  ------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------

7 in accordance with Article 7 of the Convention:

7.2 to recommend to the Council items for inclusion in the agenda for
the next WRC, and to give its views on the preliminary agenda for the
subsequent conference and on possible agenda items for future
conferences, taking into account Resolution **803** **(WRC‑03)**

Introduction

Agenda item 7.2 requests WRC-07 to recommend to the Council items for
inclusion in the agenda for the WRC-11, and to give its view on the
preliminary agenda for the subsequent conference and on possible agenda
items for future conferences, taking into account Resolution 803
(WRC-03).

APT Members carefully examined the proposed new items for inclusion in
the agenda of a future conference together with the preliminary agenda
items for WRC-11 within Resolution 803 (WRC‑03) and reached the
following views and proposals on WRC-07 Agenda item 7.2.

ASP/41A28/381

**APT Common View**: APT Members support those agenda items that have a
high priority and which would have a reasonable chance of being
agreed/resolved at WRC-11; do not support lower priority items that will
expand the list of studies to the point where essential issues will not
get adequate time for consideration; promote aggregation of similar
issues within one agenda item; and promote the restriction of future
studies to a manageable list of essential items.

# Part 1 -- Proposed new items for inclusion in the agenda of WRC-11

APT proposes that WRC-07 suppresses Resolution 803 (WRC-03) and adopts a
new Resolution as the basis for the provisional agenda for WRC-11 for
adoption by the Council.

RESOLUTION 951 (Rev.WRC-07)

Improving the international spectrum\
regulatory framework

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2007),

considering

*a)* that spectrum is a finite resource and there is a continued
increase in demand for radiocommunications;

*b)* that the current technological environment is substantively
different from the one when the current allocation principles were
established;

*c)* that there is an increasing number and diversity of applications
that need to be accommodated in the radio spectrum;

*d)* that while, in general terms, the current regulatory framework does
not provide for inter-operability of stations belonging to different
radiocommunication services, technological developments are
increasingly resulting in applications that encompass
operational aspects from more than one service, which leads
to increasing requirements for inter-operability between stations in
different services;

*e)* that technological developments have also resulted in convergence
where mobility and content are less relevant to differentiate between
services;

*f*) that past WRCs were able to respond to the developments mentioned
under *considering b)* to *e)* in certain cases notably by adopting
case-by-case solutions,

considering further

*a)* that there is a keen interest in the rational, efficient and
economic use of spectrum;

*b)* that allocations to radiocommunication services should aim to reach
the best outcome in terms of spectrum efficiency;

*c)* that applications are emerging in which elements of different
radiocommunication services (as defined in the Radio Regulations) are
combined;

*d)* that there is a convergence of radio technologies, inasmuch as the
same radio technology can be used in systems that operate in different
radiocommunication services or with different allocation status (primary
or secondary), that might have an impact on the allocation scenario;

*e)* that similar data rates and quality of service attributes are
available with different radiocommunication systems operating in
different radiocommunication services;

*f)* that the use of modern underlying communication architectures and
protocols, such as those used in packet radio systems, enables the
concurrent provision of different applications from the same platform
operating in the same frequency bands;

*g)* that evolving and emerging radiocommunication technologies may
enable new sharing possibilities;

*h)* that these or other evolving and emerging technologies may lead to
more frequency-agile and interference-tolerant equipment and
consequently to more flexible use of spectrum;

*i)* that some administrations are considering a flexible framework with
the aim of more efficient utilization of the spectrum on a national
basis, recognizing

*a)* that the rights of administrations to deploy, operate and protect
services should be the guiding principle and that the regulatory
procedures should therefore be appropriately re-designed so as to meet
the demands of administrations;

*b)* that the current method of spectrum management includes the
examination by the BR of notices submitted by administrations in
accordance with data elements agreed to at WRCs and described in
Appendix **4** of the Radio Regulations;

*c)* that administrations use forms of notices developed by the BR for
the submission of information as required by Appendix **4** of the Radio
Regulations,

noting

*a)* that the cycle of WRCs has been extended to 4 years by PP-06 which
leads to longer periods for amending the Radio Regulations;

*b)* that the studies initiated under Resolution **951 (WRC-03)** have
shown a need for additional studies, enabling action to be taken at
future competent conferences,

resolves

1 that, as a matter of urgency, studies are to be continued by ITU-R on
the ability of the Radio Regulations:

-- to reflect existing systems and technologies, and

-- to evolve to meet the demands of emerging and future applications,

with a view to developing concepts and procedures to improve the Radio
Regulations for consideration at WRC-11, taking into account the
implementation process specified in the Annex;

2 to consider, if already possible at WRC-11, and otherwise at
subsequent conferences the implementation of these concepts and
procedures in suitable frequency bands, including modifications to the
allocation scenario, provided that positive results of thorough
assessment of the impact on allocation and sharing situations are
available, so as to enable the most efficient management and use of
spectrum;

3 to consider improved formats for the forms of notice associated with
Appendix **4**, and related adjustments to Appendix **4** itself,
necessary to adapt to changes in the notification process that may be
identified as a result of the present studies,

instructs the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau

to provide the necessary support and advice in relation to these
studies,

invites administrations

to participate actively in the studies by submitting contributions to
ITU‑R.

