House keeping
PLACEHOLDER ON HOW TO USE INTRADO PLATFORM
The deployment of 5G will bring large benefits to mobile services and users over the coming years. Allocating spectrum in the 5925/6425 – 7125MHz band for 5G-NR and its evolution is a critical building block making it economically feasible to offer 5G services at a price point that is affordable to all income groups.
Starting with the existing trends and anticipating further evolution in the longer term, this second webinar on the topic elaborates on the importance of making more spectrum available for IMT as an essential means to achieve the 5G vision in developed and developing markets. It considers the fact that the 6GHz mid-band spectrum represents a very strong candidate band for this purpose.

“1.2 to consider identification of the frequency bands 3 300-3 400 MHz, 3 600-3 800 MHz, 6 425-7 025 MHz, 7 025-7 125 MHz and 10.0-10.5 GHz for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), including possible additional allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis”
• For 6 GHz means studying:– 7 025-7 125 MHz (globally)
– 6 425-7 025 MHz (Region 1)
• WRC-15 has studied coexistence in the 5925-6425 MHz range (Reports ITU-R
S.2367 and F.2326)
• New studies needs to be performed during the upcoming WRC period to revaluate IMT-FSS coexistence in the 6 GHz band, taking into account:– 5G power spectral density
– 5G active antenna systems / beamforming
– Recent ITU-R recommendations

Conclusions
• The 6 GHz band is envisioned as a good IMT complement for the C-band in many countries
• National spectrum availability for license exempt in mid-bands 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz plus 60 GHz should be assessed
• Regulators to decide among license exempt and licensed use based on national connectivity targets
• It is important to enable international flexibility for the 6 GHz band (tuning range)
• Industry must contribute effectively to WRC-23 AI 1.2 to facilitate FSS-IMT sharing with adequate protection for FSS to help providing flexibility on the international level

Finding the right balance for the future shape of the 6GHz band - Slovene vision
6 GHz Workshop (15 December)
Regulators’ cornerFinding the right balance for the future shape of the 6GHz band - Slovene vision
Meta Pavšek Taškov, AKOS, Slovenia, Head of Mobile Communications
Which bands could be options across
the CEPT?Could bands such as 6GHz be options across the CEPT?
Slovenia has already assigned 2.6 GHz band, will auction 2.3 GHz, 3.6 GHz band and supports 6GHz band for IMT. Frequency bands 4.4-5GHz are not available.
Existing licensed spectrum Spectrum to be auctioned in Q1 2021
- Slovene multiband auction- mid bands 2.1 GHz, 2.3 GHz and in 3.4 GHz–3.8 GHz band
- For verticals local auction parts of 2.3 & 3.6 GHz
Finding the required mid-band spectrum -Slovene vision
There is a need for more spectrum in mid-bands enabling enough large bandwidth for higher throughputs and other use cases for mobile operators in the next 5-7 years
How much spectrum (if any) could realistically be made available for IMT in the C-band across CEPTcountries?
– 100MHz contiguous / MNO is needed in the first 5G deployments to support high capacity citywide connectivity, in second phase (5 – 7 years): 200 MHz - 400 MHz would be required.
The end user average monthly traffic (DoU) is expected to be growing fast driven by:HD/UHD video and AR/VR applications “on the move”
The evolution of devices (see the thinner AR/VR glasses, foldable screens: DJ screens, Fabric Pop Up Curve Displays)
COVID-19 crisis – investments in e-health care, smart home, smart cities and smart manufacturing,
FWA (in remote areas with limited availability of fiber)
Popularisation of unlimited data tariff plans

