Footnote 5.357A of R.R. Key Points
•At the frequency coordination, priority shall be given to accommodating
the spectrum requirements of AMS(R)S
•AMS(R)S shall have priority access and immediate availability, by preemption if necessary, over all other MSS
•In the bands 1 545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz
5.357A In applying the procedures of Section II of Article 9 to the mobile-satellite
service in the bands 1 545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz, priority shall be given
to accommodating the spectrum requirements of the aeronautical mobile-satellite (R)
service providing transmission of messages with priority 1 to 6 in Article 44.
Aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service communications with priority 1 to 6 in Article 44
shall have priority access and immediate availability, by pre-emption if necessary, over
all other mobile-satellite communications operating within a network. Mobile-satellite
systems shall not cause unacceptable interference to, or claim protection from,
aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service communications with priority 1 to 6 in Article 44.
Account shall be taken of the priority of safety-related communications in the other
mobile-satellite services. (The provisions of Resolution 222 (WRC-2000)* shall apply.)

Overview (3)
Resolution 222 (Rev. WRC-07) Key Points
Resolves that administrations shall endure;
1 that spectrum needed for AMS(R)S is accommodated in frequency
coordination in the bands where 5.357A applies
2 the use of latest technical advances
3 that MSS yield capacity to accommodate spectrum requirements for
AMS(R)S
Invites ITU-R
i) to study the existing and future spectrum requirements of the AMS(R)S
ii) to assess whether the long-term requirements of the AMS(R)S can be
met within the bands 1,545-1555 MHz and 1646.5-1656.5 MHz
iii) to complete studies to determine the feasibility and practicality of
technical or regulatory means in order to ensure adequate access to
spectrum to accommodate the AMS(R)S requirements
iv) if the assessment indicates that these requirements cannot be met, to
study existing MSS allocations or possible new allocations
Invites ICAO and IATA to participate studies identified above

Civil Aviation Bureau Japan
Overview (4)
Agenda Item 1.7
to consider the results of ITU-R studies in accordance with Resolution
222 (Rev.WRC-07) in order to ensure long-term spectrum availability and
access to spectrum necessary to meet requirements for the aeronautical
mobile-satellite (R) service, and to take appropriate action on this subject,
while retaining unchanged the generic allocation to the mobile-satellite
service in the bands 1 525-1 559 MHz and 1 626.5-1 660.5 MHz
Key Points
•Consider the results of the studies of Res.222 at WRC-12
•Take appropriate action on this subject
•Retain unchanged the generic allocation to MSS
•In the bands 1,525-1559 MHz and 1626.5-1660.5 MHz

Historical Background (1)
Prehistoric times
•Until WARC-87(MOB), 1,545-1559 MHz and 1646.5-1660.5 MHz (14
MHz sub-bands in 34 MHz bands) were exclusively allocated to AMS(R)S

Resolution 222
•WRC-2000 adopted Res. 222 to strengthen 5.357A resolving that;
• administrations shall ensure that
• the spectrum needed for AMS(R)S
• the MSS to yield capacity to accommodate AMS(R)S spectrum
requirement
• study for technical solution

Historical Background (3)
Study for technical solution
•Report ITU-R M.2073 in 2006 under resolves of Res. 222 concluded
that;
•prioritization and inter system real-time pre-emption is not practical
nor effective (There is no technical solution at that time)
Adoption of Agenda Item 1.7
•WRC-07 adopted Agenda Item 1.7 for WRC-12

Frequency Coordination on 1.6/1.5 GHz
Regions 1 & 3 multilateral frequency coordination
•Given the fact that 1.6/1.5 GHz bands are so congested that it is difficult
to coordinate bi-laterally, multilateral coordination forum has been
established in Regions 1 & 3
•The Operator’s Review Meeting (the ORM) is held annually by the
operators in Region 1 (Europe) and Region 3 (Asia/Pacific)
•Participants on the ORM are Inmarsat(GB), Thuraya(UAE),
ESA(France), VOLNA(Russia), ACeS(Indonesia), Optus(Australia),
NAVISAT(Egypt), and MTSAT(Japan)
•AMS(R)S operators in operation are Inmarsat and MTSAT. ESA and
NAVISAT will be AMS(R)S operators in near future
•Region 2 (Americas) also has similar forum

