6. WRC-19 agenda item 1.13
to consider identification of frequency bands for the future development of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), including possible additional allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis, in accordance with:
Resolution 238 (WRC‑15) …
to conduct and complete in time for WRC‑19 the appropriate sharing and compatibility studies, taking into account the protection of services to which the band is allocated on a primary basis, for the frequency bands:
 GHz,  GHz,  GHz,  GHz,  GHz,  GHz, 66-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz, which have allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis; and
 GHz,  GHz and  GHz, which may require additional allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis.

7. Another relevant agenda item: WRC-19 agenda item 1.16
to consider issues related to wireless access systems, including radio local area networks (WAS/RLAN), in the frequency bands between MHz and MHz, and take the appropriate regulatory actions, including additional spectrum allocations to the mobile service, in accordance with:
Resolution 239 (WRC‑15) “Studies concerning Wireless Access Systems including radio local area networks in the frequency bands between MHz and MHz”

8. Resolution 239 (WRC-15) – resolves …
a) to study WAS/RLAN technical characteristics and operational requirements in the 5 GHz frequency range;
b) to conduct studies with a view to identify potential WAS/RLAN mitigation techniques to facilitate sharing with incumbent systems in the frequency bands – MHz, – MHz, – MHz and – MHz, while ensuring the protection of incumbent services including their current – and planned use;
c) to perform sharing and compatibility studies between WAS/RLAN applications and incumbent services in the frequency band – MHz with the possibility of enabling outdoor WAS/RLAN operations including possible associated conditions;
d) to conduct further sharing and compatibility studies between WAS/RLAN applications and incumbent services addressing:
i) whether any additional mitigation techniques in the frequency band – MHz beyond those analyzed in the studies referred to in recognizing a) would provide coexistence between WAS/RLAN systems and EESS (active) and SRS (active) systems;
ii) whether any mitigation techniques in the frequency band – MHz would provide compatibility between WAS/RLAN systems and radio determination systems;
iii) whether the results of studies under points i) and ii) would enable an allocation of the frequency band – MHz to the mobile service with a view to accommodating WAS/RLAN use;
e) to also conduct detailed sharing and compatibility studies, including mitigation techniques, between WAS/RLAN and incumbent services in the frequency band – MHz with a view to enabling a mobile service allocation to accommodate WAS/RLAN use;
f) to also conduct detailed sharing and compatibility studies, including mitigation techniques, between WAS/RLAN and incumbent services in the frequency band – MHz with a view to accommodating WAS/RLAN use under the existing primary mobile service allocation while not imposing any additional constraints on the existing services,

13. Draft new Report ITU-R M.[IMT-2020.SUBMISSION]
Requirements, evaluation criteria and submission templates for the development of IMT-2020.
This ITU-R Report will address the requirements, evaluation criteria, as well as submission templates required for a complete submission of candidate radio interface technologies (RITs) and candidate sets of radio interface technologies (SRITs) for IMT-2020.
Planned completion: WP 5D Meeting No. 27 (June 2017).

14. Draft new Report ITU-R M.[IMT-2020.EVAL]
Guidelines for evaluation of radio interface technologies for IMT-2020.
This Report is to provide guidelines for both the procedure and the criteria (technical, spectrum and service) to be used in evaluating the proposed IMT-2020 radio interface technologies (RITs) or Sets of RITs (SRITs) for a number of test environments and deployment scenarios for evaluation.
The test environments are chosen to simulate closely the more stringent radio operating environments. The evaluation procedure is designed in such a way that the overall performance of the candidate RIT/SRITs may be fairly and equally assessed on a technical basis. It ensures that the overall IMT 2020 objectives are met.
Planned completion: WP 5D Meeting: Meeting No. 27 (June 2017).
