arrangements of Appendix 17 to the Radio
Regulations, in accordance with Resolution 351
(Rev.WRC-07), in order to implement new digital
technologies for the maritime mobile service

arrangements of Appendix 17 to the Radio
Regulations, in accordance with Resolution 351
(Rev.WRC-07), in order to implement new digital
technologies for the maritime mobile service
AI 1.9 to revise frequencies and
channelling arrangements of Appendix 17 to the
Radio Regulations, in accordance with Resolution
351 (Rev.WRC-07), in order to implement new
digital technologies for the maritime mobile
service PV Support the revision of RR
Appendix 17 in order to implement the use of new
digital technologies for the maritime mobile
service, taking into account that (Brazil,
Canada, USA) AI 1.12 to protect the
primary services in the band 37-38 GHz from
interference resulting from aeronautical mobile
service operations, taking into account the
results of ITU-R studies, in accordance with
Resolution 754 (WRC-07) PV Support for
sharing studies in the band 37-38 GHz to
determine appropriate compatibility criteria for
the AMS. The establishment of sharing criteria
that both protects the other primary services in
the band 37-38 GHz, as well as allows for
compatible AMS applications, if the studies show
that this sharing is feasible with particular AMS
applications.The suppression of the AMS from the
37-38 GHz band, only if the studies show that
sharing is not feasible.

WRC-12 Agenda Items of interest to Aviation

• AI 1.14 to consider requirements for new
  applications in the radiolocation service and
  review allocations or regulatory provisions for
  implementation of the radiolocation service in
  the range 30-300 MHz, in accordance with
  Resolution 611 
• PV To adopt new allocations that would support
  radiolocation operations within 30-300 MHz ITU-R
  studies must demonstrate that radiolocation
  systems are compatible and do not cause
  interference to existing services, including
  mobile-satellite, mobile (including aeronautical
  mobile), land mobile, fixed, radio astronomy,
  amateur, and amateur-satellite. Some regulatory
  text in the form of one or more applicable
  footnotes may be necessary to ensure incumbent
  services are protected if the radiolocation
  service is allocated in the 30-300 MHz band.
• AI 1.15 to consider possible allocations in the
  range 3-50 MHz to the radiolocation service for
  oceanographic radar applications, taking into
  account the results of ITU-R studies, in
  accordance with Resolution 612 (WRC-07)
• PV The United States and Canada support studies
  of the sub-bands near 4.5 MHz, 13 MHz, 27 MHz,
  and 45MHz. If a radiolocation allocation is made
  in these sub-bands then appropriate regulatory
  provisions may be necessary to ensure that
  incumbent services are protected.

• AI 1.19 to consider regulatory measures and
  their relevance, in order to enable the
  introduction of software-defined radio and
  cognitive radio systems, based on the results of

  (WRC-07)
• PP No regulatory actions by WRC-12 are required
  in order to permit the implementation of either
  SDR or CRS technologies in the context of any
  system of any radiocommunication service.
  Therefore, no changes to the Radio Regulations
  are needed to address SDR and CRS as they are
  technologies, each with its own attributes, and
  not radiocommunication services. With respect to
  the definitions, description, or characterization
  of SDR or CRS, there is no need to include a
  definition of SDR or CRS in Article 1 of the
  Radio Regulations.
• AI 1.21 to consider a primary allocation to the
  radiolocation service in the band 15.4 15.7

• PV If the studies identified in Resolution 614
  (WRC-07) demonstrate that the incumbent services
  and systems can be protected from the potential
  use of the 15.4-15.7 GHz band by radiolocation
  systems, the United States supports a new primary
  allocation to the radiolocation service in the
  band 15.4-15.7 GHz

  short range devices on radiocommunication
  services in accordance with Resolution 953
  (WRC-07)
• PV Brazil, Canada, US and Uruguay are of the

  for SRDs are needed in the Radio Regulations.
  Further, much of the work required to advance
  harmonization can be done through ITU-R
  Recommendations and Reports.
• AI 1.23 to consider an allocation of about 15
  kHz in parts of the band 415-526.5 kHz to the
  amateur service on a secondary basis, taking into
  account the need to protect existing services
• PV Support the allocation of about 15 kHz to the
  amateur service on a secondary basis in the band
  415-526.5 kHz provided that appropriate ITU-R
  sharing studies demonstrate compatibility of this
  allocation with the existing services, including
  the maritime mobile service.(Canada, Dominican
  Republic, US) In addition Canada supports an
  allocation to the amateur service on a secondary
  basis in the range 493-510 kHz, noting that
  protection of incumbent services could be further
  addressed in a similar manner to the provisions
  provided in No. 5.82B.