Considerations
Controversial point on footnote 5.357A
•5.357A clearly states that the priority shall be given to AMS(R)S at
frequency coordination, but there is no practical measure to prioritize the
AMS(R)S
Argument between AMS(R)S and MSS
•AMS(R)S states that no consideration has been made for the application
of 5.357A at the frequency coordination on 1.6/1.5 GHz, thus spectrum
requirements of one of the AMS(R)S operator has never been satisfied
•MSS states that there is no issue on 5.357A because there has been no
issue for one of the AMS(R)S operator at frequency coordination on
1.6/1.5 GHz.
•MSS asserts that 5.357A works well and no modification is needed
Possible solution (for AMS(R)S)
•Discrepancy in opinion between AMS(R)S and MSS is irresolvable.
Compilation of different opinions into CPM report is inevitable, so we
have to make wording of CPM report favorable to AMS(R)S as far as
possible

WP4C activities (1)
Discussions on Agenda Item 1.7 in WP4C
•At first, discussions on Agenda Item 1.7 were held in the order of
invites of Res. 222
i) Establish the method to calculate existing and long-term spectrum
requirements of AMS(R)S as ITU-R recommendation
ii) To assess if the spectrum requirements are within 10 MHz
iii) To complete studies of technical and regulatory measures
iv) If requirements are over 10 MHz, study other bands
•As the deadline of CPM text in June 2010 nears, 4th WP4C decided
to postpone the development of recommendation on estimation
method and concentrate on CPM text
•Assume the AMS(R)S spectrum requirements is within 10 MHz
based on the estimation using the draft method
•Complete studies of technical and regulatory measures
•Finalize the recommendation on estimation method after the
submission of CPM text

AMS(R)S Position in WP4C
•Practical measure to give priority to AMS(R)S is needed
•Preliminary estimation shows that the long-term global spectrum
requirement for AMS(R)S is less than 10 MHz
•You do not need to consider the new allocation for AMS(R)S
•The spectrum for AMS(R)S should be assigned based on a longterm requirements (AMS(R)S operators should not be in the position
that worries about next year’s assignment)
Now: The frequency coordination of the1.6/1.5 GHz bands is
conducted in yearly- and equally-basis (not stable for AMS(R)S)
•The spectrum for AMS(R)S should be assigned on a global basis
Now: The frequency coordination of the1.6/1.5 GHz bands is
conducted on a regional basis
Now: There are discrepancies in results among regions

Draft CPM text favorable to AMS(R)S in WP4C
(excerpt from Annex 14 of 4C/338: Chairman’s Report of 4th WP4C)
•Method B – New ITU-R Resolution, or a modified ITU-R Resolution
222 which implements additional procedures for the provision of RR
No. 5.357A
Advantages
–[this method is an efficient use of the bands 1 525-1 559 MHz and 1 626.5-1 660.5 MHz by
AMS(R)S;] [Editor’s note: more explanation regarding this advantage is necessary as its intent
is not clear.]
–priority access to AMS(R)S communications is ensured, and generic MSS networks are able
to share with AMS(R)S networks.
–[this method would not result in placing undue constraints to the existing systems.] [Editor’s
note: to be assessed to the next meeting]
–[this method would result in efficient use of spectrum] [Editor’s note: to be assessed to the
next meeting]
Disadvantages
–[additional worldwide administrative meetings need to be held.]
–[implementation of priority access for AMS(R)S in the 1.5/1.6 GHz band would result in
placing undue constraints to the existing systems.] [Editor’s note: to be assessed to the next
meeting]
–[this method would result in inefficient use of spectrum] [Editor’s note: to be assessed to the
next meeting]

MSS Position in WP4C
•There is no issue on the spectrum allocation for AMS(R)S because
there has been no issue for one of the AMS(R)S operator at
frequency coordination on 1.6/1.5 GHz
•AMS(R)S should go out of the bands 1.6/1.5 GHz regardless of
whether the spectrum requirement is less than 10 MHz or not
•The existence of AMS(R)S is undue constraints to MSS in the
bands 1.6/1.5 GHz

