. Sub-Working Group 1

To undertake sharing studies, including reviewing existing available sharing studies (both in ITU- R texts and from other sources), and prepare associated AWF Reports on sharing scenarios identified within the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity Wireless Forum.

SWG1 will continue to update a report on “Studies on the Co-Existence between IMT-2000 Technologies and Between IMT-2000 Technologies and Other Wireless Access Technologies in Adjacent and Near-Adjacent Frequency Bands.” Currently four sharing studies are conducted out of seven scenarios have been identified for these studies. These are: 1. between a CDMA2000 downlink in the 1930 – 1990 MHz frequency band and an WCDMA uplink in the 1920 – 1980 MHz frequency band, 2. between CDMA2000 systems in the 1920 – 1980 / 2110 – 2170 MHz frequency bands and WCDMA systems in the 1920 – 1980 / 2110 – 2170 MHz frequency bands, 3. between a CDMA2000 downlink in the 869 - 894 MHz frequency band and a GSM or WCDMA uplink in the 880 – 915 MHz frequency band, 4. between a CDMA2000 uplink in the 1850 - 1910 MHz frequency band and a GSM downlink in the 1805 - 1880 MHz frequency band, 5. between TDD and FDD systems at 2 GHz, 6. from broadcast operations in the 470 – 800 MHz band into CDMA2000 networks operating in the 450 – 470 MHz band, 7. between PHS systems in the 1885 – 1920 MHz band and WCDMA uplinks in the 1920- 1980 MHz band.

The output reports should include all relevant details of the sharing studies which should cover the Page 6 of 26 definition of the interference scenario, relevant analytical studies (including equipment characteristics requirements, radio propagation models, etc.), results of analytical studies and results of live testing.

SWG1 will also gather information on the sharing studies that have already been undertaken by the ITU, standards organizations and other sources on these interference scenarios.

SWG1 has the additional responsibility to review spectrum matters concerning the UHF spectrum which will be available after the final transition from analogue to Digital TV, so called “Digital Dividend Spectrum”. The Terms of References on digital dividend are: 1. to review the availability of spectrum resulting from the introduction of digital terrestrial television broadcasting in the band 470-806 MHz and the potential alternative uses of the spectrum so released 2. to develop recommended harmonized approaches for the introduction of new wireless technologies, services and application in released spectrum, including preferred frequency bands and associated technical characteristics.

The Sub-Working Group may work by correspondence and present a report on the results of its work at each AWF meeting.

The focus of the work for this group is as follows:

1. To consider the use of frequency bands included in WRC-03 Resolution 646 to develop technical parameters and channelling plans for harmonized use of these bands for PPDR 2. To consider and make proposals on frequencies for harmonized PPDR use in Asia-Pacific countries.

The initial tasks attributed to this group were completed. At present this Sub-Working Group focus on aeronautical and maritime matters and would address the issues of the use of mobile phone as well as the use of other modern wireless technologies on-board aircraft and vessels. These activities will include, but not be limited to:  For the use of mobile phones on board aircraft and vessels: o Licensing issues and possible ways to harmonize the approach to licensing by APT members such as mutual recognition while taking due account of national differences. o Spectrum matters noting that currently a number of different frequency bands and different mobile technologies are in use in the Asia-Pacific region. o The preparation of an AWF Report on technical requirements especially in regard to the capability of the equipment on-board the aircraft and vessels as well as the technical and operational conditions of each country being over-flown.  For other wireless technologies: Page 7 of 26 o Spectrum harmonization issues including preferred frequency bands and associated technical characteristics. o Associated regulatory and licensing issues, when considered appropriate.

The focus of the work for this group will be as follows:

1. Investigation on New Technology facilitating BWA services: - This task includes the analysis of feasibility/applicability of new technologies such as SDR and Cognitive Radio in BWA services. - Commercial services or standardization activities are expected to be presented. - A [Some] technical report[s] or report[s] on case studies are produced as output of this task.

2. Co-existence studies between BWA and other services or between BWA technologies in the bands above 2.3GHz, which are not covered by the WRC-11 Agenda Item. - Since Sub-Working Group 1 of the Spectrum Working Group handles the co-existence issues between fixed and IMT-2000 services, the Administrations would be encouraged to contribute the sharing studies focusing on the cases between mobile BWA and other services in various frequency bands. - A [Some] technical reports or report[s] on case studies are produced as output of this task.

3. Studies on the technical and service requirements of BWA in order to ascertain harmonized views on the BWA deployment in APT member countries. - This task includes the ascertainment of BWA services and technologies, and the recognition of BWA spectrum used in the APT region. This task may also include the efforts to produce harmonized views on BWA deployment in the APT region based on the Administrations’ demands. - The specific views on underlying BWA technologies/services would be presented by any Administrations and possibly will be documented as case studies based on the requests/contributions. - A [Some] technical report[s] or report[s] on case studies are produced as output of this task. The Recommendation to recommend harmonized use of spectrum such as harmonized band plan may be developed on a demand basis.
