ECC Report Feasibility and sharing studies on the potential shared use of the 6425-7125 MHz frequency band between MFCN and Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Networks (WAS/RLAN). SE45_04
PT1_59
Study possible technical conditions for the potential shared use of the band 6425-7125 MHz between MFCN and Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Networks (WAS/RLAN). This would include investigation on sharing mechanisms/rules, and a range of sharing scenarios based on various deployment assumptions.

Close collaboration is needed between ECC PT1 and WG SE / PT SE45. ECC PT1 should provide MFCN parameters (a range of parameters, including macro Base Stations aligned with characteristics used in the WRC-23 studies) and WG SE / PT SE 45 should provide suitable RLAN parameters (ref. work item SE45_04).

This study is focusing on shared use of the 6425-7125 MHz frequency band between MFCN and RLAN. This work item does not include studies on coexistence with other services (such as FS and FSS) which is studied under other work items in CEPT (ref. work item SE45_04 and PT1 work under AI 1.2 of WRC-23), the results of which should be taken into account as appropriate.

Possible further work related to the protection of incumbents would be further assessed, if necessary, at a later stage.

The work under this work item here should not be considered as a decision on the future use of 6425-7125 MHz frequency band.

Rev. ECC Recommendation Review and revision, as appropriate, of ECC Recommendation (08)02 on cross-border coordination for Mobile/Fixed Communications Networks (MFCN) in the frequency bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz
Review and revise, as appropriate, ECC Recommendation (08)02 on “Cross-border coordination for Mobile/Fixed Communications Networks (MFCN) in the frequency bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz excluding GSM vs. GSM systems” to consider introduction of 5G New Radio (NR) and the use of Active Antenna Systems (AAS) (as applicable) and also review the existing guidelines

The use of Active Antenna Systems implies the need to provide associate field strength trigger values. In addition to that, the recommendation has to be updated to cover the deployment of NR in border areas and evaluate the need to review the existing thresholds.

ECC Recommendation , ECC Report To address issues due to usage of aerial UE in border areas
Guidance on the use of aerial UE in border areas operating in the bands 703-733 MHz, 832-862 MHz, 880-915 MHz, 1710-1785 MHz, 1920-1980 MHz, 2500- 2570 MHz and 2570-2620 MHz
S: 08-03-2024
T: 02-11-2026

The following issued could be addressed:

     aerial UE usage at the border with and without roaming agreements,

     issues related to “no transmit zone” area in the border areas,

     possible solutions to avoid harmful interferences due the usage of aerial UE at the border.

The approach of a toolbox for administration can be considered as appropriate.

ECC Report Study and assessment of coexistence and compatibility of MFCN in upper 6 GHz band with incumbent spectrum users (supporting Task1 of the EC Mandate) PT1_58
To study and assess compatibility and coexistence scenarios for MFCN with identified relevant (e.g. FSS, FS, EESS (passive), RAS) existing usages in the 6425-7125 MHz frequency band and relevant (e.g. FSS, FS and WAS/RLAN below 6425 MHz) existing usages in adjacent band(s) and their potential evolution. 
For each compatibility/coexistence scenario, the risk of interference, the deployment assumptions of relevant applications and any consequential restrictions in deployment of the MFCN should be identified.  
This Work Item 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.

CEPT Report 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) PT1_57
SE45_04
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.

CEPT Report EC Mandate on 6425-7125 MHz - Task 2 PT1_50
SE45_04
PT1_57
PT1_58
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.
