Taking into account the results from Task 1 and the
outcome of the RSPG work concerning the long-term vision for the upper 6 GHz
band, as appropriate, to identify and assess the technical feasibility of
possible scenarios for the shared use (Note 1) of the 6425-7125 MHz
frequency band for both (i) terrestrial systems capable of providing WBB ECS
and (ii) WAS/RLANs. In this regard, seek to determine sharing solutions which:
- ensure
efficient spectrum use and proportionate technical impact on both systems,
subject to due assessment;
- provide
a greater overall benefit for the case of both systems sharing the upper 6 GHz
band, than the case, where each of them uses an exclusively allocated portion
of this band; the assessment should also consider any need for new technical
standards to implement the shared solution;
- ensure the protection of relevant (note 2)
incumbent users within and adjacent to the 6425-7125 MHz band and their future
evolution and development.
At least one preferred
shared-use scenario should be identified in the outcome of Task 2, which must
serve as the basis for performing Task 3.
If no preferred shared-use
scenario can be identified, the CEPT must propose a preferred alternative
scenario. This preferred alternative scenario must serve as the basis for
performing Task 3, for the usage of the band (or portions thereof), preferably by
both systems or by one of the two systems.
In determining any preferred scenario(s) under this
Task, the CEPT shall take due account of the RSPG Opinion on the upper 6 GHz
band (Note 3)
Note 1: The
notion of “shared use” for the purpose of this Mandate should at least include
the simultaneous use of the upper 6 GHz band, or portions thereof, by both
systems in the same geographical area.
Note 2: “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).
Note 3: Or the draft Opinion for public
consultation, as appropriate.