ANNEX 1 to Resolution 951 (Rev.wrc-07)

Implementation process for improvements to the international\
regulatory framework

In order to guard against unintended consequences or unforeseen
circumstances the implementation of novel spectrum management techniques
to improve the international spectrum regulatory framework may be
conditioned as a three phase process:

1 The ***exploration phase***, whereby various concepts and
methodologies will be evaluated by ITU-R as to their function and
utility as improved spectrum management techniques.

2 The ***feasibility phase***,

> *a)* whereby criteria will be developed by ITU-R from the various
> candidate techniques for use in selecting the bands considered to be
> well suited to the implementation of the candidate techniques,
>
> *b)* whereby a band by band analysis is carried out to assess the
> practical implications of implementing the new techniques.

3 The ***implementation phase***, whereby, if already possible, WRC-11,
and otherwise subsequent conferences, as determined to be appropriate
and taking due account of urgency and transition considerations, may
take action to implement the resulting new techniques and associated
allocation strategies in the identified candidate bands. Where
appropriate, changes could be introduced in a timely manner by defining
WRC Resolutions to implement new techniques in the relevant bands on an
interim basis, pending a decision at a subsequent conference to confirm
the interim regulatory regime and revise the Radio Regulations
accordingly.

Resolution \[ASP/AI7.2/4-XX3\] (WRC-07)

Spectrum harmonization for use by terrestrial electronic news
gathering,\
electronic field production, TV outside broadcast

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2007),

considering

*a)* that the use of portable and nomadic radio equipment by services
ancillary to broadcasting, commonly described as electronic news
gathering (ENG[^1]), operating terrestrially in appropriate fixed and
mobile service bands is now an important element in the comprehensive
coverage of noteworthy public events in administrations;

*b)* that WRC-03 established Recommendation **723** **(WRC-03)** to
continue the study, as a matter of urgency, the technical, operational
and frequency issues of spectrum usage and operational characteristics
of portable and nomadic links for terrestrial electronic news gathering
systems (ENG links) on a global basis;

*c)* that television broadcasting has emerged as the primary delivery
method of news to the general public, within all countries and globally,
and public interest is served by live news coverage of breaking events,
both developmental and potential disasters affecting public safety;

*d)* that the growth in the use of the frequency bands between 500 MHz
and 10 GHz for mobile, satellite and other radiocommunication
applications has significantly reduced the flexibility of some
administrations in providing adequate and appropriate spectrum to meet
the increasing demand for ENG;

*e)* that, based on studies, ITU-R considers it of great importance that
WRC-07 approve a Resolution to establish whether, and to what extent,
worldwide harmonization of spectrum usage and user requirements for ENG
links may be achievable in terms of the frequency bands used for such
applications, including the identification of specific band(s);

*f)* that there are serious concerns regarding the unregulated use of
indoor, mobile, and hand-held systems that cause interference to the ENG
services in support of broadcast systems;

*g)* that modularization and miniaturization of terrestrial ENG systems
has increased the portability for these systems to be transported from
one country to another;

*h)* that ITU-R has established recommendations that identify system
characteristics of television outside broadcast (TVOB), ENG and
electronic field production (EFP) in the fixed service for use in
sharing studies,

noting

*a)* that recommendations within ITU-R identify frequency tuning ranges
for analogue and digital TVOB, ENG and EFP for use in sharing studies;

*b)* that studies undertaken by ITU-R indicate that spectrum planning in
many countries could benefit from harmonized band planning, thereby
enhancing the viability of spectrum usage by ENG systems;

*c)* that the studies in ITU-R are based on data collected from many
administrations in all Regions on spectrum usage and user requirements
for links used in ENG;

*d)* that these data obtained from many administrations identify a
multitude of frequency ranges for various applications of sound,
television and internet broadcasting;

*e)* that harmonized band planning by administrations would enhance the
viability of staging the electronic news gathering, TV outside
broadcasting and electronic field production events at varied locations
on a worldwide basis;

*f)* that spectrum bands already identified for these services have a
number of inherent technical attributes making them more suitable for
ENG operations;

*g)* that lower radio-frequency spectrum bands tend to provide better
propagation characteristics over obstructed paths, thereby increasing
the probability of a successful transmission of sound, television and
internet broadcasting content operating from any particular venue;

*h)* that broadcasters are now considering a change in transmission
bandwidths within the radio-frequency spectrum bands assigned to ENG
associated with the eventual migration from analogue to digital
modulation schemes;

*i)* that many ITU administrations have made spectrum allocations for
analogue and digital ENG within their national regulatory frameworks;

recognizing

*a)* that television audiences have increased considerably since the
current radio-frequency spectrum allocations to ENG were identified and
there is a continuing increase in demand for the quantity and quality of
coverage of electronic news gathering, TV outside broadcasting and
electronic field production events;

