Agenda Item Description
Agenda Item 1.1

This agenda item relates to consideration of an allocation of the frequency band 50-54 MHz to the amateur service in Region 1, in accordance with Resolution 658 [COM6/6] (WRC-15) which resolves to invite the 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference to consider the results of the studies below and take appropriate actions, including spectrum allocation, with the ITU-R to study spectrum needs and sharing with the mobile, fixed, radiolocation and broadcasting services.

The ITU-R is invited to study:

  1. the spectrum needs in Region 1 for the amateur service
  2. taking into account the spectrum needs, study sharing between the amateur service and the mobile, fixed, radiolocation and broadcasting services
Agenda Item 1.11

This agenda item relates to taking necessary actions, as appropriate, to facilitate global or regional harmonized frequency bands to support railway radiocommunication systems between train and trackside within existing mobile service allocations, in accordance with Resolution 236 [COM6/12] (WRC-15).

The Resolution notes that Study Group 5 is studying relevant technical and operational characteristics for railway radiocommunication systems.

It also emphasizes that the provisions of Nos. 1.59 and 4.10 (relating to safety services) do not apply for railway radiocommunication systems.

The ITU-R is invited to study the spectrum needs, technical and operational characteristics and implementation of railway radiocommunication systems between train and trackside.

Agenda Item 1.12

This agenda item relates to consideration of possible global or regional harmonized frequency bands, to the maximum extent possible, for the implementation of evolving Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) under existing mobile-service allocations, in accordance with Resolution 237 [COM6/13] (WRC-15).

ITS systems are communication applications for the purpose of improving traffic management and assisting safe driving and the Resolution notes use of bands around 5.8 GHz for short range applications.

It also emphasizes that the provisions of Nos. 1.59 and 4.10 (relating to safety services) do not apply for railway radiocommunication systems.

The ITU-R is invited to carry out studies on technical and operational aspects of evolving ITS implementation using existing mobile-service allocations.

Agenda Item 1.16

This agenda item relates to consideration of issues related to wireless access systems, including radio local area networks (WAS/RLAN), in the frequency bands between 5 150 MHz and 5 925 MHz, and take the appropriate regulatory actions, including additional spectrum allocations to the mobile service, in accordance with Resolution 239 [COM6/22] (WRC-15).

The ITU-R is invited to:

  1. study WAS/RLAN technical characteristics and operational requirements,
  2. conduct studies with a view to identify potential WA/RLAN mitigation techniques to facilitate sharing with incumbent services at 5 150 - 5 350 MHz, 5 350 - 5 470 MHz, 5 725 - 5 850 and 5 850 - 5925 MHz,
  3. to perform sharing and compatibility studies in the band 5 150 - 5 350 MHz of the possibility of enabling outdoor WLAN/RLAN operations
  4. to conduct further sharing and compatibility studies between WA/RLAN applications and incumbent services at 5 350 - 5 470 MHz addressing:
    1. whether additional mitigation techniques would provide coexistence with EESS (active) and SRS (active) systems,
    2. with radio determination systems and,
    3. hence whether an allocation could be made to the mobile service for use by WAS/RLANs,
  5. to conduct detailed sharing and compatibility studies including mitigation techniques between WAS/RLAN and incumbent services in the band 5 725 - 5 850 MHz with a view of enabling a mobile service to accommodate WAS/RLAN use, and
  6. to conduct detailed sharing and compatibility studies including mitigation techniques between WAS/RLAN and incumbent services in the band 5 850 - 5 925 MHz with a view to accommodating WAS/RLAN use under the existing mobile allocation while not imposing any additional constraints on the existing services.
Agenda Item 9.1.5

This agenda item relates to consideration of the technical and regulatory impacts of referencing Recommendations ITU-R M.1638-1 and ITU-R M.1849-1 in Nos. 5.447F and 5.450A of the Radio Regulations.
