    11. The licensee must ensure that the operation of a radiocommunications transmitter under this licence complies with the protection requirements specified in Part 3 of the Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference from Spectrum Licensed Transmitters – 26 GHz Band) 2020, as in force from time to time.
Synchronisation requirement
    12. If:
(a) interference occurs between:

           (i) a radiocommunications device (the first device) operated under this licence; and
           (ii) one or more radiocommunications devices that are not earth stations (the other devices) operated under another 26 GHz band spectrum licence or an area-wide licence that authorises the operation of one or more radiocommunications devices in the frequency range 24.7 GHz–29.5 GHz (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, as in force from time to time, or any instrument that replaces those guidelines; and

(c) either the licensee or the holder (or authorised third party) of the other licence wishes to resolve the interference; and

(d) no agreement between the licensee and each person operating one or more other devices can be reached on how to manage the interference;

     then, by the end of the day specified in condition 13, the licensee 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 mentioned in subparagraph (a)(ii) (disregarding any device at a time at which the device is not making a radio emission).

         Note:  The synchronisation requirement only applies when an interference issue occurs and where there is no other measure agreed by the licensees to resolve the interference. This means synchronisation can be done on a site/cell specific basis. During any period in which the licensee of this licence and another licensee are taking steps to resolve the interference issue or synchronise, the ACMA will generally give priority to the radiocommunications device registered first in time in any interference dispute. The radiocommunications device or devices registered later-in-time will generally be required to accept any interference or cease causing interference during this time.
