WRC 2023 Agenda Item Details

Agenda Item: Agenda Item 1.13
Resolution(s): Resolution 661 (COM6/10) (WRC-19)
Description of work:

This agenda item is to consider a possible upgrade of the allocation of the frequency band 14.8 - 15.35 GHz to the space research service. The ITU-R is invited to:

  1. to investigate and identify all relevant scenarios that need to be considered in compatibility and sharing studies, taking into account the latest relevant ITU-R Recommendations
  2. to conduct and complete in time for WRC-23 sharing and compatibility studies in order to determine the feasibility of upgrading the SRS allocation to primary status in the frequency band 14.8 - 15.35 GHz with a view to ensuring protection of the primary service
  3. to determine the technical and regulatory conditions according to the results of studies

WRC-23 is invited to examine, on the basis of the results of studies by the ITU-R, the possibility of upgrading the secondary status of the allocation of the SRS to primary status in the frequency band 14.8 - 15.35 GHz taking into account studies
Comments: Resolution 661 (COM6/10) notes that there is a need for broadband communication downlinks to the SRS for the purpose of transmitting future scientific data at high data transmission speeds. Other services in these bands includes the fixed and mobile on a primary basis and the EESS(passive) on a secondary basis. In the adjacent 15.35 - 15.4 GHz band there are primary allocations to the EESS(passive), radio astronomy and SRS(passive)
Lead Working Party(s): WP 7B
Involved Working Parties: WP 3M, WP 5A, WP 5C, WP 7C, WP 7D
How Visualyse products can help: Visualyse Professional can model the SRS service and other services such as the fixed, mobile, EESS(passive) and radio astronomy services. A range of modelling methodologies can be used including static and dynamic including modelling of SRS satellite orbits. Propagation models are available for space to space, space to Earth and terrestrial paths and Visualyse Professional can model both co-frequency and non-co-frequency interference scenarios
How Transfinite consultants can help: We can undertake studies including analysis of sharing between the different services covered by this agenda item including SRS, fixed, mobile, broadcasting, EESS(passive) and radio astronomy services. We can help identify suitable system characteristics and sharing criteria, and provide contributions and representation at ITU-R Working Parties. Using our in house Visualyse Professional we can quickly model a very wide range of systems, services and scenarios.
