Péter Vári Director for Frequency and Identifier Management The most important decisions of WRC-12 and their impact on the development of mobile services (Agenda Item 1.17)

WRC-12

Over

3000 participants,

representing

165

States attended the four-week Conference.

out of ITU’s 193 Member Unpredented number of proposals (more than 1700)

153 countries signed treaty

governing spectrum and satellite orbit WRC-12 addressed some

30 agenda items

related to frequency allocation and frequency sharing for the efficient use of spectrum and orbital resources.

Thus ensuring high quality radiocommunication services for mobile and satellite communications, maritime and aeronautical transport as well as for scientific purposes related to the environment, meteorology and climatology, disaster prediction, mitigation and relief.

Conference was a resounding

success,

having achieved consensus on all technical matters as well as on other, more difficult issues.

Key WRC-12 highlights

•

Increase efficiency in the use of the spectrum/orbit resource:

• clarification of the notion of bringing into use,

BR

initiate enquiries to administrations to provide information on the movement of satellites. Improved due diligence information, •to foster the long term access and development of the Broadcasting Satellite Service (BSS) in the 21,4-22 GHz band •improved the satellite coordination by reducing the coordination arc in parts of the most congested spectrum

Early warning, disaster mitigation and relief operations:

•WRC-12 addressed the application of new technologies, such as IMT and intelligent transport systems (ITS) •continue studying aspects of radiocommunications and ICT that are relevant to early warning, disaster mitigation and relief operations •encouraged administrations to consider using identified frequency bands when undertaking their national planning for the purposes of achieving regionally harmonized frequency bands or ranges for advanced public protection and disaster relief solutions.

Meteorological-satellite service gets more bandwidth:

•WRC-12 allocated

additional spectrum

to the meteorological-satellite service .

Oceanographic radars

:

get support (40 MHz band)

Maritime services:

•New provisions in the Radio Regulations to improve satellite

detection of automatic information

systems using VHF channels.

•The conference considered the

use of new technologies

in the maritime service (defines the channel numbering for maritime VHF communications based on 25 kHz channel spacing as well as where digital technologies could be deployed).

Aeronautical mobile (route) service

• The allocation of the frequency band 960−1164 MHz to the aeronautical mobile (route) service is intended to support the introduction of applications and concepts in air traffic management

Agenda item 1.17

Frequency allocation table: no change!

Footnotes:

• 5.312(MOD): Additional allocation : in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Russian Federation, Georgia, Hungary , Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Poland, Kyrgyzstan, Slovakia, the Czech Rep., Romania, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Ukraine, the band 645-862 MHz , in Bulgaria the bands 646-686 MHz, 726-758 MHz, 766-814 MHz and 822 862 MHz, in Romania the band 830-862 MHz, and in Poland, the band 830 860 MHz until 31 December 2012 and the band 860-862 MHz until 31 December 2017, areis also allocated to the aeronautical radionavigation service on a primary basis.

(WRC-0312) •

5.3XX (NEW)

Resolution :In Region 1, the use of the band 694-790 MHz by the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service is subject to the provisions of

COM5/10 (WRC-12)

. See also Resolution

Resolution COM 5/10

6

Use of the frequency band 694-790 MHz by the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service in Region 1 and related studies

Resolves:

-

to allocate the

frequency band 694-790 MHz

except aeronautical mobile, service in Region 1

to the mobile on a co-primary basis

with other , services, - this

allocation is effective immediately after WRC-15,

- use of the allocation

is subject to agreement obtained under No. 9.21

with respect to the aeronautical radionavigation service in countries listed in No.

5.312

; - that

the lower edge of the allocation is subject to refinement

-that WRC-15 will at WRC-15,

specify the technical and regulatory conditions

applicable to the mobile service allocation

Invites ITU-R to study:

-

Spectrum requirement mobil broadcasting (lower edge), -Challenging arrengements (harmonization, compatiblilty)

Resolution 749 (Rev.WRC-12) Use of the band 790-862 MHz in countries of Region 1 and the Islamic Republic of Iran by mobile applications and by other services

Resolves:

• Seek agreement under No.

9.21

with respect to the aeronautical radionavigation service in the countries mentioned in No.

5.312

of the Radio Regulations; • Coordination: a) protection of the broadcasting: mobil with bandwidth 25 kHz b) sharing studies (Annex1: Criteria for aeronautical radionavigation service) • Adjacent channel interference: mutually agreed criteria or ITU-R BT Rec.

• Further study (Res.224) 7

CPM-12 decision

Administrative Circular CA/201 . (Annex10) •

Establishment of Joint Task Group 4-5-6-7

Agenda item 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 [COM6/8] (WRC-12)

”

; •

Agenda item 1.2

„to examine the results of ITU-R studies, in accordance with Resolution 232 [COM5/10] (WRC-12), on the use of the frequency band 694 790 MHz by the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service in Region 1 and take the appropriate measures ”
