EUROPEAN COMMON PROPOSALS
FOR THE WORK OF THE CONFERENCE
PART XX
Agenda item 1.1
1.1
to consider additional spectrum allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis and
identification of additional frequency bands for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)
and related regulatory provisions, to facilitate the development of terrestrial mobile broadband
applications, in accordance with Resolution 233 (WRC-12)
Introduction
Resolution 233 calls for studies on additional spectrum requirements for International Mobile
Communications (IMT) and potential candidate frequency bands. The studies on spectrum
requirements should take into account technical and operational characteristics of IMT systems and
the bands currently identified for IMT, the technical conditions of their use and the possibility of
optimizing the use of these bands with a view to increasing spectrum efficiency. The studies should
also take into account the evolving needs, including user demand for IMT and other terrestrial
mobile broadband applications and the time-frame in which spectrum would be needed.
The study on potential candidate frequency bands should take into account sharing and
compatibility studies with services already having allocations in the potential candidate bands and
in adjacent bands, as appropriate as well as the current and planned use of these bands by the
existing services, as well as the applicable studies already performed in ITU-R.
Spectrum harmonisation
Global spectrum harmonization leads to lower prices for the equipment thus increasing the adoption
of the technology and having a direct and indirect impact on the economic growth. This growth
consists of enhancement of productivity, job creation, entrepreneurship, infrastructure investment,
taxation; all leading to GDP growth.
Globally harmonized spectrum bands and band plans will lead to following benefits:

* provide economies of scale,
* allow consumer wider choice of service providers and brands of devices,
* avoid fragmented markets,
* decrease potential for radio interference within land mobile services,
* facilitate global roaming,
* maximize the total economic value.
SUB-PART XA
Proposals for identification of bands for IMT
The following bands are proposed to be identified for IMT and to be allocated to mobile service on
primary basis, as appropriate, with the objective to satisfy the requirement for additional terrestrial
IMT spectrum as defined in CPM Report on AI 1.1. Corresponding proposals to modify other parts
of the Radio Regulations are also included in this sub-section.

The use of the band 3400 - 3600 MHz by mobile service subject to agreement
obtained under No. 9.21 with [list of administration in Region 1] and the band is identified for
International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT).
This identification does not preclude the use of this band by any application of the services to which
it is allocated and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations. At the stage of coordination
the provisions of Nos. 9.17 and 9.18 also apply. Before an administration brings into use a (base or
mobile) station of the mobile service in this band, it shall ensure that the power flux-density (pfd)
produced at 3 m above ground does not exceed −154.5 dB(W/(m2  4 kHz)) for more than 20% of
time at the border of the territory of any other administration. This limit may be exceeded on the
territory of any country whose administration has so agreed. In order to ensure that the pfd limit at
the border of the territory of any other administration is met, the calculations and verification shall
be made, taking into account all relevant information, with the mutual agreement of both
administrations (the administration responsible for the terrestrial station and the administration
responsible for the earth station), with the assistance of the Bureau if sorequested. In case of
disagreement, the calculation and verification of the pfd shall be made by the Bureau, taking into
account the information referred to above. Stations of the mobile service in the band 3 4003 600 MHz shall not claim more protection from space stations than that provided in Table 21-4 of
the Radio Regulations (Edition of 2004). (WRC-15)]
[Editors' note: The yellow highlighted text needs to be clarified. Further consideration should be
given to Region 2 ja 3. Also further consideration should be paid in the table to mobile, except
aeronautical mobile service, instaed of mobile service.]
Reasons: The band 3400-3800 MHz has been designated for mobile broadband use in most of the
CEPT countries but global harmonization and global identification would enhance the benefits of
harmonization. Countries outside from CEPT could benefit from the initial economies of scales
resulting from CEPT wide market. It may also be possible to achieve alignment in terms of a TDD
band plan, which for some scenarios may simplify coexistence with other systems.
The band 3400-3800 MHz offers the great possibility for very wide channel bandwidths to be
supported by IMT-Advanced enabling high data rates.

Frequency allocations
Section IV - Table of Frequency Allocations
Introduction
The frequency band 1 300–1 400 MHz is allocated on a primary basis to the radiolocation service
(RLS) in all Regions. In addition the frequency band 1 300-1 350 MHz is also allocated to
aeronautical radionavigation (ARNS) and radionavigation-satellite (Earth-to-space) services on a
primary basis.
There are allocations to radionavigation-satellite service (Earth-space) at 1 300-1 350 MHz, earth
exploration-satellite (active) in bands below 1 300 MHz and the radionavigation-satellite service
(space-Earth and space-space) at 1 559-1 610 MHz. Certain RNSS signals are used for safety-oflife applications and subject to RR No. 4.10 which states that “the safety aspects of radionavigation
require special measures to ensure their freedom from harmful interference".
CEPT therefore does not support the frequency band 1300-1350 MHz for mobile broadband.

