WRC-15 Outcomes • RESOLUTION COM6/22WRC-15 • invites ITU-R to conduct and complete the following in time for WRC-19: • to study WAS/RLAN technical characteristics and operational requirements in the 5 GHz frequency range; • to conduct studies with a view to identify potential WAS/RLAN mitigation techniques • to facilitate sharing with incumbent systems in the frequency bands 5 150-5 350 MHz, 5 350-5 470 MHz, 5 725-5 850 MHz and 5 850-5 925 MHz, while ensuring the protection of incumbent services including their current and planned use; • to perform sharing and compatibility studies between WAS/RLAN applications and incumbent services in the frequency band 5 150-5 350 MHz with the possibility of enabling outdoor WAS/RLAN operations including possible associated conditions; • to conduct further sharing and compatibility studies between WAS/RLAN applications and incumbent services addressing: • whether any additional mitigation techniques in the frequency band 5 350-5 470 MHz beyond those analysed in the studies referred to in recognizing a) would provide coexistence between WAS/RLAN systems and EESS (active) and SRS (active) systems; • whether any mitigation techniques in the frequency band 5 350-5 470 MHz would provide compatibility between WAS/RLAN systems and radio determination systems; • whether the results of studies under points i) and ii) would enable an allocation of the frequency band 5 350-5 470 MHz to the mobile service with a view to accommodating WAS/RLAN use;
WRC-15 Outcomes • to also conduct detailed sharing and compatibility studies, including mitigation techniques, between WAS/RLAN and incumbent services in the frequency band 5 725- 5 850 MHz with a view to enabling a mobile service allocation to accommodate WAS/RLAN use; • to also conduct detailed sharing and compatibility studies, including mitigation techniques, between WAS/RLAN and incumbent services in the frequency band 5 850-5 925 MHz with a view to accommodating WAS/RLAN use under the existing primary mobile service allocation while not imposing any additional constraints on the existing services, • invites administrations to participate in the studies by submitting contributions to ITU-R.
