C Band issues for WRC-15: 2nd Round?

Forum: Future of C Band in Asia-PacificITU Regional Radiocommunication Seminar for Asia-Pacific (RRS-13-Asia-Pacific)Nadi, Fiji, 1st November 2013

- All Spectrum Bands are already allocated (Innal: RR, IFT; nal.: NAFT)

- Effective Assignments, and intensive exploitation of frequencies below 4 GHz (Administrations)

- Attending the needs for more Spectrum from some services, is only possible by modifying the current allocation of other ones

- A “refarming” is necessary: where to migrate an incumbent service to let the room to a new comer?

- How to avoid a “domino” effect?2

SPECTRUM ALLOCATIONS

Responding to growing Capacity Demand (Mbps) can be improved by:-New technologies: better spectrum efficiency (Mbps/MHz); e.g. TDT

- Increasing Radio Stations (lower coverage (traffic)/Station); e.g. Femtocells

-Allocating more Spectrum - Prevent Domino’s Effect: - Compare and prioritize growing demands (and

social impact)- Foster network updating (spectrum efficiency)

WRC-07 Decision: No ChangeWRC-15 Agenda Items

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)o) Report ITU-R M.2109, on sharing studies between IMT-Advanced systems and geostationary-satellite networks in the fixed-satellite service in the 3.400-4.200 and 4 500-4 800 MHz frequency bands;
