High Frequency Standardization

Figure 1 shows the trend of the use of higher frequency bands by the

fixed radio transmission systems, which is illustrated by the release

date of the RF frequency arrangements by the ITU-R F Series

Recommendations.

In 2012, ITU-R F series recommendation about the radio-frequency

channel and block arrangements in the 71-76, 81-86 GHz bands

(ITU-R Recommendation F.5B313), and 92-95 GHz band (ITU-R

Recommendation F.5B307) were adopted. Moreover, ITU-R Report

that covers up to 134 GHz (ITU-R Report F.2107) was approved in

2011.

High Frequency Standardization

Figure 2 shows the channel spacing trend for fixed radio transmission systems. This is

illustrated by the approval dates of RF frequency arrangements in the ITU-R F Series

Recommendations.

Prior to 2002, the maximum channel spacing has been 220 MHz in 18 GHz-band. In 2012,

the radio-frequency channel and block arrangements in the 71-76, 81-86 GHz bands (ITU-R

Recommendation F.5B313) the allocated channel spacing is about 5GHz enabling multi-

gigabit data transmission per channel per link.

Average attenuation for the band 57 – 63 GHz

In rare situation with highly congest

dense environment, attenuation

due to O2 absorption may not be

enough if parallel links use shared

frequency channel. Such situation

should be avoided with the aid of

radio links planning.

mmW Transmission industry still in its

early phase

Big investments necessary to deploy new

features, new frequency bands

Products ranging from

Enterprise level to Carrier-class

Still high costs from lack of key components

Timid and unclear strategy for mmW deployment, still in

evaluation of the technology and small volume deployment

lack of confidence

mmW spectrum not regulated yet, with very different

licensing approaches (even in countries with strong

microwave tradition)

Agenda




Motivation of ETSI mWT ISG

The mWT ISG aims to facilitate the use of the V-band (57-66

GHz), the E-band (71-76 & 81-86 GHz) and in the future higher

frequency bands (from 50 GHz up to 300 GHz) for large volume

applications in the back-hauling and front-hauling to support

mobile network implementation, wireless local loop and any other

service benefitting from high speed wireless transmission..

ToR of the mWT ISG

mWT is intended to address the whole industry value chain with particular

emphasis on:

• Current and future regulations and licensing schemes for the use of suitable

spectrum in different countries

• Putting in communication the whole industry chain to share and circulate

public information regarding the applications in field in order to favor faster and

more effective decisions on investments needed to provide new technologies,

features and equipment

• Influencing standards for the deployment of the products

• Enhancing the confidence of all stakeholders and the general public in the use

of millimeter-wave technologies

ToR of the mWT ISG

The purpose of the ISG mWT is to provide a platform and opportunity for

companies, organizations and any other stakeholder involved in the microwave

and millimeter-wave industry chain to exchange technical information as follows:

• Sharing pure technical information (i.e. on trials aimed at propagation channel

model verification, interference simulation,..) in order to prepare White Papers

and Presentations to increase the level of confidence by the operators

worldwide in the use of millimeter-waves and

• Making it possible for all stakeholders involved in the industry to obtain the

latest technical information including latest research results, promoting

cooperation and technical progress but always avoiding commercial issues and

always under compliance with the relevant competition laws.

The ISG mWT aims to be a worldwide initiative with global reach.

Agenda




mmWave Transmission Forum: high priority topics

1. 60 GHz band regulation: the very fragmented approach in terms of spectrum allocation

and licensing model (despite it’s unlicensed band) is preventing small cell backhaul

applications in some Countries

2. Enhance the confidence in the use of millimetre-wave technologies: sharing the

amount of information derived by trials and early roll-outs on E-band regarding

propagation impairments and availability calculation methods can improve Operators

confidence

3. Definitions of key requirements for most important transmission applications:

macro backhaul, small cell back-haul, front-haul, etc.

4. Identification of most suitable (target) mmW bands for most important transmission

applications

5. ……

Initial planned WIs and deliverables

Following list of initial deliverables has been identified as a high priority for the ISG mWT but is not meant to be exhaustive.

White paper on the 60 to 95 GHz bands regulation: Survey of the actual deployments and the status of international and national regulation worldwide. The result would be presented in a white paper. A live database may need to be maintained and updated on a regular basis.

White paper to ‘Enhance the confidence in the use of millimetre-wave technologies’: sharing the amount of information derived by trials and early roll-outs on V-band and E-band regarding propagation impairments and availability calculation methods which can improve Operators confidence.

Technical report ‘Define the relevant use cases of mmW Transmission’. In this report key requirements for most important transmission applications shall be identified.

Technical report to ‘Identify the most suitable (target) mmW bands in relation to most important transmission applications’.

Technical report on ‘Semiconductor Industry technology (availability of components) status and roadmap’