*b)* that broadcasters now embrace technologies, not even anticipated
when spectrum-usage regulations were created, for both static and
dynamic usage;

*c)* that dynamic uses tend to be driven by both the scheduled events
and by the unpredictable events -- breaking news, emergencies and
disasters;

*d)* that the very nature of news gathering and electronic production in
a competitive environment implies a high probability that several
television broadcasters/organizations/networks will be attempting to
cover the same situation, requiring several channels to operate
simultaneously over virtually the same path;

*e)* that spectrum needs are required to take account of technology
applied to an application in one country and the possibility equipment
used in that application may be brought by overseas bodies into another
country,

resolves

1 that WRC-11 should address the feasibility of, and the extent thereof,
for worldwide/regional harmonization of spectrum usage for ENG in terms
of the frequency bands and tuning ranges used for such applications,
including the identification of preferred specific band(s);

2 that ITU-R take up studies on the feasibility of spectrum
harmonization in preparation for WRC-11;

3 that ITU-R to continue updating its Reports and Recommendations on
operational characteristics and frequency requirements of the ENG for
sound, television and internet broadcasting and provide the results to
WRC-11,

invites administrations

to participate in ITU-R studies by providing contributions.

Spectrum usage of the band 21.4-22 GHz for BSS and\
associated feeder-link bands in Regions 1 and 3

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2007),

considering

*a)* that WARC-92 allocated the band 21.4-22.0 GHz in Regions 1 and 3 to
the broadcasting-satellite service and the allocation came into effect
on 1 April 2007;

*b)* that after 1 April 2007 the introduction of BSS (HDTV) systems in
this band should be regulated in a flexible and equitable manner until
such time as a future competent world radiocommunication conference has
adopted definitive provisions for this purpose in accordance with
Resolution **507 (Rev.WRC-03)**;

*c)* that the interim use of this band by the broadcasting-satellite
service is subject to the provisions of Resolution **525 (Rev.WRC-03)**;

*d)* that future BSS systems in the band 21.4-22.0 GHz may provide
extremely high resolution imagery (EHRI) applications as shown in
Recommendation ITU-R BT.1201 and Report ITU-R BT.2042;

*e)* that, based on its studies, ITU-R has established basic operating
parameters of BSS systems in this band, including methods of overcoming
attenuation in countries with higher rainfall (Recommendation ITU-R
BO.1659 and Report ITU-R BO.2071);

*f)* that in the band 21.4-22.0 GHz in Regions 1 and 3, reference power
flux-density for the BSS have been developed and given in Recommendation
ITU-R BO.1776;

*g)* that in the band 21.4-22.0 GHz in Regions 1 and 3, intra-service
sharing criteria for GSO BSS systems have been developed and given in
Recommendation ITU-R BO.1785;

*h)* that *a priori* planning is not necessary and should be avoided as
it freezes access according to technological assumptions at the time of
planning and then prevents flexible use taking account of real
world demand and technical developments;

*i)* that if spectrum usage of the bands is not determined, there would
be concerns regarding the use of the bands on a first-come-first-served
basis;

*j)* that further study is needed for the spectrum usage of the band
21.4-22.0 GHz in Regions 1 and 3,

that Resolution **525 (Rev.WRC-03**) identifies interim procedures for
introduction of HDTV BSS systems in the band 21.4-22 GHz in Regions 1
and 3,

resolves

1 that ITU-R continues studies on harmonization of spectrum usage
(planning methodologies, coordination procedures or other procedures)
and BSS technologies in preparation for WRC-11 in the 21.4-22 GHz band
and the associated feeder link bands in Regions 1 and 3;

2 that WRC-11 review the results of the study and decide the spectrum
usage of the 21.4-22 GHz band and the associated feeder link bands in

RESOLUTION 734 (Rev.WRC-07)

Feasibility of use of high altitude platform stations in the fixed and
mobile services in the frequency bands above 3 GHz

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2007),

considering

*a)* that ITU has among its purposes "to promote the extension of the
benefit of the new telecommunication technologies to all the world's
inhabitants" (No. 6 of the Constitution);

*b)* that systems based on new technologies using high altitude platform
stations (HAPS) can potentially be used for various applications such as
the provision of high-capacity services to urban and rural areas; *c)*
that provision has been made in the Radio Regulations for the deployment
of HAPS in specific bands including as base stations to serve IMT-2000
networks (Article **11**); *cbis)* that it is desirable to have adequate
provision for gateway links to serve HAPS operations;

*cduo)* that ITU-R has studied spectrum sharing between HAPS as a fixed
service with other fixed services and with fixed-satellite services in
much higher bands as well as the regulatory considerations to avoid
interference to services in neighbouring countries,

recognizing

*a)* that ITU-R has studied the sharing of HAPS with fixed services in
part of the 6 GHz band resulting in Recommendation ITU-R F.1764 which
provides a methodology for interference evaluation that could be used
for sharing studies between fixed services systems and HAPS;

