Rev. ECC Recommendation
|
Review and revision,
as appropriate, of ECC Recommendation (11)05 on cross-border for Mobile/Fixed
Communications Networks (MFCN) in the frequency band 2500-2690
MHz
|
|
Review and revise, as
appropriate, ECC Recommendation (11)05 on “Cross-border Coordination for
Mobile/Fixed Communications Networks (MFCN) in the frequency band 2500-2690 MHz”
to consider introduction of 5G New Radio (NR) and the use of Active Antenna
Systems (AAS) and also review the existing guidelines
|
S: 08-03-2024
T: 30-10-2026
|
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.

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: 05-03-2027
|
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.

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.

Develop a harmonised frequency arrangement and the least restrictive harmonised technical conditions for full power WBB ECS/MFCN in the 6585-7125 MHz frequency band, taking into account the results of Tasks 1 and 2, and the preferred scenario(s) for the shared use of 6585-7125 MHz.
The harmonised technical conditions should, in particular, avoid interference, protect and, enable the future evolution and development of relevant incumbent users within the 6425-7125 MHz frequency band and in the adjacent bands, and facilitate cross-border frequency coordination.

- An accompanying ECC Report may be developed if deemed required.
- The work will be done in close cooperation with WG FM with respect to the non-prioritised WAS/RLAN in 6585-7125 MHz. Based on CEPT Report B and work item in ECC(26)026 Annex 22 (ie FM61_05), a text related to the use of non-prioritised WAS/RLAN in 6585-7125 MHz on a voluntary basis will be included.
- The requirement for implementation of cross-technology signalling is outside the scope of this work item.
- It is noted that the RSPG will have a final Opinion on the future of the 6425-6585 MHz, following the outcome of the WRC-27 as stated in the RSPG Opinion on the Upper 6GHz.
- ECC Reports 366 and 375 should be taken into account.
