IMT-2020 : Bands Above 6 GHz Towards WRC-19 Agenda Item 1.13 The studies and decisions by WRC-19 are limited to the bands above 24 GHz Already allocated to the Mobile Service in the Table of Allocations: 24.25-27.5 GHz, 37-40.5 GHz, 42.5-43.5 GHz, 45.5-47 GHz, 47.2-50.2 GHz, 50.4-52.6 GHz, 66-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz Would require a new allocation to the Mobile Service in the Table of Allocations: 24.25-27.5 GHz, 31.8-33.4 GHz, 40.5-42.5 GHz and 47- 47.2 GHz Not all of these bands and/or not complete bands might be identified for IMT by WRC-19 A new ITU group TG 5/1 has been established to study coexistence of IMT-2020 with existing services Availability of bands above 6 GHz offering wide channel sizes are critically important to IMT-2020 Even though not part of Agenda Item 1.13, some countries are proceeding with other bands US - 27.5-28.35 GHz, Korea - 26.5-29.5 GHz, Brazil, Sweden, etc.

Key Considerations : 5G Spectrum Peak Data Rates Latency Mobility Spectrum Efficiency Energy Efficiency User Density Network Capacity Reliability User Type

Study Frequency Ranges for 5G Higher and lower frequencies are both needed to meet all multiple 5G use cases Low frequencies Full area coverage allowing cost effective delivery of mobile services Bandwidths considerably wider (in the order of 100s of MHz) than those of today, providing a combination of capacity and coverage New bands below 6GHz should be made available for 5G High frequencies • Needed for applications requiring very high data rates • Will accommodate wider channel bandwidths (e.g. in the order of GHz per MNO) • Propagation characteristics may facilitate sharing with existing services

Key 5G Spectrum : Low Frequencies 600 MHz Band 3300 - 3700 MHz Band
