Any frequency assignment to a transmitting station and to
its associated receiving stations except for those
mentioned in Nos. 11.13 and 11.14 shall be notified to the
ITUWhy
Radio
Bureau.

Which assignments should be notified?
How to notify an assignment?
When to notify ?
Where to notify ?
International registration provides:
international recognition of services and frequency plans;
It is usual to notify international frequency use after successful
negotiations between countries;
There are some circumstances detailed in the ITU Radio
Regulations when an administration is obliged to notify its use
of the spectrum.

Considering Other Users
• The procedures for allocating frequencies must
also consider the impact of other countries’
assignments as published in:
– ITU Frequency Plans;
– the ITU International Frequencies List (IFL); and
– Information circulars published by the
Radiocommunication Bureau (IFIC).

International Frequency Coordination
• Since the electromagnetic spectrum is a global shared asset,
otherwise autonomous administrations must agree to cooperate
for the benefit of all.
• The ITU Radio Regulations are the basis for this agreement.
• The agreed procedures aim to avoid mutual interference by
exchanging and analysing frequency allocation data.
Coordination Procedures:
• There are three main parts to formal coordination procedures:
– how the process will be administered;
– how information is to be recorded, and exchanged;
– how technical information is to be gathered, analysed and
reported.
• Coordination procedures will also specify restrictions on uses of
assigned frequencies.

THE NEED FOR COORDINATION
WITH WHOM ?
ADMINISTRATIONS OF NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES WHOSE
TERRITORIES LIE WHOLLY OR PARTLY WITHIN THE
COORDINATION AREA OF THE PLANNED STATION
WHEN ?
BEFORE NOTIFYING TO THE RADIOCOMMUNICATION BUREAU OR
BRINGING INTO USE ANY FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENT TO AN STATION
• Coordination is a regulatory obligation:
- for the administration wishing to assign a frequency to a station;
- for any other administration whose services might be affected;
• The agreement resulting from the coordination involves certain legal
rights and obligations
• Coordination must be effected in accordance with RR procedures and
on the basis of the criteria established by the RR or agreement
between administrations.
ComBalSat
CoE SM Workshop Kiev- 2003
Notification of frequency Assignment for recording in the Master Register
COORDINATION
Coordination of a new network is required when it
operates in the same frequency bands as networks that:
-are in conformity with the provisions of the RR;
- are already recorded in the Master Register;
- or have already been coordinated
- or are undergoing coordination in accordance with Section
II of Art.11;
-if the threshold value of AP29 is exceeded
- Coordination is not required: RR1066-RR1071
• Information required by Appendix S4 (Circular Letter CR/65) sent
to all Administrations with which coordination is required
• Copy sent to the Bureau
• Can commence minimum 6 months after AP-I
• Must be carried out before notification or bringing into use

a)Examination of Notices
 The Bureau examines Appendix 3 information for completeness and
conformity with:
- Table of Frequency Allocations
- Other provisions of the RR (except for coordination provisions and
probability of harmful interference)
 The Bureau identifies any other Administration whose space services
might be affected
 The Bureau publishes the coordination request in a Special Section of
its Weekly Circular including the results of its examination

b) Examination
of
notices
Notification of frequency Assignment for recording in the Master Register
Examination of notices
If
the notice contains all the necessary information, it is
published in Part I of the Weekly Circular at the latest two
months after its receipt (11.28/RR 1235). Subsequent
processing of a notice varies according to the frequency
band and service concerned. Article 11 (12) specifies the
various cases.
It is to be noted that the former systematic examination of the
probability of harmful interference, in the bands below 28 MHz,
no longer appears in the Regulations adopted by WRC-95 and
WAC-97, and was even abandoned as from 18 November 1995,
pursuant to the decisions of WRC-95.

HOW
to notify a frequency
assignment?
Practical exercise on filling in of notice forms:
Seminars and Information meetings
•World Seminar every two years in Geneva
•Two or three Regional Seminars every other year
•Regional Conference Preparatory Meetings

Incorrect data in SRS database
The detailed examination of the SRS database and the
corresponding IFIC’s shows more than 20000 cases (assignments)
containing incorrect data:
maximum power density in 1 Hz (Pd) is less than average
power in Hz of the emission (Pav) with up to 76 dB (Pav_Pd)
(Table.1.);
Pav = Pa - BWdb
maximum power density (Pd) is higher than total power
(Pa) (Table.2.);
bandwidth of the emission (BWemiss) is wider than the
bandwidth of the channel (bdwdth) (Table.3), etc.
Examination with such incorrect data results in incorrect findings of
the BR. The satellite networks would not work using such vallues of
the parameters, but the coordinations on paper are completed
successfuly.

Notification of frequency Assignment for recording in the Master Register
Conclusions
• The usefulness of the Master Register depends on the
notifications made by each administration
Analysis of the ITU-BR SRS database show that a large number
of networks, already operational, have not been sent to BR for
notification:
-“INTELSAT5 XXX” – 57 notices are under coordination;
-“INTELSAT7 XXX” – 106 notices are under coordination;
-“INTELSAT8 XXX” – 126 notices are under coordination;
-“INTELSAT9 XXX” – all notices are under coordination.

Coordination request
Coordination information shall be sent (Nos. 9.29, 9.31) by the
requesting administration (Administration A) to all administrations
(Administration B) identified using coordination area.
The coordination is expected to be concluded within a period of four
months but may take longer in many cases due to the requirement
for detailed interference calculations between the earth station and
existing or planned terrestrial stations. The requesting
administration may, therefore, sometimes receive a copy of the
diagram indicating the location of existing terrestrial
radiocommunication stations and/or the ones planned to be brought
into use in the next three years within the coordination area of the
earth station, together with relevant basic characteristics and with
such suggestions to achieve a satisfactory solution to the problem.

a)Terrestrial stations
Coordination of terrestrial stations within the
coordination area of an earth station
Coordination with respect to earth station
assignments
which are :
• in conformity with RR1503 and
• either coordinated under RR1107 or for which
coordination has been initiated (not for Res 46)
or
• recorded in the MIFR with a favourable finding.
Administration requesting coordination should
send to the Administration concerned :
- Diagram with location of the terrestrial stations ;
- characteristics of frequency assignments ;
- planned date of bringing into use.

b)Terrestrial stations
Coordination of frequency assignments to
terrestrial stations for transmission in relation
to earth stations (Section IV, Article 9; Res 46)
- Protection of receiving earth stations
(Coordination of receiving terrestrial stations is not
required w.r. to transmitting E.S.)

Affected Administrations
• Affected Administration examines coordination
request and then notifies requesting Administration
within 4 months of date of publication of either:
- its agreement to the proposal, or
- its disagreement, along with pertinent details upon
which disagreement is based .
• Administration initiating coordination communicates
to the Bureau, after 4 months, the agreement obtained
and the progress made with other administrations.

Examination of the coordination request
• Collect technical data for terrestrial stations to be
taken into consideration :
- recorded in MIFR;
- in operation in conformity with the RR but not
yet notified to the BR;
Technical examination
- draw on a map with an appropriate scale the location
of the terrestrial stations
- calculate (or use notified) E.I.R.P. of the transmitting
terrestrial stations
- determine the antenna gain of the terrestrial stations
in the earth station direction
- auxiliary contours for the earth stations
