECC do the technical work and take a decision
• RSC check if it's good idea to enforce this decision in the
whole EU
• If yes, RSC take more or less the same decision
• This decision will then be applicable in the whole EU

Big moves for UWB in December 06
• ECC status after December meeting
– One decision in march opening the 6 – 8.5 GHz
band for UWB (PSD < -41.3 dBm/MHz)
– One decision in December opening the 3.4 to 4.8
GHz band (PSD < -41.3 dBm/MHz) for UWB
devices implementing LDC limitation
– No decisions on DAA and "Phased Approach"
• RSC decided to speed up the process

Big moves for UWB in December 06
• RSC hold a meeting in December and make
some decisions
– Same decision than ECC for the 6-8.5 GHz band
– Simplification of LDC criteria : no more 38 mean
Toff
– Phased approach will give access to the 4.2 to 4.8
GHz band with PSD < -41.3 dBm/MHz until 31
December 2010
• This decision will be validated by EC within 6
months