*b)* that as in some areas the bands may be saturated with other fixed
service use and it would be desirable to have greater flexibility in the
choice of spectrum for gateway operations in support of HAPS networks;

*c)* that the World Summit on the Information Society has encouraged the
development and application of emerging technologies to facilitate
infrastructure and network development worldwide with special focus on
underserved regions and areas,

resolves

a*)* to invite ITU-R to extend the studies with a view to identifying
the provision for gateway links for HAPS in FS and FSS bands;*b)* to
recommend to a future competent WRC-11 to review the feasibility of
facilitating the implementation of systems using HAPS in the fixed and
mobile services in bands above 3 GHz allocated exclusively by the Table
of Frequency Allocations or by footnotes for terrestrial
radiocommunication, taking into consideration studies already carried
out, extended studies with a view to taking an appropriate decision for
the deployment of HAPS gateway links to service the relevant
stratospheric base station operations and support for these networks,

invites ITU‑R

encourages administrations

to contribute actively to the sharing studies in accordance with this
Resolution.

Resolution \[ASP/AI7.2/6-XX5\] (WRC-07)

Methods to ensure long-term spectrum availability and priority for the
aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service (AMS(R)S) in the\
bands 1 545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2007),

considering

*a)* that the aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service (AMS(R)S) in the
bands 1 545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz is an essential element
for ICAO CNS/ATM to provide safety in the civil air transportation;

*b)* that prior to WRC-97, the bands 1 545-1 555 MHz (space-to-Earth)
and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz (Earth-to-space) were allocated on an exclusive
basis to the aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service (AMS(R)S) in most
countries;

*c)* that WRC-97 allocated the bands 1 525-1 559 MHz (space-to-Earth)
and 1 626.5-1 660.5 MHz (Earth-to-space) to the mobile-satellite service
(MSS) to facilitate the assignment of spectrum to multiple MSS systems
in a flexible and efficient manner;

*d)* that WRC-97 adopted No. **5.357A** giving priority to accommodating
spectrum requirements for and protecting from unacceptable interference
the AMS(R)S providing transmission of messages with priority categories
1 to 6 in Article **44** in the bands 1 545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1
656.5 MHz, as well as No. **5.337A** for the GMDSS;

*e)* that WRC-2000 discussed methods to ensure required spectrum for
AMS(R)S, and adopted Resolution **222** and modified Nos. **5.337A** and
**5.357A**, but this may not be appropriately and sufficiently
prioritized from other networks under current provisions;

*f)* that, as most of these sub-bands are heavily used for, and spectrum
requirements of AMS(R)S have not been appropriately accommodated and
that it seems unclear to expect future long-term stable spectrum
availability and priority for AMS(R)S in these bands,

further considering

*a)* that coordination between satellite networks is required on a
bilateral basis in accordance with the Radio Regulations, and, in the
bands 1 525-1 559 MHz (space-to-Earth) and 1 626.5-1 660.5 MHz
(Earth-to-space), coordination is partially assisted by regional
multilateral meetings;

*b)* that, in these bands, geostationary satellite system operators
currently use a capacity planning approach at multilateral coordination
meetings, with the guidance and support of their administrations, to
periodically coordinate access to the spectrum needed to accommodate
their requirements together with general MSS networks and AMS(R)S
networks on a fair and justified basis,

recognizing

*a)* that absolute priority to all telecommunications concerning safety
of life at sea, on land, in air or in outer space is given by ITU
Constitution (CS/Art. 40 No. 191);

*b)* that according to No. **5.357A**, priority is given to
accommodating spectrum requirements of the aeronautical mobile-satellite
(R) service (AMS(R)S) in the bands 1 545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5
MHz in applying the procedures of Section II of Article **9** by
referring to Resolution **222 (WRC-2000)** which indicates procedures to
satisfy the spectrum requirement of AMS(R)S;

*c)* that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has
adopted Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) addressing satellite
communications with aircraft in accordance with the Convention on
International Civil Aviation;

*d)* that all air traffic communications as defined in Annex 10 to the
Convention on International Civil Aviation fall within priority
categories 1 to 6 of Article **44**;

*e)* that WRC-07 adopted Resolution **803** including *resolves* 2.3 to
consider results of ITU‑R studies in accordance with Resolution **222
(WRC-2000)** to ensure spectrum availability and priority for the
aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service, and to take appropriate
action on this subject, while retaining the generic allocation for the
mobile-satellite service,

noting

*a)* that Radiocommunication SG 8, WP 8D provided a work plan to study
feasibility and practicality of inter-system real time pre-emption in
the bands 1 545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz, and provided the
Report ITU-R M.2073;

