HIRF protection of aircraft from earth stations

SE40_32

To identify up to date aeronautical regulations defining the HIRF protection levels of aircraft that maintain aeronautical safety. To assist SE40 in its work on the revision of ECC Report 66.

To study consequently the implied modifications on existing ECC Decisions dealing with exemption of individual licensing for C-, Ku-, Ka-band satellite terminals. To assist administrations using the HIRF regulations and methodology established by airworthiness bodies for coordinated earth stations.

Develop a new ECC Recommendation on “Guidance and method of calculating HIRF level from high e.i.r.p. fixed Earth Station located outside of the wedge shaped area of an airport or helipad”

The new ECC Report 272 superseeding ECC Report 066 has been published. FM44 is subsequently studying the implications for revisons in existing ECC Decisions.

ECC Decision , ECC Report

Earth stations operating to NGSO systems in 10.7-12.75 GHz (space to Earth) and 14-14.5GHz (Earth to space) FSS allocation (for fixed and moving platforms)

SE40_28
SE40_35

Develop an ECC Decision on harmonized use, exemption from individual licensing of fixed earth stations with NGSO FSS satellite systems in 10.7-12.75 GHz (space to Earth) and 14-14.5 GHz (Earth to space).

Note that FM44 is still working on regulatory issues (new ECC Report) before deciding the way to proceed with in-motion earth stations operating with NGSO satellite systems in 10.7-12.75 GHz and 14-14.5 GHz.

S: 05-02-2016
T: 06-07-2018

Identify similarities and differences of existing GSO and NGSO ECC Decisions. Identify technical, regulatory and operational restrictions, define technical essential characteristics, define regulatory regime. Regulatory framework at ECC (ECC Decisions and ECC Reports) already exist in the 14.0-14.5 GHz and 27.5-30 GHz for equipment at fixed and moving platforms.

ECC Decision

Land based in-motion earth stations operating with GSO FSS systems in the 10.7-12.75 GHz (space to Earth) and 14-14.5 GHz (Earth to space) bands (“Ku band”)

SE40_33

Develop a new ECC Decision on 'The harmonized use of frequencies, exemption from individual licensing and free circulation of land-based in-motion earth stations, including vehicle-mounted earth stations and earth stations on trains, operating with GSO FSS systems in the 10.7-12.75 GHz (space to Earth) and 14-14.5 GHz (Earth to space) bands'

T: 05-07-2018

Land-based in-motion earth stations such as vehicle mounted earth stations or earth stations on trains are to be deployed within Europe as part of connected and autonomous vehicles and self-driving Vehicles, and also for broadband mobility applications. Such deployments will have to be subjected to certain technical and regulatory conditions, amongst other things, to maintain compatibility with other existing services.
Compatibility studies should be carried by the CEPT.

ECC Report

Assess the feasibility of M2M/IoT operation through satellite from a technical and regulatory point of view

Develop an ECC Report regarding the implementation of M2M/IoT operation via satellite including uplinks and downlinks to enhance terrestrial networks with satellite connectivity

S: 16-05-2017
T: 08-02-2019

Explore technical and frequency band opportunities for the introduction of M2M/IoT applications via satellite in order to extend terrestrial networks and create complementary services. The advantage of M2M/IoT via satellite is mainly to establish connectivity for areas having no or poor terrestrial coverage.

ECC Decision

Earth stations in-motion installed on aircraft operating with FSS systems in the 12.75 -13.25 GHz band (Earth to space)

SE40_27

Develop an ECC Decision on 'The harmonised use of frequencies, exemption from individual licensing and free circulation of earth stations in-motion installed on aircraft operating with GSO and NGSO FSS systems in the 12.75 -13.25 GHz band (Earth to space)

S: 14-05-2018
T: 05-07-2018

Regulatory measures to be developed for the protection of current and future FS deployment, such as setting a minimum altitude, taking into account the results of WGSE studies (see Doc: FM(18)055).The regulatory measures for maintaining compatibility with Appendix 30B to be developed and if necessary, corresponding technical issues should be identified. Regulatory studies will take into account aggregate effects from NGSO and GSO operations.
