DOC-370264A1.Pdf February 24, 2021 FACT SHEET* Facilitating Shared Use in the 3.1-3.55 GHz Band Second Report and Order, Order on Reconsideration, and Order of Proposed Modification, WT Docket No. 19-348 Background The Beat China by Harnessing Important, National Airwaves for 5G Act of 2020, which was included in the Fiscal Year 2021 omnibus spending bill, requires the Commission to work with its Federal partners to bring all of the 3.45 GHz band spectrum to market for next-generation wireless use through a system of competitive bidding by December 31, 2021. Beginning the implementation of this Congressional mandate, this item reallocates 100 megahertz in the 3.45 GHz band for flexible use wireless services and adopt rules to implement the new 3.45 GHz Service, The framework adopted for the 3.45 GHz band will enable full-power commercial use and provide flexibility to future licensees in deploying their networks in this band, while also ensuring that federal incumbents are still protected where and when they require continued access to the band. What the Second Report and Order Would Do: • Make 100 megahertz of spectrum in the 3.45 GHz band available for flexible use wireless services throughout the contiguous United States; • Add a co-primary, non-federal fixed and mobile (except aeronautical mobile) allocation to the band; • Create a regime to coordinate non-federal and federal use of spectrum by adopting Cooperative Planning Areas and Periodic Use Areas and establishing coordination procedures; • Adopt a band plan and technical, licensing, and competitive bidding rules for the 3.45 GHz band, including performance requirements benchmarks intended to promote rapid deployment; • Require non-federal radiolocation operators to sunset operations within 180 days after the grant of new flexible-use licenses and provide for reimbursement of reasonable relocation costs; and • Require amateur operators to cease operations in the 3.45 GHz band within 90 days of the public notice announcing the close of the auction, while allowing those operations to continue in the 3.3- 3.45 GHz portion of the band pending future Commission action in that spectrum. What the Order on Reconsideration Would Do: • Dismiss ARRL’s petition for reconsideration of the decision to sunset the amateur allocation in the 3.3-3.55 GHz band on procedural and substantive grounds. What the Order of Proposed Modification Would Do: • Propose to modify the licenses of secondary, non-federal radiolocation operations operating in the 3.3-3.55 GHz band to reflect the new frequency assignment in the 2.9-3.0 GHz band. * This document is being released as part of a “permit-but-disclose” proceeding. Any presentations or views on the subject expressed to the Commission or its staff, including by email, must be filed in WT Docket No. 19-348, which may be accessed via the Electronic Comment Filing System (https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/). Before filing, participants should familiarize themselves with the Commission’s ex parte rules, including the general prohibition on presentations (written and oral) on matters listed on the Sunshine Agenda, which is typically released a week prior to the Commission’s meeting.

  • Accurate Location Detection 911 Help SMS App
    System and method that allows for cost effective location detection accuracy that exceeds current FCC standards. Accurate Location Detection 911 Help SMS App White Paper White Paper: 911 Help SMS App 1 Cost Effective Location Detection Techniques Used by the 911 Help SMS App to Overcome Smartphone Flaws and GPS Discrepancies Minh Tran, DMD Box 1089 Springfield, VA 22151 Phone: (267) 250-0594 Email: [email protected] Introduction As of April 2015, approximately 64% of Americans own smartphones. Although there has been progress with E911 and NG911, locating cell phone callers remains a major obstacle for 911 dispatchers. This white papers gives an overview of techniques used by the 911 Help SMS App to more accurately locate victims indoors and outdoors when using smartphones. Background Location information is not only transmitted to the call center for the purpose of sending emergency services to the scene of the incident, it is used by the wireless network operator to determine to which PSAP to route the call. With regards to E911 Phase 2, wireless network operators must provide the latitude and longitude of callers within 300 meters, within six minutes of a request by a PSAP. To locate a mobile telephone geographically, there are two general approaches. One is to use some form of radiolocation from the cellular network; the other is to use a Global Positioning System receiver built into the phone itself. Radiolocation in cell phones use base stations. Most often this is done through triangulation between radio towers. White Paper: 911 Help SMS App 2 Problem GPS accuracy varies and could incorrectly place the victim’s location at their neighbor’s home.

