Executive Summary
Due to the dominant use of the 17.7-19.7 GHz band by terrestrial systems, potential
deployment issues of BATS systems might be encountered. In order to anticipate these
difficulties, an overview of the current European regulatory situation and radio-
communication services usage is necessary. A Questionnaire was used to contact CEPT
member States to gather information on the use of the Ka-band on their respective territory.
The Questionnaire covers two different aspects; first the theory of the Regulations by
interrogating countries on their implementation status of the ECC Decisions, then the
practical aspects of these implementations by questioning the CEPT member States about
the current systems deployed in their country. As in all Questionnaires, the conclusions
reflect the data provided by the questioned administrations
The purpose of the document is to process and synthesize the data provided through this
Questionnaire by administrations in order to formulate recommendations on the use of the
Ka-band by the future BATS systems.

1 Introduction
The Radio Regulations of the ITU defines, in general terms, the management of the radio
electric spectrum all over the world. However, some flexibility exists in the actual usage of
the frequency bands at the regional and the national levels.
In Europe, at the regional level, the CEPT keeps the European Common Allocation (ECA)
Table up to date with the long term goal of harmonizing the radio electric spectrum usage
over the 48 member countries. Each country has at its disposal its own frequency allocation
table managed by the National Regulatory Authority (NRA). Usually this table follows the
Radio Regulations but can have, to a certain extent, some national specificity.
In order to reach its requested high capacity, the BATS project aims at using a large
percentage of the Ka-band (in the exclusive bands as well as in the shared bands). In the
purpose of reducing to a minimum the risk of harmful interference to the terrestrial services
by the BATS systems, information about the operational situation and the regulatory situation
(present and future) of the terrestrial services is necessary.
This questionnaire is submitted under cover of the European Commission BATS project. Its
main objective is to perform accurate sharing studies between Fixed Satellite Service and the
other services within the Ka-band.
This questionnaire is divided into two sections. Both sections focus on the “shared Ka-band”
(17.3 – 20.2 GHz) and the unplanned BSS band (21.4-22.0 GHz).
The aim of the first section is to get an overview of the possible service deployment
throughout the European Region. This assessment is done via analysing the detailed
implementation of all ECC Decisions concerning the Ka-band in the CEPT member States.
The second section’s goal is to assess the current and planned usage of the Ka-band in the
CEPT Member States territory.

2 The Questionnaire
Description 2.1
In order to reach its requested high capacity, the BATS project aims at using a large
percentage of the Ka-band (in the exclusive bands as well as in the shared bands). In the
purpose of reducing to a minimum the risk of harmful interference to the terrestrial services
by the BATS systems, information about the operational situation and the regulatory situation
(present and future) of the terrestrial services is necessary.
The Questionnaire main objective is to perform accurate sharing analysis between Fixed
Satellite Service and the other services within the Ka-band.
The Questionnaire is set up in two sections:
First section deals with pure regulatory aspects. Its purpose is to get a precise
overview of the implementation of the ECC decisions and licensing conditions by
each administration;
The second section deals with the service allocations and associated applications in
the band 17.3-22.0 GHz in each administration.
The Questionnaire is attached in Annex A

Statistics on the answers received from the European Union.
Airbus Defence and Space focused onto the administrations part of the European Union as
the Questionnaire is under the cover of the European Commission. Among the European
Union Administrations:
1 administration (Iceland) could not be contacted due to
the lack of contact point* (4 %)
21 answered Questionnaires out of 28 administrations
(75 %)
6 administrations out of 28 have not answered (21 %).
The main reason provided was that the administration’s
work power was not sufficient to perform the requested task.
Statistics on the answers received from the CEPT member states
Airbus Defence and Space tried to enlarge the scope of the Questionnaire in order to have a
more consistent view of the deployment possibilities in Europe in the shared Ka-band by
sending the Questionnaire to CEPT Member administrations which are not part of the EU:
14 administrations could not be contacted due to the
lack of contact point* (29 %) mainly small
administrations such as Andorra.
25 answered Questionnaires out of 48 administrations
(52 %)
9 administrations out of 48 have not answered (19 %)
Statistics on the answers received from the CEPT
member states which were contacted
25 answered Questionnaires out of 34 administrations
(74 %)
9 administrations out of 34 have not answered (26 %)
* This is due to the fact that some administrations don’t have the resource to participate
to the ITU and CEPT working Groups and so Airbus Defence and Space was not in a
position to obtain a contact point to whom send the Questionnaire.

