7. Overview Categories of Services & allocations • Primary and secondary services • Service the name of which are printed in “capitals” (example: FIXED) are called “Primary” Services • Service the name of which are printed in “normal characters” (example: Mobile) are called “secondary” Services • Additional remarks shall be printed in normal characters ( MOBILE except aeronautical mobile) • Stations of a secondary service: • Shall not cause harmful interference to stations of primary services to which frequencies are already assigned or may be assigned at a later date; • cannot claim protection for harmful interference from stations of a primary service to which frequencies are already assigned or may be assigned at a later date • can claim protection for harmful interference from stations of the same or other secondary service(s) to which frequencies may be assigned at later date.

14. Overview Frequency Assignment and Licensing Frequency arrangement options - Homogeneous, - Uniform, - Non-uniform

15. Frequency assignment & Licensing General procedure for the frequency assignment and licensing process Spectrum user License request Registration of the application in the administrative database and initialization of the workflow management Folder creation The request is not accepted for an ADM reason. Administrative study Folder processing. Transmission to administrative and technical studies EMC analysis The frequency is not available because it is protected by ITU agreement. Verification of international coordination requirements The folder is transmitted to coordination study and ITU sending. Notifications forms generation and registration in ITU database License and invoice sending. License and invoice emission The folder is transmitted for license issuing and invoice generation. The relevant documents are provided to the spectrum user. Frequency assignment The folder is closed and archived. The licensing process is over. Source: ITU-Handbook on SMS

17. Overview Coordination & Notification

18. SMS4DC Annex I : Action Plan (rev.2) for development of SMS4DC 1 Provisional test for items listed in Annex II & III. 2 Software developers would try to make the space segment ready for provisional acceptance test. Note: French version of SMS4DC will be ready before WTDC-06 and the other 4 languages if required by the end of 2006.

21. Deactivation Add Station Draw Polyline Show Legend Draw Line Calculation Overlay Go to Geo-directions Refresh Draw Line from Database Draw Box from Database Move Station Draw Profile Draw Box Toggle button to create rubber-band box for selection of a rectangular area on DEM to activate area dependent functions. Push button for deactivation of activated buttons. The shape of mouse is changed to normal by using this button. Push buttons for navigation of DEM one tile toward one of the West, North, South and East directions each time, respectively. Toggle button to draw line between two points and to activate functions based on predefined line. Toggle button for poly line drawing and activation of relevant functions based on predefined poly line. Push button for drawing a line between two stations and for activation of functions based on predefined line, using database of stations. Push button to refresh screen display and to remove overlaid area-calculation results from DEM. Push button for drawing a square box containing a station at its middle for activation of functions based on predefined area, using database of stations. . Push button to overlay area-calculation results on DEM. Once an area selected on map (using box drawing buttons) this button will be activated. Toggle button to move a station to a new location using mouse. Click mouse right button on the station and drag its symbol to the concerned location while holding mouse right click. Toggle button to add a station under one of the SMS4DC supported services. Push button for drawing of path profile along depicted line. Poly line drawing does not activate this button. Toggle button to show or remove legend of activated display. An appropriate legend is displayed depending to the activated display, i.e. DEM color legend for DEM view, field strength color legend for area calculation result window and etc. Toolbar of SMS4DC desktop

48. Antenna Tools • The SMS4DC is able to: • §       Import antenna pattern & its characteristic from antenna library; • §       Modify the existing antennas in the library for generation of new patterns; • §       Completely generate a new antenna pattern

49. Effective height of antenna calculation Effective height of an antenna can be calculated based on ITU-R Recommendations P.1546 or P.370. This parameter is needed for Field strength calculations in point to area services (i.e. Broadcasting, land-mobile…).
