WRC Agenda item 1.3

• Consider upgrading the radiolocation service to
  primary allocation status in the bands
  9 000-9 200 MHz and 9 300-9 500 MHz Radar Group
  (CAA/MCA/MOD)
• The radiolocation service in the bands
  9 000-9 200 MHz and 9 300-9 500 MHz shall be
  upgraded to primary status
• Footnote 5.476 shall be suppressed
• extending by up to 200 MHz the existing primary
  allocations to the Earth exploration-satellite
  service (EESS) (active) and the space research
  service (SRS) (active) in the band
  9 500-9 800 MHz
• The band 9 300-9 500 MHz shall be allocated to
  the Earth Exploration-satellite service (active)
  and to the SRS (active) on a primary basis
  indicating that this extension is limited to EESS
  (active) and SRS (active) systems that need a
  band wider than the bandwidth available between
  9 500-9 800 MHz
• The band 9 800-9 900 MHz shall additionally be
  allocated to the Earth exploration-satellite
  service (active) and to the space research
  service (active) on a primary basis, indicating
  that this extension is limited to Earth
  exploration-satellite service (active) and space
  research service (active) systems that need a
  bandwidth wider than the bandwidth available
  within 9 300-9 800 MHz.
• Footnote 5.476A shall be extended to cover also
  the bands 9 300-9 500 MHz and 9 800-9 900 MHz and
  the footnote text shall be modified accordingly.

WRC Agenda item 1.4

• to consider frequency-related matters for the
  future development of IMT-2000 and systems beyond
  IMT-2000
• Europe is proposing no change for allocations to
  services in RR Article 5 for the bands 410 - 430
  MHz, 2300 - 2400 MHz, 2700 - 2900 MHz and 4400 -
  4990 MHz.

WRC Agenda item 1.5

• to consider spectrum requirements and possible
  additional spectrum allocations for aeronautical
  telecommand and high bit-rate aeronautical
  telemetry
• Europe supports at least 105 MHz additional
  spectrum requirements to satisfy wideband
  aeronautical mobile telemetry requirements above
  3 GHz based on studies related to Aeronautical
  flight testing
• No secondary allocation to the mobile service in
  the frequency band 3 16 GHz has been identified
  for the implementation of wideband aeronautical
  telemetry and associated telecommand
• Due to successful results of sharing studies to
  accommodate spectrum requirements for telemetry,
  Europe supports a primary allocation to the
  aeronautical mobile service in the band 5091-5150
  and 5150-5250 MHz for telemetry applications
  limited to those systems for which compatibility
  analyses have been completed by WRC-07
• Due to the unavailability of the aeronautical
  technology it is assessed that the bands already
  allocated to mobile service above 16 GHz are not
  suitable for the short term telemetry and
  associated telecommand requirements

9
WRC Agenda item 1.6

• to consider additional allocations for the
  aeronautical mobile (R) service in parts of the
  bands between 108 MHz and 6 GHz
• Europe proposes three new allocations
  (112-117.975 MHz, 960-1 164 MHz and 5 091-5 150
  MHz) for the Aeronautical Mobile (R) Service on a
  primary basis and limited to systems that will
  operate in accordance with international
  aeronautical standards
• These allocations to be reviewed at WRC 2011
• Europe also proposes one new allocation (5
  091-5 150 MHz) for the Aeronautical Mobile
  Service on a primary basis and limited to
  aeronautical security applications
• to study current satellite frequency allocations,
  that will support the modernization of civil
  aviation telecommunication systems
• Suppress Resolution 415

10
WRC Agenda item 1.13

• to review the allocations to all services in the
  HF bands between 4 MHz and 10 MHz, excluding
  those allocations to services in the frequency
  range 7 000-7 200 kHz and those bands whose
  allotment plans are in Appendices 25, 26 and 27
• This sub-part addresses only the Resolution 351.
• It is proposed to modify the part A of Appendix
  17 in order to reduce the actual frequencies for
  NBDP to the GMDSS requirement (see Appendix 15),
  to release the rest of the majority of the
  frequencies for the possible use for data
  transmission using digital technology (e.g. see
  Recommendation ITU-R M HF DATA) in the maritime
  mobile service, including the bands for Morse
  frequencies.
• In part B of Appendix 17 changes are proposed
  accordingly to part A. The section dealing with
  Morse frequencies are candidates for suppression
  due to the new utilisation proposed above. The
  spectrum remain available for the maritime mobile
  service.
• In part B Section I Radiotelephony, it is
  proposed to add a note authorizing the
  Administrations to notify assignments to stations
  in the maritime mobile service other than those
  using radiotelephony

11
WRC Agenda item 1.16

• to consider the regulatory and operational
  provisions for Maritime Mobile Service Identities
  (MMSIs) for equipment other than shipborne mobile
  equipment)
• Europe proposes amendments to Article 19 of the
  Radio Regulations to allow for the assignment of
  MMSIs to search and rescue (SAR) aircrafts, aids
  to navigation and crafts associated with a parent
  ship.

12
WRC Agenda item 1.17

• to consider the results of ITU-R studies on
  compatibility between the fixed-satellite service
  and other services around 1.4 GHz
• Europe proposes to suppress the provisional
  allocation to FSS in the 1.4 GHz band

13
WRC Agenda item 1.20

• to consider the results of studies, and proposals
  for regulatory measures if appropriate regarding
  the protection of the EESS (passive) from
  unwanted emissions of active services
• Limit unwanted emissions of radiolocation
  stations in the band 1350 1400 MHz into the
  passive band 1400 1427 MHz to -29 dBW/27 MHz
• This is a mean power
• Applicability date of systems installed after 1st
  January 2015

14
WRC Agenda item 1.21

• to consider the results of studies regarding the
  compatibility between the radio astronomy service
  and the active space services
• it is proposed to specify threshold limits for
  some bands where studies have concluded and
  included in the ITU-R Report SM.2091 that the RAS
  protection criteria may be met and that the
  limits would not unduly constrain the development
  of active services. These threshold levels should
  be incorporated in the update version of Annex of
  Resolution 739.

  accordance with Resolution 222 (Rev. WRC-07) to