New facts WRC-23 should re-valuate the IMT-FSS coexistence at 6 GHz in S.2367 Report (WRC-15) taking into account new technological features of 5G/IMT 2020 and new ITU-R Recs:
Active Antenna Systems: beamforming implemented over Massive MIMO antennas,
For 5G (with beamforming) power density could be lower than for 4G (with larger radiation angle and constant power)
New ITU-R Recs: ITU-R P.2108 for Earth-space clutter loss, P.619 for Earth-space propagation, P.2109 for building entry loss (published in 2017)
Work on going in ITU and 3GPP (IMT and incumbent parameters and models)Source WE&Huaewi, WRC-19, Why 5G ?
How can it be ensured that the requirements of satellite and other incumbent users of mid-band spectrum are fully taken care of?
Slovenian vision of 6 GHz band usage in Europe
– 5925 – 6425 MHzFS & RLAN (license exempt) coexistence: • compatibility is described in ECC Report 302
and ECC Report 316, CEPT Report 73
• Draft CEPT Report 75: two stage approach for FS protection (geolocation database and Country Determination Capability)
– 6425-7125 MHzFS & MFCN: IMT – FS coexistence: Licensed use - coordination on a case by case basis :
• Coordination is easier under licensing regime
• Long hop links: Co-existence in urban areas will be less of an issue (fewer links).
The right balance between RLAN & and IMT. Wi-Fi speed bottleneck lies in the backhaul part (e.g. fixed network or even 5G). Wi-Fi cannot provide guaranteed QoS.
Wi-Fi can be seen as complementary rather than alternative.
Conclusions
There is a need for more spectrum in mid-bands enabling enough large bandwidth for higher throughputs and other use cases for mobile operators
The band will be used in the next 5-7 years.
The lower 6 GHz band is already in process of harmonisation for WAS/RLAN (protection of FS to be secured)
We propose for upper 6 GHz a licensed approach, as we feel that the frequency band could be used similarly as the band 3400 - 3800 MHz. We believe, that frequency bands 3400 - 3800 MHz and 6425-7125 MHz are complements.
The licensed approach uppers 6GHz bands will better protect incumbent services e.g. FS, FSS.
Therefore licensed use for IMT is preferred solution.

The full allocation of the band to unlicensed services would not be efficient
Most operators in the region advocate for a balanced solution, allocating the lower part of the band (5.925-6.425 MHz) to unlicensed services and the higher part of the band (6.425-7.125 MHz) to IMT
This balanced decision will benefit customers and service providers of both technologies, mobile and WiFi6, and will have a positive impact in terms of fostering investments and competition

IMT (5G-NR) provides similar wide area coverage in the 6 and 3.5 GHz bands
3GPP channel model, 3.5GHz vs. 6GHz:
• Outdoor-to-outdoor propagation difference: 5.4dB
• Outdoor-to-indoor penetration difference: 4.3dB
3400-3800 MHz band might not be sufficient in the longer run:The 6GHz band could be a good complement to address the forecasted needs.
There is a small gap between 6GHz and 3.5GHz coverage (DL and UL). The gap could be compensated with new BS architectures and UE capability enhancements.
Co-existence with Fixed Service
FS Typical applications
• Long distance P-P links / backbone links (12-65 km)
• Mainly in rural / remote areas (at least one hop )
• At known locations with known characteristics
• Mainly supporting mobile and broadcasting networks
• Mostly link-by-link assignments (block assignments in few cases)
IMT – FS coexistence: Toolbox
Coordination (spectrum sharing)
• on a case-by-case basis by network planning:
• coordination zone depending on: the relative antenna positions,

In Latin America, the bottle neck is in the Fixed Broadband access,
not in RLAN spectrum availability
Latin America can benefit from 6GHz licensed for citywide high capacity use cases and FWA
We recommend careful consideration of any decision that may be affected by later decisions at WRC-23
6GHz RLAN equipment roaming between countries
needs to be controlled
• 6GHz RLAN equipment is becoming available
• Policy decisions for unlicensed spectum use is an irreversible choice
• 5G NR and RLAN cannot share spectrum in the same area: the unpredictable access to the shared resources would undermine NR investments
• Countries that decide for licensed spectrum use should not suffer interference from unlicensed devices developed for other countries
• Movement of unlicensed equipment is difficult to control by regulators
• A solution is required to control the equipment circulation accross between countries
The vendors’ recommendation for 6GHz
WRC-23 is a great opportunityto ensure spectrum harmonization for IMT

on a worldwide scale and greatly contribute to global economic growth and social development;
• The IMT technology development and deployment continue contributing to creating a large number of new jobs and GDP growth;
• 5G is a pillar of digital transformation, enhancing mobile broadband and enabling new use cases;
• 5G connectivity is essential for the development of new information technologies, such as IoT, cloud computing, big data,
artificial intelligence, etc.;
• The user mobile data consumption is increasing and will keep growing rapidly and not only by human users;
• More spectrum is needed for 5G to meet the future network capacity and coverage demand for citywide use cases;
• in particular, the 6GHz frequency band is a strong candidate to offer seamless high capacity citywide with licensed spectrum;
• The WRC-23 preparatory work has started in the ITU-R in relation to the possible IMT identification of the 6GHz band,
the standardization work in 3GPP is on its way.
We therefore recommend policy makers and stakeholders
to carefully assess the opportunity of IMT identification at the WRC-23 within the 6GHz band
which will be important to establish the large scale ecosystem for this band.