3 Implementation of the CEPT/ECC Decisions
The ECC Decisions are published in an effort to harmonize the use of the spectrum at the
European level. However the implementation of the Decisions is free to each Member States.
A Decision can be either fully implemented or partially implemented or, in some cases, not
implemented at all depending on the national regulatory framework. In the case of a decision
partially implemented, no information is provided concerning the part of the Decision to which
it applies. The Questionnaire presented to CEPT Member States enables thus to determine
which part of the ECC Decisions of interest are or are not implemented.
Figure 3-1 – Summary of ECC Decisions scope
17.3-20.2 GHz 3.1
The downlink Ka-band is segmented into three portions depending on the type of services
which uses it:
17.3-17.7 GHz exclusively designated for Fixed Satellite Service;
17.7-19.7 GHz shared between Fixed Satellite Service and Terrestrial Services,
with a “super-priority” of terrestrial services over the Satellite Uncoordinated User
Terminals;
19.7-20.2 GHz also exclusively designated for Fixed Satellite Service.
The following sections summarize the results received from CEPT administrations to the
Questionnaire PART 1 dealing with the free circulation of user terminals and the licensing
regime of such terminals for each sub-bands.

17.3-17.7 GHz 3.1.1
The ECC Decision ECC/DEC/(05)08 [1] assimilates the frequency bands 17.3-17.7 GHz to
the use of high density applications for FSS subject to the market demand, this use is
exempt from individual licensing. However, this assimilation does not establish the priority or
the usage exclusion among the users of the primary services assigned to these bands. The
table below shows the application of this ECC Decision throughout the CEPT members.
Q1: Is the band available for high density FSS?
Q2: Are UT exempted from individual licensing1?
Q3: Is the deployment of UT authorised?

The following figure shows the current use of Fixed Satellite Service (downlink) and Terrestrial Services in each CEPT Member States:
Figure 3-3 – Current usage of the 17.3-17.7 GHz band by Satellite and Terrestrial services
The Figure 3-3 confirms that this band is free of terrestrial deployment. Besides, Most of the
countries allow deployment of FSS uncoordinated Earth stations in this band. This authorized
usage seems to be matched by the current use of the band by satellite systems.

The 17.7-19.7 GHz frequency band is shared between terrestrial and space services.
However the Uncoordinated Earth stations of the FSS shall not claim protection of the
terrestrial services according to the ERC/DEC/(00)07 [3]. This section analyses the possible
deployments of uncoordinated and coordinated FSS earth stations throughout CEPT
Member States.
Q1: Is the deployment of UT authorised?
Q2: Are UT exempted from individual licensing?
Q3: Can Gateways receive protection from terrestrial services?
Q4: Can UT receive protection from terrestrial services?

Most of CEPT countries authorize the deployment of uncoordinated FSS earth stations in a
non-protected basis on their territory. The maps in Figure 3-5 to Figure 3-10 show that this
deployment is shared with Terrestrial systems, mainly consisting of backhauling links for
Hand Mobile Systems. Consequently a FSS user terminal can be interfered without recourse
at any time (see also the compliance matrix in BATS report D8.3.1).

19.7-20.2 GHz 3.1.3
The ECC Decision ECC/DEC/(05)08 assimilates the frequency bands 19.7-20.2 GHz to the
use of high density applications for FSS subject to the market demand, this use is exempt
from individual licensing. However, this assimilation does not establish the priority or the
usage exclusion among the users of the primary services assigned to these bands. The table
below shows the application of this ECC Decision throughout the CEPT members.
Q1: Is the band available for high density FSS?
Q2: Are UT exempted from individual licensing?
Q3: Is the deployment of UT authorised?

