WRC-15 Quick Reference (Space)
Spectrum for Mobile Broadband (AI1.1 & 1.2)Growing IMT traffic; 159 to 1075 MHz spectrum needed by 2020. WRC-15: • Allocations to MS and/or “identifications for IMT” in 470-694/698, 694-790 (R1),1427-1518, 3300-3400,
3400-3700, 4800-4990 MHz with conditions e.g. non-interference, PFD limits, 9.21 to protect existing• C-band:
• 3400-3600 MHz: upgrade MS & IMT for R1/2 & 11 ctry in R3 (9.17, 9.18, 9.21 & PFD)• 3600-3700 MHz: IMT in 4 R2 countries (9.17, 9.18, 9.21 & PFD)
• Total IMT spectrum 1886 MHz
Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) (AI1.3, 9.1.1 & 9.1.7)To harmonized PPDR bands (economies of scale, interoperability, cross-border operation), review Res. 647 on emergency and disaster relief communication, better protection of 406 – 406.1 MHz (Cospas-Sarsat). WRC-15:• Encouraged to use harmonized bands, especially for broadband in 694 – 894 MHz Global, 380-470 MHz
406.1-430, 440-470 & 4940-4990 MHz R3• Protection of 406-406.1 MHz (MSS reception of Cospas-Sarsat) from out-of-band emissions (not to assign
adjacent bands to FS/MS, BR to organize monitoring programs administrations to avoid frequency drifts of radiosondes)
Earth Stations on-board Vessels (ESVs)(AI1.8)5.457A and Res. 902 (WRC-03) provide technical, regulatory and operational conditions under which ESVs may communicate with space stations of FSS in bands 5 925-6 425 MHz and 14-14.5 GHz. WRC-15:• Possibility to use smaller (1.2m) antenna for ESVs in 5 925-6 425 MHz (min distance 330 km)• Res902 (WRC-03) continues to apply
Satellite Regulatory Procedures (AI7)Improvements to regulatory procedures for A,C,N,R to satellite networks. WRC-15:• MOD 11.49 suspension period reduced when suspension information received >6 m• SUP requirement for submission of API (subject to coordination)• New Res40 (WRC-15) to increase transparency when one space station is used to BIU assignments to GSO
networks at different orbital locations within a short period of time• MOD 13.6 to include reason for BR’ query and specify period for BR to inform administration of its
conclusion in response to administrations’ replies
Earth Stations in Motion (ESIM)5.526 provides conditions for ESIM with GSO FSS in 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30 GHz in R2 and 20.1-20.2 GHz 29.9-30 GHz in R1/3WRC-15:• New 5.527A & Res156 set conditions for ESIM with GSO FSS in 19.7-20.2, 29.5-30.0 GHz, extended to ALL
Regions
Coordination Arc Reduction (AI9.1.2)WRC-15:• C-band: CA reduced from 8 to 7deg, PFD uplink for 11.32A• Ku-band: CA reduced from 7 to 6deg, PFD uplink/downlink for 11.32A• PFD for outside of CA, if met no potential for HI (Res762)
Ap30/30A DecisionsNo comment within 4m = no agreement: For comments on Special Sections published under §4.1.5 of R1 & 3 related to submissions published from 01.01.2017 (§4.1.10).Conversion from analogue to digital: WRC-15 adopted Res 556 (WRC-15) to convert to digital assignments in Ap30/30A R1, 3 & List. To be implemented in BR IFIC 2836 of 10 January 2017
FSS for UAS (AI1.5)Rapid UAS development & future integration in conventional air traffic; reliable terrestrial and satellite links critical; possible solution to use FSS links for UAS. Need to ensure reliable links, protection of terrestrial, development of new ICAO standards. WRC-15:• Res155 allowing use of FSS GSO for UAS after development of ICAO aeronautical SARPs• Total spectrum Ku-band (970 MHz global, 1520 MHz regional), Ka-band (1000 MHz global)• Avoid impact on terrestrial services and other FSS / to operate in existing interference environment• BR: to identify new UAS class of station, examine Res155 to identify actions by administrations, not to
process filings until all conditions are met, liaise with ICAOGlobal Flight Tracking (GFT)For continuous aircraft surveillance; satellite tracking could complement terrestrial tracking; Urgent issue (MH370), PP-14 adopted Res185 and established AI on GFT. WRC-15:• New allocation AMS(R)S 1087.7-1092.3 MHz for satellite reception ADS-B (5.328AA)• Res425 conditions: not claiming protection from ARNS, to operate in existing interference environment,
compliance with ICAO standardsFixed-Satellite Service (FSS) in 10-17 GHz (AI1.6)To balance between uplink/downlink & Regions. WRC-15:• New primary allocation to FSS• 13.4-13.65 GHz in R1 downlink – GSO, PFD hard limits, 9.7 & 9.21• 14.5-14.75 GHz in 30 ctry R1/2 & 14.5-14.8 GHz in 9 ctry R3 – GSO, min ES antenna, PSD limits, PFD limits
toward coast, PFD limits towards GSO, min sep distance of ES, 9.7 & AP30A#7.1FSS in 5 091-5 150 MHz (AI1.7)Allocated to FSS uplink for FL MSS NGSO up to 01.01.2018, then becomes 2ndarz to ARNS and no new assignments after 01.01.2016. WRC-15:• From 28.11.2015, primary allocation without time limitation• Subject to Res114 (Rev.WRC-15) – Not cause HI to ARNS• New coordination requirement for FSS ES within 450 km from territory of administration operating ARNS
ground stationsMaritime-Mobile Satellite Service (MMSS) in 7375-7750/8025-8400 MHz (AI1.9.2)Spectrum shortfall for current and future applications in 7/8GHz. WRC-15:• New primary allocation to MMSS in 7 375 – 7 750 MHz downlink• No allocation to 8025-8400 MHz uplink (traffic much less & sharing difficult)Earth-Exploration Satellite Service (EESS) in 7-8 GHz (AI1.11)Uplink of large data for operations plans & dynamic spacecraft software modifications, 2025-2110 & 2200-2290 MHz TTC bands not sufficient. WRC15:• New primary allocation to EESS uplink limited to TTC in 7190-7250MHz band (34% increase)• Protect existing & future stations in fixed, mobile & SREESS (active) in 8-9 GHz (AI1.12)EESS (active) BW in 8-9 GHz was 600MHz. Growing demand for higher res for environmental monitoring up to 1200 MHz BW needed. WRC-15:• New primary allocation to EESS(active) of 600 MHz BW in 9.2-9.3, 9.9-10 & 10-10.4GHz bands• Provision to protect existing and future fixed and mobile stationsFinal Acts: www.itu.int/pub/R-ACT-WRC.12-2015WRC-15 minutes/decisions: www.itu.int/md/R00-CR-CIR-0389/en
