Bridging the Standardization Gap in Rural Communications Workshop - ITU’s Spectrum Management Overview

This workshop held in Bangalore focused on promoting sustainable rural communications, with a specific emphasis on mobile broadband spectrum management and standardization gap bridging. The event highlighted the roles of ITU in global communication standards and guidelines, emphasizing the importance of efficient spectrum allocation, interference-free operations, and harmonization. Key topics included the spectrum requirements for mobile broadband services, allocation of IMT bands, and sharing criteria with other services. ITU's efforts aim to ensure good quality and cost-effective equipment, creating a favorable investment environment. The event provided insights into the international spectrum management framework, including ITU-R regulations, frequency coordination, and WRC decisions. Participants discussed proposed frequency ranges, spectrum sharing, and compatibility issues, while focusing on the development of terrestrial mobile broadband applications.

  1. Joint ITU-GISFI Workshop on “Bridging the Standardization Gap: Workshop on Sustainable Rural Communications”(Bangalore, India, 17-18 December 2012) Spectrum for mobile broadband wireless access Colin Langtry, Chief, Radiocommunication Study Groups Department, ITU Colin.langtry@itu.int

  2. ITU Overview ITU-D ITU-T Promote and assist the extension of ICTs to all the world’s inhabitants - narrowing the digital divide Telecommunication standardization- network and service aspects ITU-R Global radio spectrum management and radiocommunicationstandardization 193 Member States >750 Sector Members,Associates and Academia ITU Helping the World Communicate

  3. Roles of ITU Radiocommunication Sector global standards & guidelines assistance to administrations international regulations • Rights of access to the spectrum • Efficient use of spectrum • Operation free from interference • Economies of scale • Interoperability and roaming • Global harmonization • Guidelines for national & regional regulations GOOD QUALITY AND LESS COSTLY EQUIPMENT MORE FAVOURABLE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT (CLEAR & STABLE ) 3

  4. International spectrum management framework ITU Constitution,Convention High level principles,rights and obligations Plenipot Table of Frequency AllocationsSatellite orbit/terrestrial Plans Frequency coordination Frequency registrationEmergency procedures … Radio RegulationsBi/multilateral Agreements WRCRRC RA/Mail ITU-R Recommendations Technical characteristicsSharing criteria/assessment Spectrum management Operational aspects … ITU-R Reports,Handbooks, software tools Study GroupsWPs, TGs

  5. Radio Regulations • Intergovernmental treaty covering both legal, operational and technical provisions, serves as a supranational instrument for the optimal international management of the radio spectrum • Defines rights and obligations of ITU Member States to access spectrum • Updated every 3 to 4 years 5

  6. Participants: 3000+ Countries: 160+ Companies: 100+ Proposals: 3000+

  7. Good news from WRC-12 Mobile broadband/IMT spectrum • 800 MHz: sharing problems resolved • 700 MHz: allocation to mobile service globally available from 2015 • Additional spectrum: to be considered byWRC-15

  8. ITU-R Studies for WRC-15 on IMT • Agenda items for WRC-15 (Res. 807 (WRC-12)): • 1.1 - Res. 233 (WRC‑12) • consider additional spectrum allocations to MS on a primary basis • identify additional frequency bands for IMT • related regulatory provisions to facilitate development of terrestrial mobile broadband applications • 1.2 - Res. 232 (WRC‑12) • examine the results of ITU‑R studies on the use of the frequency band 694-790 MHz by the mobile, except aeronautical mobile, service in Region 1 and take appropriate measures; Spectrum requirements for the mobile serviceincluding suitable frequency ranges, and other specific requirements including channelling arrangements (WP 5D) Spectrum sharing and compatibility with other services including consolidation of draft CPM text(JTG 4-5-6-7)

  9. WP 5D Spectrum identified for IMT Frequency bands identified for IMT in the Radio Regulations (RR): 9

  10. Proposed frequency ranges WP 5D 10

  11. Proposed frequency ranges WP 5D

  12. WP 5D Initial views on spectrum requirements • Review of the methodology (D. Rev. Rec. ITU-R M.1768) • WP 5D members are considering the followingTotal/Additionalspectrum requirements (in MHz): by 2014:275*; by 2015:600-800**; by 2017:300*;by 2020:1081/300*; 1065/385*; 2020**; 1700-2100**; 1240a/1880b**; 1600-1800* or(300)+200* *Using an original methodology **Using Rec. ITU-R M.1768 a for lower user densityb for higher user density

  13. WP 5D Input to JTG 4-5-6-7 on Agenda item 1.2 Frequency arrangements/spectrum requirements in the band 694-790 MHz Various channelling arrangements are under consideration (for harmonisation) with: • Conventional FDD duplex arrangement (uplink below downlink), or downlink only; • IMT uplink transmissions starting around 694 MHz, 696 MHz, 701 MHz, 703 MHz and 718 MHz. Sharing parameters Provide the list of IMT technical parameters for use in sharing studies under Agenda item 1.2