*b)* that SG 8 decided at its meeting in November 2005 that the summary
and the conclusions of Report ITU-R M.2073 will be included in Chapter 7
of the CPM Report (preliminary Agenda item 2.3 of Resolution 803 for
WRC-11),

resolves to invite WRC-11

1 to consider results of ITU-R studies on the methods to ensure
long-term spectrum availability and priority for the aeronautical
mobile-satellite (R) service (AMS(R)S) in the bands 1 545-1 555 MHz and
1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz with regulatory and operational aspects, taking into
account *considering a)* to *f)* above;

2 to take appropriate action on this subject,

invites ITU-R

to conduct, as a matter of urgency and in time for consideration by
WRC-11, the appropriate technical, operational and regulatory studies to
ensure long-term spectrum availability and protection for the
aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service (AMS(R)S) including;

-- to examine, as a matter of urgency, the existing and future spectrum
requirements of the aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service;

-- to examine whether the increased requirements of the AMS(R)S can be
met within the existing allocations in the frequency bands 1 545-1 555
MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz in accordance with the associated
provisions;

-- if such an examination indicates that these requirements cannot be
met within the ranges 1 545-1 555 MHz and 1 646.5-1 656.5 MHz, without
undue constraints on the existing systems operating in accordance with
the Radio Regulations, to study existing and possible new allocations
for the mobile-satellite service where additional use of AMS(R)S
communications with priority categories 1 to 6 of Article **44**, could
be accommodated for global and seamless operation of civil aviation,
taking into account the need to avoid undue constraints on other
services;

-- to examine operating procedures for managing AMS(R)S spectrum in
generic MSS allocations;

-- to consider aeronautical safety communication systems and technology
by satellite for efficient use of spectrum,

of IMT preferably in bands between 6 GHz and 10.6 GHz and in\
higher frequency bands as appropriate

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2007),

considering

*a)* that the key radio characteristics of IMT-Advanced are specified in
ITU‑R Reports and Recommendations including Report ITU‑R M.2074 and that
this Recommendation describes peak data rates and carrier bandwidths for
IMT-Advanced;

*b)* that the transmission rates for the IMT-Advanced nomadic component
are up to approximately 1 Gbit/s. These transmission rates may require
bandwidths in the order of 100 MHz or more;

*c)* that in order to provide for these carrier bandwidths contiguous
spectrum of the order of 100 MHz or more may be required;

*d)* that contiguous spectrum portions of the order of 100 MHz or more
can be accommodated in bands above 6 GHz;

*e)* that adequate spectrum availability is a prerequisite for the
success of IMT-Advanced;

*f)* that global harmonization of some spectrum is desired for the
success of IMT-Advanced;

*g)* that current studies of IMT‑Advanced spectrum requirements
concentrated on bands below 5 GHz; however these same studies noted the
benefits inherent in bands above 6 GHz;

*h)* that there is an identified need for additional spectrum required
to meet future needs of the nomadic component of IMT-Advanced;

*i)* that a number of bands between 6 GHz and 10.6 GHz and higher
frequency bands are already allocated to the mobile service on a primary
basis in all three Regions;

*j)* that a number of bands between 6 GHz and 10.6 GHz and higher

basis in all three Regions;

*k)* that there is a need to consider the needs of existing services and
to protect them from any new services;

*l)* that ITU-R has outlined channel arrangements for existing services
in relevant existing Recommendations;

*m)* that it is timely to study user demand, technical, spectrum and
regulatory issues pertinent to the nomadic component of IMT-Advanced,

noting

*a)* that the bands above 6 GHz could be candidates for global
harmonization;

*b)* that the cell sizes for nomadic systems are heavily influenced by
the peak data rate requirement and only marginally by the frequency of
operation;

*c)* that the future deployment of IMT-Advanced nomadic systems in
indoor and isolated environments presents opportunities for sharing with
fixed links;

*d)* that the future deployment of IMT-Advanced nomadic systems is
required to meet capacity and coverage requirements,

recognizing

*a)* that some countries, particularly the developing countries, have a
need for low cost radiocommunications equipment;

*b)* that in order to achieve spectrum harmonization a solution based on
regional frequency ranges may enable administrations to benefit from
harmonization while continuing to meet national planning requirements,

resolves

that WRC‑11 be invited to consider the spectrum requirement for the
IMT-Advanced nomadic component and the identification of bands
preferably between 6 GHz and 10.6 GHz and in higher frequency bands as
appropriate, to meet this requirement,

invites ITU‑R

1 to study, as a matter of urgency, the spectrum requirements, potential
frequency ranges, technical and operational issues relating to the
nomadic component of IMT‑Advanced preferably in the bands between 6 GHz
and 10.6 GHz and in higher frequency bands as appropriate, and develop
Recommendations and Reports as required;

2 to report, in time for WRC‑11, on the results of the above studies.

terrestrial television broadcasting and other systems in this band,

recognizing

*a)* that in the Radio Regulations the band 470-806/862 MHz is allocated
and used on a primary basis for services other than broadcasting;

*b)* that the frequency band 470-806/862 MHz is allocated to the
broadcasting service on a primary basis in all three Regions and used
predominantly by this service and that the GE-06 Agreement applies in
all Region 1 countries and one country in Region 3;

*c)* that the transition from analogue to digital television is expected
to result in situations where the band 470-806/862 MHz will be used for
both analogue and digital terrestrial transmission; and the demand for
spectrum during the transition period may be even more than the
stand-alone usage of analogue broadcasting systems;

# Part 2 -- Consideration of Recommendation 800 (WRC-03) 

Two views have been expressed in the CPM Report (with or without
modification):

-- View 1: Not to upgrade Recommendation 800 (WRC-03) to a WRC
Resolution

-- View 2: To upgrade Recommendation 800 (WRC-03) to a WRC Resolution.

