  1. Update on International Activities Spectrum Engineering Branch December 2012

  2. WP 5A Meeting Geneva, 5-15 November 2012 • Progress made on the WRC-15 AI’s under WP 5A responsibility: 1.3, 1.4, 1.18 • Significant discussion started on AI 1.1 • U.S. proposed that the 5350-5470 MHz and 5850-5925 MHz bands be considered for RLAN. Contributions on this topic, and on possible requirements for additional spectrum for mobile broadband applications, including RLANs, are expected for the next WP 5A meeting in May. • Reports and Recommendations • Approved new ITU-R Report on BWA Planning • Approved revision of Rec. M. 1801 on standards for BWA systems • Initiated revision of M.1450 – Characteristics of RLANs • Initiated revision of M.1651 – Methodology to asses BWA/RLANs spectrum requirements • 79 GHz Workshop - organized in support of agenda item 1.18 http://www.79ghz.eu/index.php/workshop7nov

  3. WP 5B Meeting Geneva, 5-15 November 2012 • Some Progress made on the WRC-15 AIs under WP 5B responsibility: 1.5 UAS & 1.18 WAIC (Aero), 1.15 On board com & 1.16 AIS (Maritime) and 1.18 auto radar in 77.5 – 78 GHz (Radiolocation) • On Aeronautical issues: • On AI 1.5 UAS: one method proposed for CPM text: No change. Very difficult discussion as the opposing views from the last conference are kept at this point of time. A work plan to do the necessary studies for FSS to carry UAS traffic was established. • On AI 1.17 WAIC: some bands being discussed with some preference toward 4.2-4.4 GHz. Identification of bands based on existing ARNS allocation. • On Maritime issues: • On AI 1.15 for on board communication stations: No significant progress made. • On AI 1.16 on Automatic Identification System (AIS) applications: the concept of establishing a multi/broadcast satellite based mode on CH 75/76 was brought forward for discussion under his agenda item. • On Radiolocation issues: • On AI 1.18 for auto radar in 77.5 – 78 GHz: one method supporting primary allocation to radiolocation; the allocation is proposed in CPM text. - 3 -

  4. Large number of liaisons providing input for other WPs work on WRC-15 AIs Concerns regarding FS impact of work on AI 1.8 on ESVs (Earth Stations aboard Vessels) Large numbers of submissions to SG 5 Updates of FS channel plans HF bands Editorial updates Addition of ISS orbital locations used for space research to be protected from FS, but concern over frequency of revision Work underway includes Planned Report on FS trends Canadian proposal to study impact on FS systems in the bands 71-76 and 81-86 GHz from adjacent band automotive radars Explicitly NOT part of WRC-15 AI 1.18 WP 5C Meeting Geneva, 5-14 November 2012

  5. WP 5D Meeting Woodland Hills, 3-11 October 2012 • Progress made on the WP 5D input for AIs 1.1 and 1.2 • Provided a preliminary list of suitable frequency ranges • Provided some preliminary information on the amount of spectrum required for IMT • Provided parameters for sharing studies • Reports and Recommendations • Approved revision to Rec. M.1457 on specifications of the terrestrial radio interfaces of IMT-2000 • Approved revision to Rec. M.1768 on methodology for calculation of spectrum requirements for IMT • Work progressed on a new report on PPDR applications of IMT (as input for AI 1.3) • Work is underway to provide all the technical characteristics needed to calculate the amount of spectrum requirements (e.g., traffic, trends and parameters)

  6. JTG 4-5-6-7 Meeting Geneva, 21-28 November 2012 • JTG deals with WRC-15 Agenda Items: • 1.1 – additional spectrum for mobile broadband • 1.2 – use of the band 694-790 MHz by mobile service in Region 1 • Work progressed on both CPM texts – mostly background sections • U.S. proposed 470-698 MHz as a candidate band for AI 1.1 but no support to include in CPM text at this time without studies having been done. • No sharing studies were submitted to this meeting • Many frequency bands suggested for study by members of the JTG as potential candidate bands for mobile broadband/IMT: • 470-694/698 MHz, 1300-1350 MHz, 1350-1375 MHz, 1375-1400 MHz, 1427-1452 MHz, 1452-1492 MHz, 1492-1518 MHz, 1518-1525 MHz, 1695-1700 MHz, 2700-2900 MHz, 3400-3600 MHz, 3600-3800 MHz, 3800-4200 MHz, 5350-5470 & 5850-5925 MHz and 5925-6425 MHz

  7. The 20th meeting of CITEL PCC-II: Radiocommunication including Broadcasting was held onOctober 22 - 27, 2012in Mexico City, Mexico Canada submitted 44 contributions (WRC and non-WRC related activities) Preliminary views on all agenda items Contributions to the various working groups: terrestrial fixed/mobile, satellite fixed/mobile, digital dividend and others Much interest/debate surrounding harmonized channel arrangements (3.4-3.8 GHz) If implementing mobile BB take into account listed frequency arrangements and basic principles Although in Radio Regulations as per the allocation to MS, broadcasters stressed that was an invitation to implement MS, while satellite operators highlighted incompatibility of MS / FSS Interest in activities dealing with terrestrial convergence -particularly Broadcast and Mobile Contribution on current trends in multimedia delivery. Digital Dividend Band Plan (700 MHz) US presented PS and commercial mobile BB usage Latin American countries (Columbia, Ecuador, Mexico) adopted Asia Pacific channeling arrangement Various new Recommendations, Decisions and Resolutions The 21st meeting of PCC.II will be held the week of 8 - 12 April 2013 CITEL PCC-II Meetings
