The 6th meeting of the ITU-R TG5/1 in Geneva
The 6th (the last) meeting of the ITU-R TG5/1 was held.
TG 5/1 is responsible for the development of draft CPM text about WRC-19 Agenda item
1.13 (Addition of mobile service in the 24.25-86 GHz band for future IMT development), andstudies for frequency sharing between radiosystems is conducted by this group.
1. Outline of the Meeting
Schedule: From 20 to 29 August 2018
Venue: ITU headquarter (Geneva, Switzerland)Participants:
About 150 people from each country's Administration, Operator, Vendor, etc.
As Japanese delegation headed by Mr. Arimura of MIC, 9 person participated.
Mr. Nishioka and Mr. Kato participated from ARIB.
2. Main results(1) Frequency Sharing Study- Regarding the 26GHz (24.25 - 27.5GHz) band, although it was roughly concluded to bepossible to share with frequency satellite service (FSS), the condition on which FSS would
be under interference was pointed out. In addition, the result that unwanted emission of
the IMT system should be reduced further than the value currently assumed in order toprotect the Earth Exploration Satellite Service (EESS(passive)), was reported.
(2) Drafting of CPM Text
- For the 32GHz band, it was concluded that it was difficult to share with Radio Navigation
Service (RNS) and the band would not to be identified for IMT. For sharing with othersystems, no agreement was reached although discussion had been held.
- Regarding the 26GHz band, revision of unwanted emission for EESS(passive) protection
and the frequency sharing conditions (Restriction on transmission power, antenna
elevation, and equivalent power flux density, etc.) were discussed. As a result, options for
CPM19-2 were made clear.
3. Future Plan
CPM texts drafted at this meeting are to be finalized at CPM19-2 which will be held in
Geneva, Switzerland from 18 to 28 February 2019.
