Agenda item 1.17 Presenter: Neil Meaney
Agenda Item to consider results of sharing studies between the mobile service and other services in the band 790–862 MHz in Regions 1 and 3, in accordance with Resolution 749 (WRC‑07), to ensure the adequate protection of services to which this frequency band is allocated, and take appropriate action
Australian Position • Primarily a Region 1 issue • Use of the band 790-862 MHz is a national planning matter for Australia due to its geographic isolation • Australia is not a Contracting Member of the GE-06 Agreement and did not wish to be bound by provisions of that Agreement or similar agreements primarily due to the reasons cited in the first dot point above • Australia supported no change to the RRs except for revision to Res.749. • Consistent with APT Common Position
WRC Outcomes Extension of Region 1 Mobile Service Allocation from 790 MHz to 694 MHz • Unexpected WRC-12 outcome • Advocated by the Arab and African blocks • Europe and RCC initially not supportive • Complex/sensitive issues largely resolved ‘offline’ • Extension agreed with an effective from a date in 2015 • Arrangements at the lower edge of the mobile allocation being considered during the next study cycle • Agenda Item 1.2.
WRC Outcomes Inter-regional (Regions 1/3) Sharing – Rec [JTG5-6] • Number of inputs proposed the adoption of additional arrangements in new Rec [JTG5-6] between GE-06 and non-GE-06 countries in Region 1 and Region 3. • Advocated by the RCC • Deal reached and held that provided no substantive changes to Res. 224 were made no new Rec [JTG5-6] was required • Agreement held • No new Rec [JTG5-6]
WRC Outcomes Intra-Region 1 Sharing – Revisions to Resolution 749 • Major issue of debate was the effect of aggregate versus single entry interference from the mobile service into the broadcasting service • RCC and Iran wanted aggregation addressed, CEPT did not share the concerns • Delicate compromise was reached • Revised Res. 749 acknowledged cumulative effects and noted that studies under Res. 224 need to take into account the cumulative effect of interference. • Scope of Res. 749 recognised as applying to Region 1 and Iran only
WRC Outcomes Revisions to Footnotes 5.296, 5.312, 5.316A & B etc • Revisions to various existing Region 1footnotes considered • Aspects were the subject of considerable debate between Region 1 countries who where attempting (with varying degrees of succuss) to add their names to various footnotes. • Region 1 footnotes: • No outcomes with respect to these footnotes are of concern to Australia.
Outcomes and Follow Up • Australian objectives achieved • Good Region 3 coordination and cooperation (KOR) • No regulatory arrangements were put in place relevant to Australia therefore no specific follow-up action necessary • Initial ‘Follow debate’ position for AI 1.2
