Report ITU-R M.2480-0 (09/2019) National approaches of some countries on the implementation of terrestrial IMT systems in bands identified for IMT M Series Mobile, radiodetermination, amateur and related satellite services ii Rep. ITU-R M.2480-0 Foreword The role of the Radiocommunication Sector is to ensure the rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio- frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services, including satellite services, and carry out studies without limit of frequency range on the basis of which Recommendations are adopted. The regulatory and policy functions of the Radiocommunication Sector are performed by World and Regional Radiocommunication Conferences and Radiocommunication Assemblies supported by Study Groups. Policy on Intellectual Property Right (IPR) ITU-R policy on IPR is described in the Common Patent Policy for ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC referenced in Resolution ITU- R 1. Forms to be used for the submission of patent statements and licensing declarations by patent holders are available from http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/go/patents/en where the Guidelines for Implementation of the Common Patent Policy for ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC and the ITU-R patent information database can also be found.

The Report in its current form contains some information that is not relevant to its scope, e.g. description of the auctions principles that are studied by ITU-R SG1. Moreover, this Report does not sufficiently addresses some important technical and regulatory aspects, e.g. experience on compatibility of IMT systems with other services and on application of RR No 9.21 when introducing IMT. 2 Rep.