Figure 3-12 - Current usage of the 19.7-20.2 GHz band by Satellite and Terrestrial services
Figure 3-12 confirms that this band is free of terrestrial services deployment. It is also to be
noted that most European countries allow deployment of FSS uncoordinated earth stations
on their territory. Some of the countries do not exempt the FSS terminals from individual
licensing even if the band is on satellite exclusive use. This is due to the fact that broadband
terminals are not “receive only” terminals and do emit in another band. Such emission is
under licensing procedure.

27.5-30.0 GHz 3.2
The ECC Decision ECC/DEC/(05)01 [4] sets the conditions for which specific segments of
the 27.5-29.5 GHz spectrum are for use by uncoordinated earth stations (user terminals for
example) whereas other parts of the 27.5-29.5 GHz spectrum are for use by terrestrial links
of the Fixed Service.
In accordance to this Decision:
The bands 27.5-27.8285 GHz (328.5 MHz), 28.4445-28.8365 GHz (392 MHz) and
29.4525-29.5 GHz (47.5 MHz) are dedicated to the use of uncoordinated earth
stations operating in the Fixed-Satellite Service;
The bands 27.8285-28.4445 GHz (616 MHz) and 28.9485-29.4525 GHz (504 MHz)
are dedicated to the use of Fixed Service systems;
The band 28.8365-28.9485 GHz (112 MHz) is also designated for the use of
uncoordinated Fixed-Satellite Service earth stations, without prejudice to the Fixed
Service systems licensed in this band in some countries prior to Mars 2005.

Although the deployment of FS stations is not authorized anymore in this part of the band,
some administrations allow further developments of these systems, namely Estonia,
Lithuania, Serbia and Slovenia. This has to be taken care of for future deployment of satellite
terminals. It is also to be noted that the United Kingdom has a particular spectrum
segmentation. The upper 100 MHz does not allow FSS uncoordinated earth stations
deployment at the contrary to the CEPT Decision.

4 Conclusions
Deployment of user terminals is possible over most of the European countries in the band
17.7-19.7 GHz.
Terrestrial system deployment is dominant over satellite receiver deployment in Europe as it
can be seen on Figure 3-5 - Current usage of the 17.7-18.1 GHz band by Satellite and
Terrestrial services to Figure 3-10 - Current usage of the 19.3-19.7 GHz band by Satellite
and Terrestrial services and summarised below in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: 17.7-19.7 GHz band current usage in the questioned CEPT member States
In 70% of the questioned countries they have satellite and terrestrial services sharing
spectrum on their territory. Another 15% of the questioned administrations have terrestrial
links on their territory using the frequency band but have no information concerning a
potential satellite usage. Finally the left 15% of the CEPT member States interrogated have
no satellite systems currently deployed over their territory.
In order to allow usage of the 17.7-19.7 GHz frequency band for BATS terminals two
additional measures are necessary:
Deployment of terminal under an unprotected basis;
Exemption from individual licensing of the terminals.

Unprotected Deployment
This band is open in reception to user terminal deployment on an unprotected basis (i.e. a
terminal may be interfered without notice or recourse by a neighbouring terrestrial link should
such situation occur). In such case a BATS terminal may either have to change coding or
dynamically switch channel to a non-interfered carrier in the allocated satellite beam or to
switch to the exclusive Ka-band (i.e. 17.7-19.7 GHz), etc…
Figure 4-2: 17.7-19.7 GHz band protection of User Terminals in the questioned CEPT member States
In practice, 90% of the questioned administrations follow the principle of the deployment of
user terminals on an unprotected basis vis-à-vis of terrestrial links interferences as previously

Terminals operating in the 17.7-19.7 GHz are broadband terminal which licensing regime is
driven by the situation in the uplink frequency bands.

More than half of the questioned countries (63%) exempt the user terminals from individual
licensing. Among these, three quarter of the administrations have set conditions on the
exemption through the transmit characteristics of the terminal. The other quarter seems to
not impose any burden on the exemption from individual licensing. The remaining
administrations either do not exempt the terminal from individual licensing or did not provide
any detail on the licensing regime of user terminals over their territory.
The use of earth stations such as Gateways can be done over the whole Ka-band but will
have to go through a process of coordination with the Fixed Services and with NGSO
satellites systems (some bands only). This coordination process may impose minor technical
and/or geographical limitations of these stations (minor constraint (see Report D8.3.1).