A draft new Resolution to provide guidelines for the development of
future WRC agendas is proposed. APT Members consider that these
guidelines form a useful basis for developing future agendas.

Due to the number and complexity of agenda items for WRC-07 and the
considerable amount of time which were spent on many of these agenda
items by the ITU-R Sector, APT countries support the upgrading of
Recommendation **800 (WRC-03)** to a WRC Resolution. To this effect,
this Recommendation needs to be suppressed while the content be included
in a new Resolution, an example of which is provided below.

**SUP** ASP/41A28/408

RECOMMENDATION 800 (WRC-03)

Principles for establishing agendas for world\
radiocommunication conferences

*Note: The following new Resolution is based on the text of
Recommendation 800 (WRC-03).*

**ADD** ASP/41A28/409

resolution \[ASP/AI7.2/9-aaa\] (WRC-07)

Principles for establishing agendas for world\
radiocommunication conferences

The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2007),

considering

*a)* that, in accordance with No. 118 of the ITU Convention, the general
scope of the agendas for world radiocommunication conferences (WRCs)
should be established four to six years in advance;

*b)* Article 13 of the ITU Constitution relating to the competence and
scheduling of WRCs and Article 7 of the Convention relating to their
agendas;

*c)* that No. 92 of the Constitution and Nos. 488 and 489 of the
Convention require conferences to be fiscally responsible;

*d)* that in Resolution 71 (Rev. Marrakesh, 2002), concerning the
strategic plan of the Union, the Plenipotentiary Conference noted the
increasingly complex and lengthy agendas for world radiocommunication
conferences;

*e)* that Resolution 80 (Rev. Marrakesh, 2002) of the Plenipotentiary
Conference and Resolution **72 (WRC‑2000)** recognize the positive
contribution of regional and informal groups and the need for improved
efficiency and fiscal prudence;

*f)* the relevant Resolutions of previous WRCs,

noting

*a)* that the number of issues addressed in agendas for WRCs has been
growing, and that some issues could not be resolved adequately in the
time allotted to the Conference, including conference preparations;

*b)* that some agenda items may have a greater impact on the future of
radiocommunications than others;

*c)* that the human and financial resources of ITU are limited;

*d)* that there is a need to limit the agenda of conferences, taking
account of the needs of developing countries, in a manner that allows
the major issues to be dealt with equitably and efficiently,

resolves

1 that the principles in Annex 1 should be used when developing future
WRC agendas;

2 that the template in Annex 2 should be used in proposing agenda items
for WRCs,

invites administrations

to participate in regional activities for the preparation of future WRC
agendas.

ANNEX 1 TO resolution \[ASP/AI7.2/9-AAA\] (WRC-07)

Principles for establishing agendas for WRCs

A conference agenda shall include:

1\) items assigned to it by the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference;

2\) items on which the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau has
been requested to report;

3\) items concerning instructions to the Radio Regulations Board and the
Radiocommunication Bureau regarding their activities, and concerning the
review of those activities.

In general, a conference may include on a future conference agenda an
item proposed by a group of administrations or an administration, if all
the following conditions are met:

1\) it addresses issues of a worldwide or regional character;

2\) it is expected that changes in the Radio Regulations, including WRC
Resolutions and Recommendations, may be necessary;

3\) it is expected that required studies can be completed (e.g. that
appropriate ITU‑R Recommendations will be approved) prior to that
conference;

4\) resources associated with the subject are kept within a range which
is manageable for Member States and Sector Members, the
Radiocommunication Bureau and ITU‑R Study Groups, Conference Preparatory
Meeting (CPM) and the Special Committee.

To the extent possible, agenda items arising from previous conferences,
normally reflected in Resolutions, and which have been considered by two
successive conferences, should not be considered, unless justified.

