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.

To assess compatibility and coexistence of AAS BSs with other systems and services in the 700 MHz and 800 MHz frequency bands as well as in adjacent frequency bands and develop proposals for technical conditions for AAS BSs in 700 MHz and 800 MHz frequency bands. As part of the work the characteristics of MFCN BSs has to be defined.

To review harmonised technical and regulatory conditions for the use of the 700 MHz and 800 MHz frequency bands for suitability for Active Antenna Systems (AAS) while maintaining the current regulatory status of these bands.

Harmonised technical conditions for WBB ECS/MFCN in the upper 6 GHz band (Task 3 of the EC Mandate)

PT1_57
PT1_59
FM61_05
PT1_67
FM61_07

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.

S: 06-03-2026
T: 25-06-2027

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.
