SPECTRUM ALLOCATIONS
- All Spectrum Bands are already allocated
-
-
(Innal: RR, IFT; nal.: NAFT)
Effective Assignments, and intensive
exploitation of frequencies below 4 GHz
(Administrations)
Attending the needs for more Spectrum from
some services, is only possible by modifying
the current allocation of other ones
A “refarming” is necessary: where to migrate
an incumbent service to let the room to a new
comer?
How to avoid a “domino” effect?

SPECTRUM ALLOCATIONS
Responding to growing Capacity Demand (Mbps)
can be improved by:
-New technologies: better spectrum
efficiency (Mbps/MHz); e.g. TDT
-Increasing Radio Stations (lower coverage
(traffic)/Station); e.g. Femtocells
-Allocating more Spectrum
- Prevent Domino’s Effect:
- Compare and prioritize growing demands (and
social impact)
- Foster network updating (spectrum efficiency)

C Band
As in Satellite Sector
Dowlink:
Standard C Band: 3.700 to 4200 MHz
Extended C Band: 3400 to 3700
Uplink:
Standard C Band: 5.900 to 6.400 MHz
Extended C Band: 6.400 to 6.700 MHz

C Band on WRCs
WRC-07 Decision: No Change
WRC-15 Agenda Items
1.1 to consider additional spectrum allocations to the
mobile service on a primary basis and identification of
additional frequency bands for International Mobile
Telecommunications (IMT) and related regulatory
provisions, to facilitate the development of terrestrial
mobile broadband applications, in accordance with
Resolution 233 (WRC-12)
o) Report ITU-R M.2109, on sharing studies between
IMT-Advanced systems and geostationary-satellite
networks in the fixed-satellite service in the 3.4004.200 and 4 500-4 800 MHz frequency bands;
