1) To develop an ECC Decision to designate the frequency bands for GALILEO in CEPT.

2) To develop an ECC Decision on technical conditions to achieve coexistence between amateur service/ amateur-satellite service and the radionavigation-satellite receivers in the frequency band 1 240-1 300 MHz

Frequency bands subject for designation according to item 1): 1164-1215 MHz, 1260-1300 MHz,1559-1610 MHz.

WG SE (SE40) will perform detailed studies of the various amateur service scenarios versus the radionavigation-satellite service in the frequency range 1 240-1 300 MHz.

Some modifications of the ERC Decisions (99)05 and(99)06 are needed to align the process with current ECC rules of procedure.

The ERC Decisions (99)05 and (99)06 will be revised with the following items:

-        Possible merge ECTRA/DEC/(99)02, ERC/DEC/(99)05 and ERC/DEC/(99)06 Decisions;

-        Consider umbrella application term “MSS earth stations” (layer 2 term in Annex 2 of ECC Decision (01)03) in addition to S-PCS;

-        Possibility of streamlining or speed up the processes in the ERC Decision (99)06, including possibility of merging related decisions;

-        Study the possible conflicts and duplications with the ITU process;

-        Review enforcement of the constraints for operators;

-        Means of compliance with milestone 7;

-        Reconsider need for intra-MSS study results as a requirement for inclusion in Annex 2.Technical parameters should define reliable spectrum access in a shared spectrum environment used by several MSS operators;

-        The procedure(ex: need for public consultation) and number of supporting administrations for a new entry or modification of the Annexes;

-        Clarify in annexes the constraints and add comments columns for factual information;

-        Update the main body of the Decision and remove obsolete references;

-        Reference to RED;

-        Consider the need for provisions in the Decision for future instances where multiple new candidate entrants are under consideration;

-        Conditions to delete one system from the Annex 2 of ERC Decision (99)06;

-        Role and list of supporting CEPT administrations to be added in Annex 1 and Annex 2;

-        Link with the notifying administration of the system candidate;

-        What are the national obligations on systems not fulfilling operational conditions that are based on requirement for protection from a limited number of countries.

Define the spectrum occupancy and scenarios related to market demand for such terminals considering a licence exempt regime (unknown location, no individual coordination)

This WI is related to satellite terminals with limited e.i.r.p., antenna with low directivity and that are not under the control of a satellite system.

Develop an ECC Recommendation on the process of authorising earth stations in order to implement the ITU-R Recommendations ITU-R SA.2155 and ITU-R SA.2156 in CEPT countries

To develop an understanding of direct-to-cell satellite connectivity (technical description of the satellite component and how it works) and to explore relevant regulatory and national licencing issues. These cellular devices are unmodified smartphones (including 3GPP NTN in MSS bands and/or connectivity in MFCN bands).

There will be a focus on satellite-to-cellular device systems operating in frequency bands without satellite allocations (i.e. MFCN bands).

In close cooperation with PT1, NaN and WG SE

Explore the European regulatory framework for SRD communicating with satellites in the band 862-870 MHz and whether this fits within current SRD regulations, while recognising that SRD-to-satellite transmissions are already possible under current ERC/REC 70-03.

The following items will be included in the analysis:

- Overview of interested satellite operators and operational concepts including projects timelines

- Separate analysis of SRD-to-satellite and satellite-to-SRD links

- Analysis of satellite applications notified under RR Art. 4.4 and their additional impact on SRD

- Identification of any regulatory text that needs revision / update to reflect SRD-satellite systems

In close cooperation with SRD/MG

LoRa Alliance contribution to FM44#73 FM44(23)008

LoRa Alliance contribution to SRD/MG#88 SRDMG(23)037

The work will be done in close cooperation with FM22 and FM58 with respect to GNSS receivers on-board vessels.

FM22 will address the illegal civil GNSS jammers in a dedicated work item.
