No part of the contents of this document may be disclosed, used or reproduced in any form, or by any means, without the prior written consent of Quotient Associates Ltd. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Objective and scope Within industry and academia there is significant activity in research and development towards the next generation of mobile broadband technologies (5G). Coupled with this there is increasing interest in identifying the frequency bands that will be needed to deliver 5G services. At the moment there is no overall consensus on what 5G will actually be. Work in ITU-R (WP5D) is ongoing to develop a vision for 5G (IMT 2020) including identifying the target capabilities. It is, however, widely accepted that at least one element of 5G will require the use of spectrum bands at much higher frequencies than those that current mobile broadband technologies can make use of, e.g. bands above 6 GHz. A first step currently being discussed is a proposal for an agenda item for the World Radio Conference after next (WRC-19) to identify suitable high frequency spectrum for 5G in the ITU Radio Regulations.

    PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Communications Commission News Media Information 202 / 418-0500 th Internet: http://www.fcc.gov 445 12 St., S.W. TTY: 1-888-835-5322 Washington, D.C. 20554 FCC 17-46 Released: April 24, 2017 FCC SEEKS COMMENT AND DATA ON ACTIONS TO ACCELERATE ADOPTION AND ACCESSIBILITY OF BROADBAND-ENABLED HEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES GN Docket No. 16-46 Comment Date: May 24, 2017 Reply Comment Date: June 8, 2017 Broadband networks are increasingly important to our national well-being and everyday lives. As such, we must maximize their availability and ensure that all Americans can take advantage of the variety of services that broadband enables, including 21st century health care. In this Public Notice, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) seeks information on how it can help enable the adoption and accessibility of broadband-enabled health care solutions, especially in rural and other underserved areas of the country. We expect to use this information to identify actions that the Commission can take to promote this important goal. Ensuring that everyone is connected to the people, services, and information they need to get well and stay healthy is an important challenge facing our nation.1 Technology innovations in clinical practice and care delivery coupled with burgeoning consumer reliance on mHealth2 and health information technology (or healthIT)3 are fundamentally changing the face of health care, and a widespread, accessible broadband infrastructure is critical to this ongoing shift. Indeed, the future of modern health care appears to be fundamentally premised on the widespread availability and accessibility of high-speed connectivity.4 By some estimates, broadband-enabled health information technology can help to improve the quality of health care and significantly lower health care costs by hundreds of billions of dollars in the 1 See, e.g., Healthy People 2020, U.

Given the increasing commercial demand for radio spectrum, and the high monetary value associated with such use, innovative approaches to spectrum management will be necessary to ensure the scientific capabilities of current and future radio telescopes. Key aspects include development of methods, in both hardware and software, to improve mitigation and excision of radio frequency interference (RFI). In addition, innovative approaches to radio regulations and coordination between observatories and commercial

Abstract: A compact concentric structured monopole antenna for super wide band (SWB) applica- tions with triple notch band characteristics is designed and experimentally validated. The antenna covers an immense impedance bandwidth (1.6–47.5 GHz) with sharp triple notch bands at 1.8– 2.2 GHz, 4–7.2 GHz, and 9.8–10.4 GHz to eliminate interference from co-existing advanced wireless services (AWS), C bands, and X bands, respectively. By loading an E-shaped stub connected at the top of the patch and by etching a split elliptical slot at the lower end of the radiating patch, the band rejection characteristics from 1.8–2.2 GHz for the AWS and 4–7.2 GHz for the C band are achieved, Citation: Balani, W.; Sarvagya, M.; respectively.

The interaction of the light from astronomical objects with the constituents of the Earth’s atmosphere leads to the formation of telluric absorption lines in ground-based collected spectra. Correcting for these lines, mostly affecting the red and infrared region of the spectrum, usually relies on observations of specific stars obtained close in time and airmass to the science targets, therefore using precious observing time.

Motorola Solutions has participated in the development of the comments being submitted today by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). MSI supports those comments but takes this opportunity to highlight a key position.