In developing the conference agenda, efforts should be made to:

*a)* encourage regional and interregional coordination on the subjects
to be considered in the preparatory process for the WRC, in accordance
with Resolution **72 (Rev.WRC‑2000)** and Resolution 80 (Rev. Marrakesh,
2002) of the Plenipotentiary Conference;

*b)* include, to the extent possible, agenda items that are proposed
through regional groups, taking into account the equal right of
individual administrations to submit proposals for agenda items;

*c)* ensure that proposals are submitted with an indication of priority;

*d)* include in proposals an assessment of their financial and other
resource implications (with the assistance of the Radiocommunication
Bureau) to ensure that they are within the agreed budgetary limits for
ITU‑R;

*e)* ensure that the objectives and scope of proposed agenda items are
complete and unambiguous;

*f)* take into account the status of the ITU‑R studies related to the
potential agenda items before considering them as possible candidates
for future agendas;

*g)* distinguish between items intended to result in changes to the
Radio Regulations and those dealing solely with the progress of studies.

| ***Background/reason:***      |                                      |
|                               |                                      |
| HF ocean radar has been       |                                      |
| developed since the 1970s as  |                                      |
| a device for using the HF     |                                      |
| band to acquire information   |                                      |
| on the ocean surface (surface |                                      |
| currents, waves, surface      |                                      |
| winds, etc.). At present,     |                                      |
| about 45 HF ocean radars are  |                                      |
| operating in Japan, either    |                                      |
| continuously or as and when   |                                      |
| required. These are used not  |                                      |
| only for the analysis of flow |                                      |
| fields in coastal waters, but |                                      |
| also for experimental         |                                      |
| purposes aimed at the         |                                      |
| development of public         |                                      |
| operations such as safe       |                                      |
| navigation and monitoring of  |                                      |
| floating objects.             |                                      |
|                               |                                      |
| Ocean radar uses Bragg        |                                      |
| scattering from waves on the  |                                      |
| ocean surface with            |                                      |
| wavelengths ranging from      |                                      |
| about 5 to 50 m, and thus     |                                      |
| employs wavelengths in the HF |                                      |
| band. The radar is operated   |                                      |
| in the FMCW (frequency        |                                      |
| modulated continuous wave)    |                                      |
| mode. For practical flow      |                                      |
| field analysis, a range       |                                      |
| resolution of within 1.5 km   |                                      |
| is needed, requiring an       |                                      |
| occupied bandwidth of         |                                      |
| 100 kHz.                      |                                      |

| shown that any change intended   |                                   |
| to improve the flexibility of    |                                   |
| administrations in accommodating |                                   |
| converging services has to rely  |                                   |
| on a combination of service      |                                   |
| definitions, allocations and     |                                   |
| procedures. Improving            |                                   |
| flexibility of the RR and the    |                                   |
| timeliness of their              |                                   |
| implementation will therefore    |                                   |
| require continuation of the      |                                   |
| studies, with more focus on the  |                                   |

| It is important that the Radio   |                                   |
| Regulations reflect and          |                                   |
| encompass existing and new       |                                   |
| wireless technologies and        |                                   |
| services. To remain relevant,    |                                   |
| Radio Regulations must evolve    |                                   |
| and the timeframe for effecting  |                                   |
| changes to the Radio Regulations |                                   |
| is somewhere in the range of 4-8 |                                   |
| years depending upon the timing  |                                   |
| of conferences. In an            |                                   |
| environment of fast evolving     |                                   |
| technology, the time and efforts |                                   |
| required via the WRC process may |                                   |
| prevent administrations from     |                                   |
| accommodating new and emerging   |                                   |

| flexibility in the Radio         |                                   |

| The current technological        |                                   |
| environment is substantively     |                                   |
| different from the one when the  |                                   |
| current allocation principles    |                                   |
| were established. New            |                                   |
| applications are being developed |                                   |
| in both terrestrial and          |                                   |
| satellite radiocommunication     |                                   |
| systems. Such applications and   |                                   |
| systems do not always fit into   |                                   |
| the traditional definition of    |                                   |
| the radiocommunication services. |                                   |