BATS project Executive Summary
The research project BATS (Broadband Access via integrated Terrestrial & Satellite systems) addresses the delivery of BroadBand (BB) future services in Europe according to the EC Digital Agenda objective to reliable deliver >30Mbps to 100% of European households by 2020.
In order to accommodate the areas of Europe which are 'unserved' and 'underserved' in terms of BB availability, an Ultra High Throughput Satellite System is researched that provides order of magnitude cost/bit reductions and solutions to existing market barriers of bandwidth and latency limitations. BATS proposes a novel architecture which combines the flexibility, large coverage and high capacity of future multi-spot beam satellites, the low latency of fixed DSL lines, and the pervasiveness of mobile/wireless access. The BB service will be delivered via an Intelligent User Gateway (IUG), dynamically routing each traffic flow according to its service needs through the most appropriate delivery mechanism to optimise the Quality of Experience (QoE). To cope with such integrated scenario, BATS will provide a unified network management framework.
High Level Architecture
As shown in Figure 1, the choice of networks available at some location may be limited. These are described as "unserved" where there is no BB access and “under-served where there is BB access which falls below the 30Mb/s target and even below the lower 2Mbps level.
In urban areas, cable, fibre and mobile networks will meet the majority of needs. However satellite may have an important role as a resilient back up for users that require high availability or for which lack of connectivity would be disastrous, satellite can also deliver multicast application.
As illustrated in Figure 2, the BATS architecture includes diversity of routing at both the Intelligent User Gateway at the user's premises and within the core network to allow routing via the most suitable ground station and the "feeder link" when satellite communications is used.
Figure 1 – network diversity and availability
BATS (317533) Ref: 2013/ATB3/XI/13-023

Considering the satellite feeder link diversity first: terabit/s satellite systems will use multiple high-gain spot beam antennas to give smaller, controllable areas of geographical coverage. This will enable frequency re-use for the spectrum used to communicate with a very large number of IUG. These satellites may not include on-board routing of individual data packets: all communications from or to IUG will be consolidated within other traffic and routed to or from a ground station via a "feeder link".
The feeder links are likely to use higher frequency radio spectrum because it can yield greater capacity. The feeder link may use Ka-band (17.7-20.2 GHz & 27.5-30 GHz), but is more likely to use the Q/V bands (37.5-38.5 GHz & 40.5-41.5 GHz) with a possibility that the feeder links could also operate at optical frequencies.
In order to reach the high capacity aimed by the BATS system, a large percentage of the Ka-band will have to be used (in the exclusive bands as well as in the shared bands). To reduce to a minimum the interference risk between the terrestrial services and the BATS systems.

BATS Project questions to regulation authority i
Presentation of the Questionnaire
In order to reach its requested high capacity, the BATS project aims at using a large
percentage of the Ka-band (in the exclusive bands as well as in the shared bands). In the
purpose of reducing to a minimum the risk of harmful interference to the terrestrial services
by the BATS systems, information about the operational situation and the regulatory situation
(present and future) of the terrestrial services is necessary.
This questionnaire is submitted under cover of the European Commission BATS project. Its
main objective is to perform accurate sharing studies between Fixed Satellite Service and the
other services within the Ka-band.
This questionnaire is divided into two sections.
- 1st Section:
Focus on the “shared Ka-band” (17.3 – 20.2 GHz) and the Unplanned BSS band
(21.4-22.0 GHz). Their objective is to assess the level of interference generated
by terrestrial services onto the BATS user terminals for downlink signals, to
compute the QOS.
- 2nd Section:
Aims at gathering information on the implementation of the different ECC/ERC
Decisions in the 17.3-20.2 GHz and the 27.5-30.0 GHz frequency bands in order to
obtain a general understanding of the regulatory situation in each country.
Case (a): worst case – main lobe interference
low elevation satellite
Case (b): basic case – main lobe interference
high elevation satellite