the IMT at WRC07 by Resolution 225. Compatibility studies indicate that sharing is not possible in
this band between terrestrial IMT and MSS.
Introduction
The 1695-1710 MHz band is widely used by meteorological satellites systems (Space to Earth) and
in particular European satellites operated by EUMETSAT. This use represents a large number of
receiving Earth Stations that would not be compatible with typical mobile deployment as confirmed
by technical studies agreed in ITU-R in Draft new Report ITU-R SA.[METSAT 1.7 GHz] “Sharing
assessment between meteorological satellite systems and IMT stations in the 1 695-1 710 MHz
frequency band”.
In addition, this band is not considered relevant for mobile service due to the limited bandwidth
available.
CEPT therefore does not support the frequency band 1695-1710 MHz for mobile broadband.

Introduction
The frequency band 3 300-3 400 MHz is allocated to radiolocation service on the worldwide
primary basis. In Region 2, it is allocated to amateur, fixed and mobile services on the secondary
basis. In Region 3, it is allocated to amateur service on the secondary basis.
In countries of Regions 1 and 3 specified in RR No. 5.429 it is allocated to the fixed and mobile
services on a primary basis. The countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea shall not claim
protection for their fixed and mobile services from the radiolocation service.
In countries of Region 1 specified in RR No. 5.430 this band is allocated to the radionavigation
service on a primary basis.
Studies present contradictory results on co-channel and non-co-channel interference from IMT into
radar. Studies submitted by CEPT in JTG 4-5-6-7 concluded that both co-channel and non-cochannel sharing are not feasible.
All of the studies on the protection of in-door IMT from airborne Radar A indicate that required
separation distance exceeds hundreds of kilometres. Some of the included studies indicate that the
required separation distance between radar systems and IMT may even exceed 1 000 kilometres.

Introduction
The band 4500 - 4800 MHz is allocated to fixed satellite (space to Earth) (Appendix 30B), fixed
and mobile service in all ITU Regions. This band is heavily utilized for FIXED and MOBILE
(including aeronautical) applications and is harmonized for military applications. Many different
military applications are currently operating in this band having had to migrate following the release
of lower bands in the past notably to accommodate IMT systems

Introduction
The 5 350-5 470 MHz frequency band is allocated to the Earth exploration-satellite (active),
radiolocation, radionavigation, aeronautical radionavigation, and space research (active) services.
Key European policies are implemented through the GMES/Copernicus Programme. This
Programme relies on the operational use of the Sentinel satellites and their EESS(active) sensors
working in this frequency band. In addition, this band is used by important governmental
radiolocation systems.
CEPT has concerns on the feasibility of RLAN usage in the band 5350-5470 MHz, as current
compatibility studies show that there is significant enough negative margin to conclude that sharing
between EESS (active) and RLAN systems in the 5 350-5 470 MHz frequency range is not feasible
unless additional mitigation techniques are identified that can provide the necessary protection to
EESS (active).
Some mitigation techniques have been proposed and considered to address these negative margins.
Two additional mitigation techniques have been proposed (i.e. DFS, EIRP mask) and studies have
concluded that they are not effective and/or implementable to provide protection for EESS (active
systems).
Studies were also conducted on Spreading and channelling arrangements as a mitigation technique
and it was concluded that it does not provide, on its own, enough added mitigation to enable sharing
between RLAN and EESS (active).
Other additional mitigation techniques (i.e. Spectrum access system using geo-location database
and further restrictions on maximum RLAN power) have also been considered.
Initial studies looking at further reducing the maximum power levels allowed by RLANs possibly
down to 25mW including a minimum TPC range have not reached any firm conclusions. Further
studies looking at appropriate power distributions as well as the effectiveness and the feasibility of
implementing these power distributions in RLANs will need to form part of any further analysis.
Spectrum access system using Geo-location databases as a means of sharing the band based on
separate time and location sharing has been proposed. A number of questions/issues on the
feasibility, implementation and enforcement of this mitigation technique on an international basis to
protect EESS operations have been raised. No conclusions could be drawn on this at this time
without further analysis.
In addition, it should be noted that existing DFS standards at 5 GHz have not been developed to
specifically protect radars that employ advanced and fast frequency hopping techniques and bistatic radar and that no solution has been found to address the protection of these radars in the band
5350-5470 MHz from RLANs at this stage.
It has been noted that further studies on some possible mitigation techniques may be carried out in
the ITU-R and CEPT but it is unlikely that these studies would be concluded in the timescales
associated with WRC-15. Therefore, at this stage, after consideration of the results of the current
studies and without the conclusions of these further studies it would not be possible to support an
identification of the 5350-5470 MHz band for RLAN 5 GHz at WRC-15.
CEPT therefore does not support the allocation of the frequency band 5350-5470 MHz for RLAN at
WRC-15.
