RRC-06 Results related to Other Primary Services
BR Biennial Seminar
Geneva, Switzerland 30 October 3 November 2006
2
Outline of the presentation

• Allocation and utilization issues
• RRC-04 and intersessional activities
• Results of RRC-06
• Coordination and notification of Other Primary
  Terrestrial Services (OPS)
• Implementation of RRC-06 decisions

3
Allocation aspects
4
Utilization aspects

• Prior to RRC-04 MIFR contained 8580 assignments
  to OPS in the planned bands
• Some administration intensively used OPS in the
  planned bands (RR5.312, RR5.316)
• Provisions of ST61 and GE89 provided for
  compatibility between broadcasting and OPS
• Regulatory status and utilization resulted in
  the protection of OPS during the planning

5
RRC-04 decisions concerning OPS

• Which assignments to protect ? Definition
  of existing and planned OPS assignments
• How to coordinate OPS ? Procedure of
  coordination with the broadcasting service
• What services shall be protected ? List
  of other primary services
• How to protect OPS ? Protection criteria
  (field strength, PRs, percentage of time,
  locations, propagation curves)

6
Intersessional activities

• Development of missing protection criteria and
  working assumptions by Study Group and PXT
• Coordination of OPS with broadcasting service,
  submission of assignments to the BR
• Identification of coordination requirements for
  OPS by the Bureau
• Establishment of OPS reference situations at the
  request of administrations

RRC-06 activities related to OPS

• Establishment of the final Reference Situation
  for OPS on 23 May 2006
• Development of the digital Plan taking into
  account other primary terrestrial services
• Development of GE06 Agreement containing
  different provisions for OPS
• Creation of List of assignments to other primary
  terrestrial services (List)

RRC-06 planning process

OPS in GE06 Agreement

• Definition of OPS Nos.1.14 and 1.15 of Art. 1
• Coordination Procedure - Section 4.2 of Art. 4
• Notification Procedure - Section 5.2 of Art. 5
• Description of OPS systems - Chapter 4, Ann. 2
• Characteristics to be submitted Annex 3
• Identification of affected adm.- Section I, Ann.
  4
• List of OPS assignments Annex 5

12
Definition of other primary services

• 1.14 Other primary terrestrial services The
  primary terrestrial services other than the
  broadcasting service, and the primary radio
  astronomy service, to which the frequency bands
  174-230 MHz and/or 470-862 MHz are allocated in
  the Planning Area in accordance with Article 5 of
  the Radio Regulations.

13
Coordination procedure - General

• Procedure is described in Section 4.2 of Art. 4
• Applied to new or modified OPS assignments
• Consists in coordination of OPS assignment with
  broadcasting service of all affected
  administrations
• Affected administrations are identified by
  territory according to Section I of Annex 4
• No coordination OPS vis-à-vis OPS is effected

14
Coordination procedure - Initiation

• A sends parameters and agreements with other
  administrations to BR
• Electronic forms G11 to G14 should be used
• BR identifies affected administrations
• BR publishes Special Section (SS) in BRIFIC
  within 40 days from receipt

15
Inclusion in Coordination procedure

• Adm. B asks to remove its name from the list of
  agreeing administrations BR removes the
  name and informs A
• Adm. C asks to add its name to the list of
  affected administrations BR verifies
  whether the request is justified
• If justified BR informs A and C and
  publishes Addendum to Special Section
• If not justified - BR informs C, no other
  actions

16
Coordination procedure - Seeking agreement

• Administrations attempt to reach agreement
• 50 days after SS BR asks to give decision
• 75 days after SS BR informs A on status of
  coordination
• No reply within 75 days considered as objection
• A may asks assistance. BR sends reminder
• No reply within 40 days after reminder is
  considered as agreement
• If continuing disagreement study by BR

17
Completion of coordination procedure

• A sends final characteristics to the BR
• BR publishes Part B of Special Section and
  updates the List
• If change in characteristics results in newly
  affected, the procedure is re-applied
• Time limit for coordination 24 months after the
  75 day period
• BR assistance may requested before or at any
  stage of the procedure

18
Specific features of coordination procedure

• Shortcut, if all agreements are obtained
• No reply within 75 days is considered as
  objection
• Duration of the procedure is 24 months
• Change in parameters leads to re-application of
  the procedure
• Agreement can be for a limited period
• Deletion from List if no notification is received
  under Art.11 within 12 months

19
Notification procedure (1)

• Contained in Section 5.2 of Art. 5, based on Art.
  11 of the Radio Regulations
• Notification is made not earlier than 3 months
  prior to bringing assignment into operation
• Notification is made not later than 12 months
  after entering in the List
• BR performs 2 examinations regulatory (RR),
  conformity to List (existence and parameters)
• If both findings are favourable MIFR, if
  unfavourable return to the administration

20
Notification procedure (2)

• Provision No. 5.2.4 - possibility to record
  assignment on a non-interference basis
• If continuing disagreement and there is no entry
  in List A may notify under Art.11
• BR formulates unfavourable CONFORM LIST finding
  and returns assignment
• A resubmits assignment with signed commitment
  of non-interference basis
• BR records assignment in the MIFR with
  unfavourable CONFORM LIST finding and names of
  non-agreeing administrations
• A shall eliminate interference, if occurs.

21
Implementation of RRC-06 decisions

• Modifications in TerRaSys databases (GE06, ST61,
  GE89, MIFR)
• Development of new electronic notice forms for
  OPS (G11 G14)
• Development of new calculation and verification
  software

22
RRC-06 implementation software, databases

• Creation of new Fragment GE06L in TerRaSys -
  List of OPS assignments
• Revision of findings in the MIFR, regulatory,
  CONFORM LIST findings
• Addition of new fields introduced by RRC-06 for
  application of Art. 4 and 5
• Changes in different TerRaSys programs
  receivability, validation, query, display

RRC-06 implementation G11 G14 notices

• G11 to G14 notice types are based on T11 T14
  notices
• G11 - G14 are described in CR/261 of 3.08.06
• Administrations shall submit electronic notices
  only
• G11-G14 notices are for primary and secondary
  other services in GE06 bands
• G11 G14 are applied from 3.08.06
• T11 - T14 shall not be used under GE06

• Maximum effective antenna height
• Effective antenna height in 36 azimuths
• Antenna gain towards the local horizon
• Signed commitment of operation on a
  non-interference basis
• Expiry date of the assignment
• Identifier of the digital entry

27
Example of GE06 application (1)

• Deployment of new fixed station in GE06 bands
• Identify affected administrations Section I of

• Coordinate with affected administrations GE06
  protection criteria, mutually agreed methods
• Choose and prepare elec. notice to BR Annex 3,

Example of GE06 application (3)

• Finalise Art. 4 procedure, BR enters FX in List
• Notify FX assignment according to Art.5

  in List, not earlier 3 months prior putting into
  operation
• Notification under Art.5 Annex 3, CR/261 (the
