• Need to avoid recent instances of interference
• On-going studies to
• Identify technical and procedural recommendations
• Enable WRC-11 to provide recognition to

C4 - AI 1.24 consider extension to band
7850-7900 MHz of existing MetSat allocation at
7750-7850 MHz, for NGSO sat. (space-to-Earth)

• Band 7.75-7.85GHz currently used by NGSO polar
  MetSat, transmitting typically in data dump modes
  to large earth stations
• High-resolution sensors in future NGSO MetSat
  (2017-2020) will require an extension of current
  allocation by 50 MHz
• Data obtained with these sensors are essential
  for global weather forecast, climate changes and
  hazard predictions
• Sharing situation with other services is same in
  both bands
• On-going studies to

C5 - AI 1.7 meet requirements for AMS(R)S, while
retaining the generic MSS allocation at
1525-1559 and 1626.5-1660.5 MHz

• High-priority AMS(R)S communications are
  essential for safety and regularity of flights in
  civil air transportation
• Expected increase of spectrum demand for current
  and future AMS(R)S systems
• Rep. ITU-R M.2073 concluded that use of
  prioritization and inter-system real-time
  pre-emptive access is not practical
• On-going studies to
• Ensure long-term spectrum availability for the
  AMS(R)S
• Identify existing future AMS(R)S spectrum
  requirements,
• Assess whether that can be met with current
  allocation and new technical/regulatory means or,
  otherwise, new allocations for AMS(R)S
  communications

47
C5 - AI 1.13 studies on spectrum usage of the
21.4-22 GHz band for the BSS and the associated
feeder-link bands in Regions 1 and 3

  extremely high resolution imagery (EHRI)
  applications(see Rec. ITU-R BT.1201 and Rep.
  ITU-R BT.2042)

  HDTV BSS systems in this band on a
  first-come-first-served basis
• a priori planning of this band is not necessary

  harmonize the long-term usage of this band,
  assessing various planning methodologies,
  coordination procedures or other procedures and
  BSS technologies

48
C5 - AI 1.18 extending existing 1mary and 2ndary
RDSS (space-to-Earth) allocations at
2483.5-2500 MHz to make a global primary
allocation

• Demand for position and time determination by
  means of satellite systems is expected to
  continue to grow since it offers great societal
  benefits
• Band already allocated on primary basis to RDSS
  and other services (FS, MS, MSS, RLS) in many
  countries
• On-going studies
• On technical, operational and regulatory aspects
  of the possible RDSS compatibility with other
  services in that band
• To achieve a Worldwide RDSS allocation in order
  to simplify receiver and antenna designs and thus
  reduce their cost

49
C5 - AI 1.25 consider possible additional
allocations to the MSS with particular focus on
the bands between 4 GHz and 16 GHz

• Shortfall of spectrum available for the satellite
  component of IMT for the year 2020 (Report
  ITU-R M.2077) - between 19 and 90 MHz
  (Earth-to-space direction)- between 144 and
  257 MHz (space-to-Earth direction)
• Other MSS systems may also require additional
  spectrum
• On-going studies on
• Identification of new possible MSS allocations in
  both Earth-to-space and space-to-Earth
  directions, focusing on the 4-16 GHz band, but
  without placing undue constraints on existing
  services

50
C5 - AI 7 Consider possible improvements to API,
coordination, notification and recording
procedures for satellite networks - Res. 86

• Opportunity to review the RR procedures for
  satellite networks
• To solve difficulties in application of RR
  provisions,
• To correct deficiencies, simplify or update the
  procedures,
• To transfer some Rules of Procedure into the RR
• To ensure that RR procedures reflect latest
  technologies
• On-going studies to
• Provide WRC-11 with proposed solutions on how to
  deal with above-mentioned types of cases, yet to
  be identified
