ERC Recommendation 70-03 Annex 5 (I)
ERC Recommendation 70-03 Annex 5 (II)
On-going Activities in Europe for TTT
•
ERC Recommendation 70-03 Annex 5 approved for public consultation on 13 February
2015. Stramlines the regulatory terminology. Introduces a definition for automotive radar:
 Automotive radar is defined as a moving radar device, at ground or sea level, and
supporting functions of the vehicle.
•
Be aware that:
 76-77 GHz includes also infrastructure radars in the current regulation; it’s also used
at railway level crossings or airplanes during taxiing
 On-going compatibility studies in CEPT between automotive and fixed infrastructure
radars (incl. ETSI creating new harmonised standard for fixed infrastructure radars)
 Helicopter radar anti-collision application operating in 76-79 GHz
 New results can be used in the next update of the EC Decision for Short Range
Devices
 Note: 5.9 GHz 24 GHz, 63-64 GHz, 76-77 GHz, 77-81 GHz are covered by several EC
Decisions
On-going activities in Europe for ITS
(Intelligent Transportation systems)
•
Revision of ECC Decision (08)01 and ECC Recommendation (08)01 – Target: relaxed
unwanted emission limits
Frequency range
Usage
Regulation
5 905 MHz to 5 925 MHz
5 875 MHz to 5 905 MHz
Future ITS applications
ITS safety
(not limited to road safety!)
ITS non-safety applications
ECC Decision (08)01
ECC Decision (08)01
Commission Decision
ECC Recommendation(08)01
5 855 MHz to 5 875 MHz
•
ITS not restricted to road vehicles
•
Regulators consider other transportation applications should share the ITS frequencies
such as Urban Rail Systems (based on an analysis) – also future ITS applications->
driverless vehicles / autonomous systems
•
New EC Mandate on urban transportation under development
•
Co-existence issues with road tolling (several technical solutions) and on-going studies
under 5 GHz Mandate from the EC (RLAN)
ITS frequency provisions in major markets
63-64 GHz
•
Identified since 1992, covered by ‘ITS regulation’ but can also be used by sensors
•
Harmonised in EC Decision for SRDs and ECC Decision (09)01
•
Subject to review NOW
•
No implementations (or near future) implementations in the market known (although there
is a work item for revision of the harmonised European standard and information in ITU-R)
•
Competing interests (e.g. unlicensed FWA) -> the band is available worldwide under
general authorisations
•
Regulators have asked ETSI to provide information (if any): if nothing ‘tangible’ is
provided, there is a chance that the band can get lost for automotive applications
Status in Frequency regulation
•
ITS entries in frequency tables recognized as application in the mobile service (5.9 GHz,
63-64 GHz)
•
All other entries recognized as ‘short range devices’, under Art. 4.4 of the Radio
Regulations, i.e. no protection status, no connection to any radio service allocation
•
World Radio Conference 2015 Agenda item 1.18 to consider a primary allocation to the
radiolocation service for automotive applications in the 77.5-78.0 GHz frequency band in
accordance with Resolution 654 (WRC-12). Conference preparatory actions continue
discussions on whether the new allocation to the radiolocation in the band 77.5-78 should
be generic or restricted through a footnote to radar systems described in ITU-R
Recommendation M.2057. No agreement reached yet. AI 1.18 relevant for some
administrations outside Europe before they implement 77-81 GHz SRR. Example Japan:
today: 78-81 GHz SRR.
•
•
SRD status also provides an advantage: issues not linked to WRC (more flexible)
‘De-facto protection’ when importance in the market (see road tolling)
Outside of Europe
•
ITU-R Report M.2153 or regional reports such as APT Report 35 (see in www.afis.dk)
reveal that there are still a considerable number of countries having not implemented
certain regulatory provisions to allow car sensors
•
Ultra-wideband: only Europe having a regulatory section for ‘vehicle use’ – many
differences worldwide, e.g. mitigation techniques (see also the following page). CEPT
Report 45 provides an overview of the vehicle related provisions -> 6th Update SRD
(permanent mandate)
•
76-77 GHz: In 2011-14, a considerable number of countries introduced regulations for 77
GHz SRR: Canada, USA, Mexico, China, India, Japan (may increase in near future to 1
GHz), Korea, Singapore.
•
CEPT prepares input to ITU-R WP1B June 2015 to foster additional harmonisation (under
RESOLUTION 54)
•
77-81 GHz is THE major issue in international harmonisation (e.g. FCC proposing part 95
inclusion, not part 15)
77 GHz
