10. Back up slide, the other 5 ITU liaisons • Maybe not of interest to IEEE 802 • 18-17-0008-01,  “Technical and operational characteristics of digital land mobile radios for specific use”, ITU-R WP5A is developing a report on the technical and operational characteristics of digital private land mobile radios systems that provide capabilities (DPLMR). • 18-17-0009-00, “Operational requirements and technical characteristics of systems in the land mobile service excluding IMT in the frequency band 51.4-52.4 GHz and adjacent or nearby bands”, ITU-R WP5A is requesting data as there are currently no ITU-R Recommendations or Reports that include such characteristics for the frequency ranges of interest. • 18-17-0011-00, “Request for Information on Machine Type Communications (MTC) in the land mobile service”, ITU-R WP5A is requesting this data in response to a request from ITU-R WP5D (IMT) for information on these type of systems. • 18-17-0013-01, “Characteristics of terrestrial IMT systems for frequency sharing / interference analysis in the frequency range between 24.25 GHz and 86 GHz”, ITU-R WP5D (IMT) is requesting data on technology-related parameters related to technologies operating in that band. • 18-17-0014-00, “Candidate frequency ranges and related information for Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) impact studies”, ITU-R WP 1A is tasked with liaising technical and operational information to WP 1B so that WP 1B may develop impact studies. (Note: That in a WP1A meeting in 2016 IEEE Japan proposed using 2450 MHz for WPT. Since it is a license exempt band they may have not listed it in this document.) Jay Holcomb, Itron
