day it commenced;
 (e) interference with the Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex or the New Norcia Deep Space Ground Station;
 (f) the maximum number of radiocommunication transmitters authorised by an area-wide licence within a particular area or within any area of a particular size.

        Note 1:  For paragraph (d), the 'device boundary' for a radiocommunications transmitter is a measurement of certain power levels at points surrounding the transmitter.

6 Synchronisation requirement
        (1) If:
 (a) interference occurs between:
 (i) a radiocommunications device (the first device), other than an earth station, operated under an area-wide licence (the first licence); and
 (ii) one or more radiocommunications devices that are not earth stations (the other devices) operated under another area-wide licence or a 26 GHz spectrum licence (the other licence); and
 (b) the level of interference to the first device or to one or more of the other devices exceeds the compatibility requirement set out in Schedule 2 to the Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference to Spectrum Licensed Receivers – 26 GHz Band) 2020, or any instrument that replaces that instrument; and
 (c) either the licensee of the first licence or the licensee of the other licence wishes to resolve the interference; and
 (d) no agreement between the licensee and each person operating one or more of the other devices can be reached on how to manage the interference;
        then, by the end of the day specified in subclause (2), the licensee of the first licence is required to manage the interference by:
 (e) either:
 (i) operating the first device with the uplink-downlink configuration; or
 (ii) operating the first device using a sequence and duration of radio emissions that is consistent with those configurations (disregarding any time at which the device is not making a radio emission); and
 (f) synchronising the timing of the uplink-downlink configuration or other sequence of radio emissions of the first device with the timing of the uplink-downlink configuration or other sequence of radio emissions of each of the other devices (disregarding any device at a time at which the device is not making a radio emission).
        (2) For the purposes of subclause (1), the later of the following days is specified:
 (a) the day occurring 14 days after the day the interference was first reported in writing to the licensee of the first licence; or
 (b) if an alternative day is agreed with the licensee of the other licence – that alternative day.
