Agenda Item Description
Agenda Item 1.1

This agenda item relates to consideration of conditions for which the band 4 800 - 4 825 and 4835 - 4 950 MHz could be used by terrestrial component of IMT, in accordance with Resolution 223 (WRC-19). In particular, it addresses technical and regulatory conditions, such as power flux density (pfd) limits, which could protect aeronautical and maritime mobile services.

Subject to review by WRC-23 these conditions are:

  1. in the frequency band 4 800 - 4 825 MHz and 4 835 - 4 950 MHz the coordination distance in relation to aircraft stations is 300 km (land paths) or 450 km (sea paths)
  2. in the frequency band 4 800 - 4 990 MHz the coordination distance in relation to fixed-service stations or other ground-based stations of the mobile service is 70 km
  3. a PFD threshold in No. 5.441B which does not apply to the countries listed in Resolves 5 of the Resolution
Agenda Item 9.1 Topic A

This agenda item is to review the results of studies relating to the technical and operational characteristics, spectrum requirements and appropriate radio service designations for space weather sensors with a view to describing appropriate recognition and protection in the Radio Regulations without placing additional constraints on existing services.

The ITU-R is invited to:

  1. to identify, in time for WRC-23, and based upon existing and possible further ITU-R studies on the technical and operational characteristics, specific space weather sensors which need to be protected by appropriate regulation. This includes determining if receive-only space weather sensors shall be designated as applications of the Metaids services, to determine the appropriate radiocommunication service, if any, for cases where it is determined that receive-only space weather sensors do not fall under the Metaids service
  2. to conduct, in time for WRC-23, any necessary sharing studies with incumbent systems operating in frequency bands used by space weather sensors with the objective of determine potential regulatory provisions that can be provided to receive-only operational space weather sensors for their appropriate recognition in the Radio Regulations, while not placing additional constraints on incumbent services
  3. to develop potential solutions to describe in the Radio Regulations in Articles 1 and 4 and/or as a WRC resolution, if deemed appropriate, for consideration by WRC-23, space weather sensor systems and their corresponding usage, as well as protection requirements for receive-only space weather sensors
  4. to conduct studies, in time for WRC-23, on the technical and operational characteristics of active space weather sensors and conduct necessary sharing studies with incumbent systems operating in frequency bands used by active space weather sensors, with the objective of determining the appropriate radiocommunication service for those sensors

The Director of the BR is instructed to report on the results of the ITU-R studies to WRC-23
Agenda Item 9.1 Topic C

This agenda item is to study the use of International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) system for fixed wireless broadband in the frequency bands allocated to the fixed services on primary basis.

The ITU-R is invited to conduct any necessary studies on the use of IMT systems for fixed wireless broadband in the frequency bands allocated to the fixed service on primary basis, taking into account the relevant ITU-R studies, Handbooks, Recommendations and Reports

The Director of the BR is instructed to report on the results of the ITU-R studies to WRC-23
