To assess the technical feasibility of a new microwave transport network PMP system based on active antennas, beamforming and interference cancellation techniques.

To evaluate coordination as well as aspects of planning with existing FS including suitable frequency bands / approaches for these new PMP systems in the bands already allocated to the FS above 27.5 GHz.

The rationale for this newsystem is to fulfil specific 5G transport network requirements allowing an improved spectral efficiency in terms of much higher frequency reuse.

As the 26 GHz band is the pioneer band for 5G in the CEPT countries, it will not be under consideration for this WI.

No mobile users will be consideredunder this WI.
