4. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Tasks: Produce a report of FWA sharing with other services in band C. Produce draft UK contributions (to be processed through the normal RA committee’s) for potential CEPT sharing studies Develop a strategy on how to promote the findings of the sharing study. Identify bottlenecks and propose resolutions concerning the finalisation of DFS parameters / values / implementation etc...

5. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Priorities Sharing (Incumbent Users) Radar FSS RTTT ENG/OB

6. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Sharing with Radar Similar situation to band B DFS -67dBm for devices greater than 1 W could change... Sharing is possible MOD have asked for exclusion zones around operational sites (less than 10).

7. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Sharing with FSS Need to limit the numbers of FWA or the EIRP towards the satellite So far sharing seems feasible for a 2W EIRP + TPC FWA transmitter We are expecting more sharing work for higher power systems EIRP spectral density mask to be defined TPC at least 12dB dynamic range

8. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Sharing with RTTT Need to protect the Road Side Unit more work is required Very low threshold detection required and will need to be looked at TPC Notch out the RTTT band (20MHz) simple solution

9. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Sharing with ENG/OB there is a need to protect some receiving sites. Do we need to protect all 3 channels at each site. Is DFS useful for protecting P-P FDD systems effect of TPC on results

10. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Sharing with SRDs more work is required taking into account indoor only SRD use effect of TPC SRD parameters taken from UK IR 2030-EN 300 440

11. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Impact on UK VNS DFS needed TPC required EIRP spectral density mask required to protect satellites (final mask still under debate) Exclusion zones needed for MOD/ENG OB channel plan? MAX E.I.R.P. or PSD?

12. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Next... Draft report to be completed shortly which will give initial results. more sharing work expected on whether Higher power with more directional antenna possible alternative EIRP spectral density mask ENG/OB and RTTT SRD’s Need to provide recommendations into UK Voluntary National Specification Need to provide results and analysis to UK preparation for SE 38

13. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA UK Preparation for SE38 Written by Steve Bond RA1 / International Policy Unit Radiocommunications Agency

14. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Chairman: Tony Buckley, Ireland Any output document of SE38 will not be issued outside WGSE until after July 2003 Terms of reference for SE38 Compatibility studies between the licence exempt Fixed Wireless Access (HIPERMAN) system and other radio services

15. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Under WGSE, SE38 shall carryout compatibility studies in the band 5725-5875MHz between the Fixed Wireless Access systems (as described by the SRDoc provided by ETSI TR10279) and other services such as: The Radiolocation Service RTTT Fixed Service (Point to Point Links) Fixed Satellite Service General SRD’s introduced within Recommendation 70-03 Amateur service and amateur satellite service

16. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA UK preparation for SE38 A UK briefing group is to be created, chaired by Steve Bond, who will lead the UK delegation in SE38 UK SE38 is open to participation from UK registered companies with a substantial UK presence SE 38 participation is open to any ETSI members (observers only)

17. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA UK SE38 duties Preparation of UK contributions to SE38. It is expected that this will mostly consist of the sharing studies on which UK policy has been based Preparing a UK view for SE38 meetings, taking account of other relevant UK groups Reports to UK WG SE, including proposing the UK line to be taken in WG SE on SE38 issues

18. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Work of UK SE38 The first meeting of UK SE38 will be shortly before the first SE38 meeting Subsequent work will be conducted by correspondence, as far as is possible For more information please contact: Steve Bond, stephenbond1@compuserve.com

19. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA 5GHz Band C – next steps

20. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA In order to obtain final clearance to use band C for FWA in the UK sharing analysis needs to be completed on existing services. There will be conditions.

21. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Conditions for FWA use of Band C MoD approval essential Concerns over Road Transport and Traffic Telematics to be addressed Continued access to useful spectrum for ENG-OB to be addressed FWA/FSS sharing issues addressed, Introduction of light Licensing regime essential in the beginning.

22. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA MoD Approval Exclusion zones around MoD installations Maximum EIRP of 2 Watts Mandatory use of DFS and TPC Access to spectrum is regulated by means of a licensing scheme

23. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Other services Studies so far indicate that some of the technical measures proposed will satisfy the most requirements of RTTT, FSS and ENG-OB users of the band. But there may be some operational restrictions on all the services involved needed.

24. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA E-licensing Looking to open this band for Fixed services on a light licensing basis Working towards a fully electronic interface with as near immediate approval as possible Interface will be simple and will allow batch processing May have instructions on how to licence systems as mandatory in equipment.

25. doc.: IEEE 802.18-03/016r0 Submission March 2003 Andy Gowans - UK RA Obtain final approval for FWA in this band Complete UK VNS and send to European Commission for 3 month standstill process Complete the e-licensing interface Hold final 28 day consultation on the whole package Open band C for Fixed Services Next steps