| additional studies, enabling     |                                   |
| action to be taken at future     |                                   |
| competent conferences            |                                   |
|                                  |                                   |
| To that end, further studies     |                                   |
| should be conducted including,   |                                   |
| but not limited to, further      |                                   |
| developments of options already  |                                   |
| identified by the ITU-R on       |                                   |
| Resolution 951 (WRC-03),         |                                   |
| together with any other options  |                                   |
| that appear to be potentially    |                                   |
| beneficial in advance of WRC-11  |                                   |
| and subsequent conferences.      |                                   |
|                                  |                                   |
| However, the response to         |                                   |
| Resolution 951 has to lead to    |                                   |
| concrete actions. APT proposes   |                                   |
| an agenda item for WRC-11 which  |                                   |
| would enable further studies in  |                                   |
| order to improve the             |                                   |
| international spectrum           |                                   |
| regulatory framework through the |                                   |
| exploration of new concepts and  |                                   |
| methodologies for consideration  |                                   |
| at WRC-11 and implementation on  |                                   |
| suitable bands at subsequent     |                                   |
| conferences.                     |                                   |
|                                  |                                   |
| In this context, it should also  |                                   |
| be noted that the preliminary    |                                   |
| agenda for WRC-11 in             |                                   |
| Resolution 803 (WRC-03) proposes |                                   |
| to consider the progress of the  |                                   |
| ITU‑R studies concerning the     |                                   |
| development and regulatory       |                                   |
| requirements of terrestrial      |                                   |
| wireless interactive multimedia  |                                   |
| applications, in accordance with |                                   |
| Recommendation **722**           |                                   |
| **(WRC‑03)** and to take any     |                                   |
| appropriate action on this       |                                   |
| subject (AI 2.8). There have not |                                   |
| been any studies under this      |                                   |
| related AGI so far and therefore |                                   |
| it may be possible to use this   |                                   |
| placeholder for a Resolution 951 |                                   |
| (WRC-03) associated agenda item. |                                   |
| Applications are emerging in     |                                   |
| which elements of different      |                                   |
| radiocommunication services (as  |                                   |
| defined in the Radio             |                                   |
| Regulations) are combined and    |                                   |
| there is a convergence of radio  |                                   |
| technologies, in as much as the  |                                   |
| same radio technology can be     |                                   |
| used in systems that operate in  |                                   |
| different radiocommunication     |                                   |
| services or with different       |                                   |
| allocation status (primary or    |                                   |
| secondary). The purpose of the   |                                   |
| Radio Regulations is to ensure a |                                   |
| framework for the effective      |                                   |
| management and use of spectrum   |                                   |
| and to facilitate the            |                                   |
| development of existing or new   |                                   |
| applications and technologies    |                                   |
| while taking into account the    |                                   |
| existing systems.                |                                   |
|                                  |                                   |
| Further studies in respect of    |                                   |
| Resolution 951 (WRC-03) can be   |                                   |
| expected to lead to the          |                                   |
| consideration of new types of    |                                   |
| notification forms that offer a  |                                   |
| more flexible and comprehensive  |                                   |
| way of capturing assignment data |                                   |
| for a range of purposes. In      |                                   |
| turn, this may impact on the     |                                   |
| organization of Appendix 4 to    |                                   |
| the Radio Regulations and the    |                                   |
| associated forms of notices.     |                                   |
|                                  |                                   |
| APT therefore proposes that the  |                                   |
| revisions to Resolution 951,     |                                   |
| needed to condition the scope of |                                   |
| further work, also allow for the |                                   |
| possibility to adapt the         |                                   |

| The concerns expressed by the   |   |                                   |
| ABU would, to an extent, be     |   |                                   |
| mitigated if the TV links were  |   |                                   |
| to operate in a known frequency |   |                                   |
| environment. This implies that  |   |                                   |
| a specific frequency band be    |   |                                   |
| made available for TV link      |   |                                   |
| applications. Such a step would |   |                                   |
| eliminate interference          |   |                                   |
| potential to TV links and to    |   |                                   |

| linking in other countries      |   |                                   |
| while pursuing a news story or  |   |                                   |
| a sporting event.               |   |                                   |

| From the point of view of       |   |                                   |
| service reliability and         |   |                                   |
| propagation conditions, the     |   |                                   |
| lowest available frequency band |   |                                   |
| would offer definite            |   |                                   |
| advantages. On a comparative    |   |                                   |
| scale, usage of lower frequency |   |                                   |
| bands would lead to:            |   |                                   |
|                                 |   |                                   |
| -- lowest equipment investment, |   |                                   |
|                                 |   |                                   |
| -- equipment simplicity,        |   |                                   |
|                                 |   |                                   |
| -- propagation path stability   |   |                                   |
| which is particularly important |   |                                   |
| in tropical climatic zones.     |   |                                   |
|                                 |   |                                   |
| It would, therefore, seem       |   |                                   |
| imperative to look for an       |   |                                   |
| appropriate sub-band in a       |   |                                   |
| comparatively lower portion of  |   |                                   |
| the spectrum. As an example,    |   |                                   |
| the 2.5 GHz band would seem to  |   |                                   |
| ideally suit the requirements   |   |                                   |
| of TV links. For operations in  |   |                                   |
| the tropical climatic zones     |   |                                   |
| this is an appropriate band.    |   |                                   |
| The rain attenuation is         |   |                                   |
| substantially less than, for    |   |                                   |
| example, in 7 GHz and higher    |   |                                   |
| frequency bands. This factor    |   |                                   |
| has a predominant influence on  |   |                                   |
| the e.i.r.p. requirement which  |   |                                   |
| is at a premium for mobile      |   |                                   |
| applications. It is, however,   |   |                                   |
| acknowledged that this band is  |   |                                   |
| used for other services in many |   |                                   |
| countries and may not be        |   |                                   |
| available for the TV linking    |   |                                   |
| services.                       |   |                                   |

| addressed in the CPM Report   |   |                                   |
| but no explicit agreement on  |   |                                   |
| some of the candidate bands   |   |                                   |
| were made. Nor was agreement  |   |                                   |
| reached on how much spectrum  |   |                                   |
| may be required to satisfy    |   |                                   |
| the nomadic requirements.     |   |                                   |
