Review of ITU-R Study Group Activities Kevin A. Hughes Radiocommunication Bureau
2
ITU-R objective “…to ensure rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the spectrum by all services, …… …to carry out studies and adopt Recommendations on radiocommunication matters”
3
ITU-R objective Objective achieved through (inter alia): World (and Regional) Radiocommunication Conferences Approval of Recommendations Technical studies are required which are conducted in Study Groups
4
ITU-R Study Groups Groups of experts from ITU membership Draft technical bases for WRCs (and RRCs) Draft Recommendations technical characteristics operational procedures Compile Handbooks
5
Study Groups SG 1:Spectrum management SG 3:Radiowave propagation SG 4:Fixed-satellite service SG 6:Broadcasting service SG 7:Science services SG 8:Mobile services SG 9:Fixed service
6
ITU-R Study Groups Currently 7 Study Groups Subordinate groups Working Party Task Group Rapporteur Group Joint ……. Coordination Committee for Vocabulary Special Committee (regulatory/procedural) CPM - Conference Preparatory Meeting
7
Scope of Study Group 1 (Spectrum management) Principles and techniques for spectrum management sharing criteria and methods spectrum monitoring long-term strategies for spectrum utilization Inter-service sharing and compatibility
8
SG 1 - some key areas of study - Unwanted emissions out-of-band (OOB) and spurious emission domains protection of safety and passive services Spectrum management methodologies long-term planning for national SM economic approaches Handbooks Spectrum monitoring National spectrum management
9
Scope of Study Group 3 (Radiowave propagation) Propagation of radiowaves in ionized and non-ionized media and the characteristics of radio noise, for the purpose of improving radiocommunication systems
10
SG 3 - some key areas of study - Global mapping of radiometeorological parameters rain intensity, water vapour density refractivity Prediction procedures interference and coordination Earth-satellite paths short-range communications (personal, LANs) terrestrial broadcasting and mobile services
11
Scope of Study Group 4 (Fixed-satellite service) Systems and networks for the FSS and inter-satellite links (in the FSS), including associated tracking, telemetry and telecommand functions
12
SG 4 - some key areas of study - Sharing between non-GSO FSS systems and other FSS networks mitigation techniques for sharing between non-GSO/FSS systems and other networks using the GSO non-GSO FSS systems IP over satellite WRC-03 issues e.g. protection of MSS feeder links at 5 GHz
13
Scope of Study Group 6 (Broadcasting service) Radiocommunication broadcasting (terrestrial and satellite) of vision, sound, multimedia and data services primarily intended for delivery to the general public
14
SG 6 - some key areas of study - Digital sound broadcasting below 30 MHz system specification (Rec. BS.1514-1) planning parameters (DNR) Studies relating to revised b’cast satellite plans (Appendices 30 and 30A) sharing criteria between BSS, FSS and terrestrial services Guidelines for system options for digital terrestrial TV b’casting
15
SG 6 - some key areas of study (continued) - Coverage prediction methods and evaluation of DTTB systems Protection of b’cast systems against radiation by wired systems, ISM equipment and short-range devices
16
Scope of Study Group 7 (Science services) Systems for space operation, space research, Earth exploration and meteorology Radio astronomy Standard frequency and time signals
17
SG 7 - some key areas of study - Allocations for space science services space operations and space research services precipitation radars (~ 35 GHz) Earth exploration satellite service (420-470 MHz) Radio astronomy protection criteria
18
Scope of Study Group 8 (Mobile services) Systems and networks for the mobile, radiodetermination and amateur services, including related satellite services
19
SG 8 - some key areas of study - IMT-2000 update radio interface specs. global spectrum harmonization systems beyond IMT-2000 PPDR (Public Protection and Disaster Relief) identification of spectrum Draft New Report on objectives and requirements for PPDR
20
SG 8 - some key areas of study (continued) - ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) standards for Vehicle Information and Communication Systems (VICS) evolution of Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) systems RLANs (Nomadic Wireless Access) broadband NWA (frequency spectrum and standards harmonization)
21
Scope of Study Group 9 (Fixed service) Systems and networks of the fixed service operating via terrestrial stations
22
SG 9 - some key areas of study - High altitude platform stations (HAPS) additional allocations in range 18-32 GHz technical and operational characteristics impact on other services interference mitigation techniques Frequency bands for High Density systems in FSS above about 19 GHz Handbooks Frequency adaptive systems at MF/HF Fixed Wireless Access
23
