2. Fostering worldwide interoperability 2 Geneva, 13-16 July 2009 WRC-[12] WRC-[12] ([23 Jan.-17 Feb. 2012]) -33 agenda items, -almost all services (terrestrial: RLS, AM(R)S, passive services, FS, BS, MS, Maritime MS, Amat.S, space: AMS(R)S, SRS, BSS, MSS, MetAids, RDSS, MetSat) and other issues (Res.951, SRDs, Cognitive Radio) -and many applications and systems : UAS, ENG, HAPS, oceanographic radar, … CPM (Conference Preparatory Meeting) – 14-25 February 2011

3. Fostering worldwide interoperability 3 Geneva, 13-16 July 2009 Some principal themes of WRC-[12] (1) Safety aeronautical communications by satellite for safety and regularity of flights in civil air transportation aeronautical spectrum requirements (terrestrial) for safety-critical data links and new applications in air traffic management digital technologies for improved maritime safety communications ship and cargo i.d., tracking, surveillance, port security use of amateur service as emergency communications back-up radars and passive sensors for monitoring weather and environment “Classic” radiocommunication services spectrum opportunities for new applications arising from “digital dividend” satellite component of IMT (and spectrum for MSS in general) high-speed data fixed wireless applications above 70 GHz HAPS gateways Electronic News Gathering (ENG)

4. Fostering worldwide interoperability 4 Geneva, 13-16 July 2009 Some principal themes of WRC-[12] (2) Regulatory issues Software-defined and Cognitive Radios Definitions – no need in RR Operate within existing services under related RR Information required on device location and characteristics within a network through link to database or by cognitive supporting pilot channel studies on need for regulatory measures to protect certain existing services Short-Range Devices (SRDs) identify SRD emissions inside and outside ISM bands ensure adequate protection to all radiocom services emission masks; exclusion bands; harmonized bands International Spectrum Regulatory Framework convergence of certain radio technologies four candidate options – current practice; review service def’s; service substitution; composite services