Draft CPM text favorable to MSS in WP4C
(excerpt from Annex 14 of 4C/338: Chairman’s Report of 4th WP4C)
•Method A – No Change to the regulatory provisions of the Radio
Regulations
Advantages
–based on recent studies the spectrum requirements for AMS(R)S up to the year 2025 can be accommodated
in the frequencies bands according to RR No. 5.357A;
–the generic allocation to the mobile-satellite service in the bands 1 525-1 559 MHz and 1 626.5-1 660.5 MHz
remains unchanged, [ensuring the flexible and efficient use of them];
–[no undue constraints are placed on the existing systems operating in the bands 1 525-1 559 MHz and
1 626.5-1 660.5 MHz;]
–the coordination process in these bands between operators at regular annual multilateral coordination
meetings, based on the capacity-planning approach, proves [some] effectiveness over the last 10 years for
accommodating AMS(R)S spectrum requirements;
–[There are no amendments to the RR Article 9 provisions for satellite coordination.]
–[no dissatisfaction with the coordination outcome for an AMS(R)S network has been raised to the level of the
notifying Administrations resulting in an administration invoking the priority provision of RR No 5.357A. Some
administrations are of the view that the existing regulatory procedures are adequate to ensure that the
spectrum requirements of AMS(R)S systems can be satisfied.]
Disadvantages
–[since no additional procedures will be included in the Radio Regulations, the problems that have led to the
adoption of A.I. 1.7 will not be solved.]
–[Meeting the AMS(R)S needs in these bands means existing (non AMS(R)S) MSS operations in the bands 1
545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz may have to yield spectrum causing a reduction in the quality of
service for some users] [Editor’s note: more contributions are needed to explain it.]

WP4C activities (6)
Possible outcome of WP4C (draft CPM text)
Two extreme methods (shown in WP4C activities (3) and (5))and
some intermediate methods are on the floor
•Assign AMS(R)S spectrum before MSS (favorable to AMS(R)S)
•Establish a global-basis frequency coordination scheme for
AMS(R)S and assign spectrums for AMS(R)S operators
•Submit the above result to regional MSS frequency coordination
meetings (e.g. Operators Review Meeting in Regions 1 & 3) and
assign spectrums for MSS operators while avoiding AMS(R)S
allocations
•Measures to be stipulated in footnote and/or recommendation
and/or resolution
•No change at all (favorable to MSS)
•Leave the application of 5.357A (give priority to AMS(R)S) to
regional MSS frequency coordination meetings
•No change to footnote and resolution

WP4C activities (7)
Draft CPM text and debates on it
•WP’s outputs are draft CPM text on Agenda Items
•Draft CPM text consists of the list of proposed measures with
advantages and disadvantages on each measure
•AMS(R)S and MSS debate on draft CPM text to impair the
opponent’s measure
•Both parties try to hit opponent’s sensitive points to lessen the
likelihood of adoption at WRC
•The debate remains as far apart as ever
•Our aim is to keep the texts favorable to AMS(R)S as far as
possible in draft CPM text
•There are two WP4C meetings (March and June 2010) left before
the deadline of CPM text (June 2010)

National Activities
Discussion in Japan
•Mobile Satellite Committee has been established
•Preparation for WRC-12
•Development of Japan’s position on Agenda Items
•MSS operators in Japan generally oppose to Agenda Item 1.7
stemmed from fear of losing spectrum
•We actively discuss with MSS operators to gain their understanding
•The objection largely is based on ignorance, so it is needed to
explain how small our requirements will be compared with MSS’s
requirements and have upper limit

Regional Activities
Discussions in Regional Groups
•APT
•APG 2011-2 was held in June 2009
•Generally support the study conducted in WP4C in its Preliminary
Views
•support studies for estimation method
•support studies for regulatory provisions to ensure long-term
spectrum availability and access for AMS(R)S
•support additional allocations, if the requirements can not be
satisfied without placing undue constraints on MSS
•The comment was raised that 5.357A and Res. 222 give sufficient
priority to AMS(R)S
•APG 2011-3 (2012-3?) will be held in March 2010
•Other Regional Groups (ATU, CEPT, CITEL, LAS and RCC) are also
discussing this issue
