WRC-[12]
CPM (Conference Preparatory Meeting) –
14-25 February 2011
WRC-[12] ([23 Jan.-17 Feb. 2012])
- 33 agenda items,
- almost all services (terrestrial: RLS, AM(R)S,
passive services, FS, BS, MS, Maritime MS, Amat.S,
space: AMS(R)S, SRS, BSS, MSS, MetAids, RDSS, MetSat)
and other issues (Res.951, SRDs, Cognitive Radio)
- and many applications and systems :
UAS, ENG, HAPS, oceanographic radar, …

Some principal themes of WRC-[12] (1)
Safety
aeronautical communications by satellite for safety and regularity
of flights in civil air transportation
aeronautical spectrum requirements (terrestrial) for safety-critical
data links and new applications in air traffic management
digital technologies for improved maritime safety communications
ship and cargo i.d., tracking, surveillance, port security
use of amateur service as emergency communications back-up
radars and passive sensors for monitoring weather and
environment
“Classic” radiocommunication services
spectrum opportunities for new applications arising from “digital
dividend”
satellite component of IMT (and spectrum for MSS in general)
high-speed data fixed wireless applications above 70 GHz
HAPS gateways
Electronic News Gathering (ENG)

Some principal themes of WRC-[12] (2)
Regulatory issues
Software-defined and Cognitive Radios
Definitions – no need in RR
Operate within existing services under related RR
Information required on device location and characteristics
within a network through link to database or by cognitive
supporting pilot channel
studies on need for regulatory measures to protect certain
existing services
Short-Range Devices (SRDs)
identify SRD emissions inside and outside ISM bands
ensure adequate protection to all radiocom services
emission masks; exclusion bands; harmonized bands
International Spectrum Regulatory Framework
convergence of certain radio technologies
four candidate options – current practice; review service
def’s; service substitution; composite services
