RABC FWCC Meeting Ottawa, Ontario June 7, 2007

1. Canadian Preparation for the 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07) RABC FWCC Meeting Ottawa, Ontario June 7, 2007

2. WRC-07 is scheduled for 2007-10-22 to 2007-11-16 in Geneva. The final CPM report to WRC-07 is available on the ITU website. (http://www.itu.int/md/R07-CPM-R-0001/en) In order to allow enough time to translate in all six languages of the Union, administrations have until June 22, 2007 to submit proposals. After June 22, 2007, proposals can still be submitted; however, there is no guarantee that they will be translated. Through CITEL, Canada has already submitted several proposals that are now IAPs. For proposals that have not reach IAP status, Canada will submit a contribution directly to WRC-07. The next CITEL PCC II meeting, scheduled for July 30 to August 2, 2007 in Orlando, USA, will be the last opportunity for our proposals to reach IAP status. General Comments

3. AI 1.4: Spectrum for advanced mobile systems (IMT-2000 and beyond) At CITEL, Canada has put forward three proposals for WRC-07 Agenda Item 1.4 To adopt Method 1A To identify parts of 698 – 806 MHz for use by IMT systems Changes to RR to allow integrated MSS-and-terrestrial systems to operate in bands identified for use by the satellite component of IMT-2000 Method 1A Changes “IMT-2000” in old footnotes to “IMT” Proposes associated changes in Res. 224, 223, & 212 Identifies any new spectrum for use by “IMT”, which includes both IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced Identify parts of 698 – 806 MHz Includes adding primary Mobile allocation in 698 – 806 MHz, and Changes to footnote 5.317A and Resolution 224. Takes into account need to protect existing and future broadcast services, and Recognizes use of PPDR in some countries in bands 764 – 776 MHz and 794 – 806 MHz. Advanced Mobile Communications

6. AI 1.9: Use of the band 2 500-2 690 MHz by space services Band identified for IMT-2000 at WRC-2000 CITEL – IAPs (not supported by Canada) Remove MSS allocation in the bands 2500-2520 MHz and 2670-2690 MHz in Region 2 Modify pfd limits in table 21-4 to -136/-122 dB(W/m2) in 1 MHz and to delete coordination threshold value in table 5-2, Annex 1 of Appendix 5 Add a footnote to Table 21-4 of Article 21, grand-fathering space systems for which complete notification has been received before 17 November 2007 and whose channels have been put into use by 31 December 2008, to introduce a new Resolution with provisional application of certain provisions of the RR and to modify article 59 to include reference to the new resolution stating when the changes to RR will come into force CITEL – US proposal: Use of the band 2500-2520 MHz by MSS limited to national and regional systems Advanced Mobile Communications

7. Proposed PFD Limits for the 2500-2690 MHz Band

8. AI 1.2 Res. 746, Resolves 2: EESS and SRS in 10.6-10.68 GHz Canada currently licenses fixed systems in the band 10.6-10.68 GHz. In addition, Canadian manufacturers produce point-to-point and point-to-multipoint equipment for both the Canadian and foreign markets. There is also an interest from Environment Canada to use the data gathered by existing or planned missions such as AMSR, NPOESS and WINSAT. CITEL - Canadian proposal: Modify No. 5.482 with the new appropriate emission limits in accordance with Method B1 of the CPM Report on AI 1.2 European Common Proposal: Add a new Resolution [10.6 GHz] WRC-07 specifying the sharing criteria for the EESS (passive), FS and MS and their date of entry into force (TBD by WRC-07). Add a new footnote in Article 5 making the EESS (passive), the FS and the MS in the band 10.60-10.68 GHz subject to Resolution [10.6 GHz] WRC-07. EESS and SRS
