Agenda item 1.13 – BSS and feeder links 21.4–22 GHz Presenter: Geoff McMillen
Background to consider the results of ITU‑R studies in accordance with Resolution 551 (WRC‑07) and decide on the spectrum usage of the 21.4–22 GHz band for the broadcasting-satellite service and the associated feeder-link bands in Regions 1 and 3
Australian positions Issue A (Intra-service issues) – Method A. Issue B (Feeder-link capacity) – Option a) No change to the Radio Regulations. Issue C (Inter-service issues) Australia would not support an outcome at WRC-12 that places undue constraints on existing services in Australia and other geographically remote administrations.
Australian opposition positions the development of a priori planning arrangements in the band, the consideration of changes or strengthening of RR Article 23.13 under this Agenda item, proposals on queue prioritisation, and reduced BR filing procedures, or priority, for administrations with no BSS systems in the band.
Outcomes relevant to Australia Issue A: No ‘a priori’ but preferential treatments in filing queue Issue B: FSS feeder allocation; antennas >4.5 metres Issue C: BSS and terrestrial equal regulatory status; coexistence through hard pfd limits
Outcome regulatory provisions 21.4-22 GHz BSS Article 5 additional footnotes 5.B113, 5.C113, 5.D113 Resolution COM5/4, COM5/7, COM5/8, COM5/9 24.65-24.75 GHz Region 3 FSS feeders Article 5 additional footnote 5.A113
Conclusion While outcome is not in accordance with Australia’s objectives they are acceptable considering Australia’s geographical isolation and their application being limited to the band 21.4-22 GHz.
Follow up action Assess whether to implement the provisions of expected ITU circular letters. Be vigilant for attempts to apply the Issue A outcomes to other frequency bands at future conferences.
