September 2015 Background WRC-15 will be held in November 2015 to amend the Radio Regulations in accordance with the study results of each WRC-15 agenda items. No WRC-15 agenda item related to RR No. 5.565. ITU-R WP1A has been studying technical and operational characteristics of active services since June 2012. ITU-R WP5A and WP5C has just started technical and operational characteristics of each service since July 2015. APT Conference Preparatory Group for WRC-15 (APG-15) discussed WRC-19 new agenda items and adopted Preliminary APT Common Proposal (PACP) regarding identification of land mobile and fixed services in the frequency rage 275-1000 GHz. This PACP is now circulated in the APT member countries for final approval. Akifumi Kasamatsu, NICT

September 2015 PACP above 275 GHz (1) Title of draft new Resolution: Appropriate regulatory measures for the land mobile and fixed services operating in the frequency range 275-1 000 GHz. considering and noting parts of draft new Resolution are not shown here. resolves to invite WRC-19; to consider the appropriate regulatory measures to identify the land mobile and fixed services operating in the frequency range 275-1 000 GHz, taking into account the results of ITU-R studies. Akifumi Kasamatsu, NICT

PACP above 275 GHz (2) resolves to invites ITU-R; September 2015 PACP above 275 GHz (2) resolves to invites ITU-R; to identify potential characteristics of systems in the land mobile and fixed services operating in the frequency range 275-1 000 GHz; to study spectrum requirements of the land mobile and fixed services, taking into account technical and operational characteristics of those services operating in the frequency range 275-1 000 GHz; to conduct sharing and compatibility studies between passive and the land mobile and fixed services, as well as among active services, operating in the frequency range 275-1 000 GHz; to study potential candidate frequency bands for use of the land mobile and fixed services, taking into account the results of the studies under invite ITU-R 1, 2 and 3 and the protection of passive services identified in RR No.5.565. Akifumi Kasamatsu, NICT

September 2015 Plan to WRC-15 and CPM19-1 If PACP is approved by APT member countries as ACP (APT Common Proposal), ACP will be sent to ARC-15. In order to be approved as WRC-19 new agenda item during WRC-15, agreement between six regions* is strongly recommended. ITU-R WP5A and WP5C will study potential candidate frequency bands for use of the land mobile and fixed services at WRC-19 to amend the Radio Regulations above 275 GHz.
