ETSI Deliverable
Subject Study and assessment of coexistence and compatibility of: (i) terrestrial systems capable of providing WBB ECS with incumbent spectrum users and (ii) WAS/RLANs with incumbent spectrum users (Task 1 of the EC Mandate)
Related WI PT1_57
SE45_04
Scope
To study and assess compatibility and coexistence scenarios both for (i) terrestrial systems capable of providing WBB ECS and (ii) WAS/RLANs, with identified existing usages (e.g. FSS, FS, EESS (passive), RAS) in the 6425-7125 MHz frequency band and existing usages (e.g. FSS, FS and WAS/RLAN below 6425 MHz) in adjacent band(s) and their potential evolution, and identify coexistence parameters and conditions to be implemented in the regulatory framework in order to enable such possible coexistence, without constraining relevant (Note 1)  incumbent users in various Member States within and adjacent to the 6425-7125 MHz band, including at the EU’s external border.
-----------------------------
Note 1: "Relevant” denotes incumbent services/applications with long-term usage perspective and coexistence requirements, in line with the international and EU-level regulatory framework (e.g. FSS, FS, EESS (passive), RAS).
-----------------------------

For each compatibility/coexistence scenario, the risk of interference, the deployment assumptions of relevant applications, the geographical extent of usage and any consequential restrictions in deployment of those two systems should be identified as well as requirements for implementing such scenarios, for instance in terms of harmonised least restrictive technical conditions or in terms of other regulatory and operational aspects which support the implementation of a coexistence framework.
This task should also consider available conclusions for coexistence with incumbent radiocommunication services, such as the outcomes of the WRC-23 and technical studies performed by the CEPT and the ITU-R.