  • Facilitating 5G in the 3.45-3.55 Ghz Band Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - WT Docket No
    September 9, 2020 FACT SHEET* Facilitating 5G in the 3.45-3.55 GHz Band Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - WT Docket No. 19-348 Background: The Commission has acted quickly in recent years to meet the growing demand for mid- band spectrum for 5G. Last month, the FCC concluded an auction of 70 megahertz of Priority Access Licenses in the 3.5 GHz band, and on December 8, the Commission will begin an auction of 280 megahertz of spectrum in the 3.7 GHz band in the adjacent C-band. In the MOBILE NOW Act, Congress directed the Commission to identify spectrum for new mobile and fixed wireless broadband use, and to work with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to evaluate whether commercial wireless services and federal incumbents could share use of spectrum between 3.1 and 3.55 GHz. In December 2019, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to remove the non-federal allocations from the 3.3-3.55 GHz band and seeking comment on relocating incumbent non-federal operations out of the band, in order to prepare it for possible commercial use. Last month, the White House and the Department of Defense announced plans to allow for commercial 5G systems to operate in the 3.45-3.55 GHz band throughout almost all of the contiguous U.S. What the Order Would Do: • Eliminate the non-federal radiolocation service allocation in the 3.3-3.55 GHz band and the non- federal amateur allocation in the 3.3-3.5 GHz band but allow incumbent licensees to continue operating in the 3.45-3.55 GHz band until a future date; • Relocate non-federal radiolocation licensees to the 2.9-3.0 GHz band, allowing them to continue operating on a secondary basis to federal operations, consistent with current allocations; and • Allow amateur licensees to individually determine appropriate alternate spectrum from existing available spectrum allocations.

Humayun Kabir3 1 Telecommunication, American International University, Bangladesh. 2 Electrical and Electronic Engineering, American International University, Bangladesh. 3 Faculty of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineer, American International University, Bangladesh. * Corresponding author. Tel.: +8801911195987; email: [email protected] Manuscript submitted January 10, 2018; accepted March 8, 2018. doi: 10.17706/ijcce.2018.7.3.85-97 Abstract: A popular approach, called as Radiolocation, measures parameters of radio signals that travel between a Mobile Station (MS) and a set of fixed transceivers, which are subsequently used to derive the location estimation of MS. The purpose of this research was to investigate the performance of Time of Arrival (TOA) based Radiolocation approach for finding the location of MS in the CDMA cellular networks. Another aim was to find out suitable location estimation algorithm using measured parameters by Radiolocation approach. Finally, the accuracy of the Radiolocation was examined by comparing two different location estimation algorithms. Two different algorithms for position estimation methods, named as Neural Networks and Least Square algorithms, were used to determine the location of MS. The simulation results suggested that the Neural Network algorithm provides better accuracy in position estimation which were depicted by supportive simulation results in the article. Key words: Time of arrival (TOA), radiolocation, neural networks, least square algorithms. 1. Introduction Time of arrival (TOA), the strength of a signal and Angle of arrival (AOA) techniques are among those techniques that can be utilized to approximate and evaluate the position of Primary users.

  • Emerging Technologies and Their Expected Impact on Non-Federal Spectrum Demand
    EMERGING TECHNOLOGIE S AND THEIR EXPECTED IMPACT ON NON-FEDERAL SPECTRUM DEMAND May 2019 EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR EXPECTED IMPACT ON NON-FEDERAL SPECTRUM DEMAND Mr. President: Wireless technology has the power to drive our economy, protect national security, and improve the lives of Americans in ways that are still being discovered. As a result of our Nation’s leadership in 4G, we increased GDP by $100 billion in 2016, created more jobs, lowered consumer costs, and ensured that the United States was the home to the entrepreneurial revolution of advanced wireless applications. 5G networks can move massive amounts of data at exponentially faster speeds than existing 4G LTE networks, and will ensure American job growth, improve national security, and ensure American technological leadership in the 21st century. However, as our nation continues to innovate and create devices that are more capable, the demand for spectrum increases as well. To reap the benefits of 5G and the networks of the future, the Nation must have a forward-looking strategic policy to make spectrum use more efficient and make more spectrum available. In your October 25, 2018 Presidential Memorandum, “Developing a Sustainable Spectrum Strategy for America’s Future,” you directed The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop a report on emerging technologies and their expected impact on non-Federal spectrum demand. The attached report examines the foundation of 5G technologies and the critical importance of leveraging such technologies to expedite rollout of 5G networks, details the spectrum requirements of 5G and Wi- Fi, and reviews recent and ongoing activities across the government to meet the spectrum demand.
