  1. Activities of theRadiocommunication Sector Michel R. Giroux

  2. Introduction • World Radiocommunication Conferences • Radiocommunication Assemblies • Radio Regulations Board • Radiocommunication Advisory Group • Space services • Terrestrial services • Study Groups activities • Publications • Seminars and Information meetings • Cooperation with the other Sectors

  3. Mission “To ensure rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services -- including those using the geostationary satellite orbit or other satellite orbits -- and to carry out studies and adopt Recommendations on radiocommunication matters”

  4. World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRC) • Held every two to three years • Update the Radio Regulations • Spectrum Allocation • Notification procedures • Administrative and Operational Procedures • Adopt Resolutions

  5. WRC-03 • Long agenda (Resolution 1156, Council 2000) • CPM preparations - Study groups and Special Committee • Regional preparations APT, Arab states, ATU, CEPT, CITEL, RCC • Information/preparatory meetings • BR support

  6. WRC-03 • HFBC • Global/Regional harmonization of bands • Allocation issues • Regulatory issues • Amateur – amateur satellite • Maritime • HDSS, HAPS, Interactive wide band multimedia, IMT-2000

  7. Radiocommunication Assemblies • Held in conjunction with a WRC • Approve ITU-R Recommendations • Adopt a work program for the ITU-R Study Groups • Adopt work procedures

  8. Radio Regulations Board (RRB) • 12 Part-time Members • Four meetings/year in Geneva • Adopts Rules of Procedure to facilitate the application of the Radio Regulations • May deal with cases of harmful interference

  9. Radiocommunication Advisory Group (RAG) • Provides advice to the Director • Meets once a year • Operational Plan • Reform process

  10. Terrestrial Services • Regulatory and Technical Functions • Broadcasting • Fixed • Aeronautical & Maritime Mobile • Other services e.g. Meteorology, Amateur, Research, Astronomy, ISM, etc. • Up to 50,000 notices/year • TerRaSys

  11. Terrestrial Services • Terrestrial Plans • AP25, AP26, AP27, ST61, GE75, RJ81, GE84, GE85M, GE85N, RJ88, GE89 • 4500 cases/year • HF Broadcasting (Art. 12)

  12. Terrestrial Services • Administrative and Operational Procedures • International means of identification • Call sign series • Maritime identification digits • Blocks of selective call sign numbers • Service Documents • Ship stations, coast stations, radio determination, call signs, MARS, etc.

  13. Terrestrial Services • MARS • Ship Stations database and Maritime Access and Retrieval System for use by Search and Rescue operations • Monitoring programs

  14. Space Services • Regulatory and Technical Procedures • Advance publication (API) • Request for coordination • Notification • Space Plans • Major objective • Process these notices within the time limits specified in the Radio Regulations

  15. Space Services • Current situation • Some 18 coordination requests / month • Unacceptable backlog (more than 500 networks i.e. approx. 1.8 years) • Few measures adopted by WRC-2000 or other meetings • Improvements in recent months owing to software automation and additional staff
