Rapporteur: Mr Alexandre Vassiliev (RUS)

Science issues

1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14

• 1.11 consider primary allocation for EESS (E-to-s) in the 7-8 GHz range

• 1.12 consider extension of the current worldwide EESS (active) allocation at 9.3-9.9 GHz by up to 600 MHz within the bands 8.7-9.3 GHz and/or 9.9-10.5 GHz

• 1.13 review No. 5.268, examining possibility of increasing the 5 km distance limitation and allowing SRS (s-to-s) use for proximity operations by space vehicles communicating with an orbiting manned space vehicle

• 1.14 consider feasibility of achieving a continuous reference time- scale, by the modification of UTC or some other method

WRC-15 Agenda items


Consider primary allocation for EESS (E-to-s) in the 7-8 GHz range (with priority to the band 7 145-7 235 MHz)

WRC-15 Agenda item 1.11

•Resolution: 650 (WRC-12) •ITU-R Responsible Group: WP 7B, Next meeting: 24 – 28 Sep. 2012 Background/reasons Limited bandwidth available in the 2 GHz bands for EESS

satellite TT&C, as hundreds of satellites use these bands A new EESS (E-to-s) allocation in the 7-8 GHz range would

- allow its use for TT&C in combination with existing EESS (s-to-E) allocation in the band 8 025-8 400 MHz, - allow for uplinks & downlinks on the same transponder, increasing efficiency and reducing satellite complexity Preliminary sharing analysis indicates that the 7 145-7 235 MHz

range may present a favourable sharing scenario, as for the SRS (E-to-s) (deep space) transmitters operating at 7145-7190 MHz Small number of EESS ground station receivers at 8 GHz MHz,

usually located at high latitudes and could be use for telecommand uplinks

Consider extension (on 1mary or 2ndary basis) of the current worldwide EESS (active) allocation at 9.3-9.9 GHz by up to 600 MHz within the bands 8.7-9.3 GHz and/or 9.9-10.5 GHz


•Resolution: 651 (WRC-12) •ITU-R Responsible Group: WP 7C, Next meeting: 24 – 28 Sep. 2012 Background/reasons Growing demand for increasing radar image resolution in EESS

(active) to satisfy global environmental monitoring (of great value for the global community, see Rec. ITU-R RS.1859 and Rep. ITU-R RS.2178 Part A) The resolution performance of a radar is directly related to its

transmission bandwidth - envisaged space-borne radars in the EESS (active) to reach a resolution of 50 cm or below would required a transmission bandwidth of up to 1 200 MHz Compatibility studies are required to ensure protection of

existing services in the studied bands and adjacent bands, in particular those used by safety service systems, taking into account the constraints as per No. 5.476A

Review No. 5.268, examining possibility of increasing the 5 km distance limitation & allowing SRS (s-to-s) use for proximity

operations by space vehicles com. with orbiting manned space vehicle


•Resolution: 652 (WRC-12) •ITU-R Responsible Group: WP 7B, Next meeting: 24 – 28 Sep. 2012 Background/reasons No. 5.268 restricts the SRS (space-to-space) to

operations within 5 km of an orbiting manned space vehicle No. 5.268 further identifies use of the band 410-420 MHz by SRS (s-to-s) for extra-vehicular activities (EVA) Space vehicles in the vicinity or approaching the ISS need to

communicate over distances greater than 5 km to ensure safe operations & docking manoeuvres, but not at same time as EVA Use of that band would be advantageous as propagation and

physical properties enable comparable coverage performance PDF limits in No. 5.268 ensure protection of FS and MS

terrestrial stations independent of the distance of s-to-s com.





Consider feasibility of achieving a continuous reference time-scale, by the modification of UTC or some other method

•Resolution: 653 (WRC-12) •ITU-R Responsible Group: WP 7A, Next meeting: 24 – 28 Sep. 2012 Background/reasons Rec. ITU-R TF.460-6 on the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

time-scale describes the procedure for the occasional insertion of leap seconds into UTC so as not to differ by more than 0.9 s from the time determined by the rotation of the Earth (UT1) Occasional insertion of leap seconds may create difficulties for

systems & applications that depend on accurate timing (some organizations have requested a continuous time-scale) Local time-of-day and other specialized systems need a time-

scale reckoned with respect to the rotation of the Earth (e.g. GMT) Modification of the definition of UTC may have consequential

changes to RR Nos. 1.14, 2.5, 2.6 and some other RR provisions

• 1.10 consider spectrum requirements and possible additional

spectrum allocations for the MSS (E-to-s & s-to-E), including the satellite component for broadband applications, including IMT, within the range from 22 GHz to 26 GHz

WRC-15 Agenda items


Consider possible additional primary allocations 1.6.1) of 250 MHz (in Region 1) for FSS (E-to-s & s-to-E) within 10-17 GHz and 1.6.2) of 250 MHz (in Region 2) and 300 MHz (in Region 3) for FSS (Earth-to-space) within the range 13-17 GHz, and review the regulatory provisions on the current FSS allocations

within each range, taking into account results of ITU-R studies

48

Background/reasons Existing unplanned bands for the FSS in the 10-15 GHz range

are extensively used for a large variety of applications which have triggered a rapid rise in the demand for this frequency range; For unplanned FSS in Reg.2: 750 MHz E-to-s vs 1.0 GHz (s-to-E)

=> bandwidth limitation in E-to-s direction, => limit full and effective use of the limited frequency resource Need for additional E-to-s freq. bands contiguous (or near

contiguous) to bands already allocated, on a worldwide basis whenever possible taking into account several other factors

Exclude 13-13.25 GHz band from studies & protect App. 30A Plan/List

Prior to 1 January 2018, the use of the band by FSS, providing feeder links for non-GSO systems in the MSS, shall be made in accordance with Res. 114 (Rev. WRC-03)

After 1 January 2016, no new assigmments shall be made to Earth Stations providing feeder links for non-GSO MSS systems

After 1 January 2018, FSS will become secondary to ARNS

Regulatory situation In accordance with No. 5.444A (WRC-07), this additional primary

allocation is subject to the following conditions:








Review the use of the band 5091-5150 MHz by the FSS (Earth-to-space)

(limited to feeder links of N-GSO MSS systems) Background/reasons Studies on compatibility between new ARNS systems and FSS (E-to-s) (limited for feeder-link of non-GSO systems in the MSS) to review the frequency allocation in this band prior to WRC-18 - Priority must be given to the MLS (see No. 5.444) and to other

international standard systems of the ARNS at 5 030-5 150 MHz - Use the band 5 091-5 150 MHz for the MLS may be necessary if its requirements cannot be satisfied in the band 5 030-5 091 MHz

FSS providing feeder links for non-GSO systems in the MSS (FL) need access to this frequency band

While, ADM shall ensure that FL stations do not cause harmful interference to ARNS stations in the band 5091-5150 MHz Preliminary conclusion indicate that it is entirely reasonable to extend this FSS allocation without time limit

use of spread-spectrum modulation & other techniques which may improve compatibility with terrestrial co-frequency services ESV applications can provide high-bandwidth connectivity in

areas where no alternative exists ESVs may have the potential to cause unacceptable interference to

terrestrial services operating in the same bands Earlier ITU-R studies, using technical criteria appropriate at the time,

resulted in a set of limitations on the operation of ESVs contained in Resolution 902 (WRC-03), in order to protect terrestrial services

Results of new studies could lead to a relaxation of Res. 902 limitations
