HIS: Reconfigurable Radio Systems (TIA) Contributions: 07 (ETSI), 20 (CCSA), 21 (TIA) Summary Expanded activity in China and Europe Limited progress elsewhere Resolution Reaffirm

HIS: Mobile Multimedia Broadcast & Multicast (TIA) Contributions: 02, 23 (TIA), 03r1 (ARIB), 05 (TTA), 08 (ETSI), 13 (IEEE SA) Summary TIA-Progress made on DVB and FLO standards IEEE-Progress made on mobile video and 3D human factor standards ETSI-Progress made on JTC broadcast on digital radio, mobile TV and 3GPP activities on MBMS TTA-Progress made on T-DMB video service and standards for DMB filecasting ARIB-Progress made on digital TV switchover and mobile multimedia broadcasting standards Resolution Reaffirm

Task Force Reports: IMT Contribution: 04r3 (ARIB) Summary Since GSC-15, Task Force has remained active by correspondence Task Force will continue with the principal aim of exchanging information and views with goal of approval of the Draft New Recommendation ITU-R M.[IMT.RSPEC] and encouraging adoption of a new agenda item on IMT spectrum issues for WRC-15 at the WRC-12 Conference Task Force encourages PSOs to review their national/regional activities and to report progress to the Task Force and at the next GRSC meeting Resolution Revision prepared of plenary Resolution GSC-15/01

Task Force Reports: Radio Microphones Contribution: 09, 10 (ETSI), 15, 18 (ISACC) 09a1, 09a2, 09a3 (ETSI for info) Summary Radio Microphones (RM) have been confronted with the issues raised within Europe by the reallocation of 790-862 MHz band, previously part of the television spectrum 470-862 MHz band, to Mobile Fixed Communication Networks (MFCN). Within Europe the 863-865 MHz band is used by radio microphones and a range of cordless audio devices; these will also be badly impacted. An ETSI Specialist Task Force is investigating Cognitive-PMSE (Program Making and Special Events), and a public funded research project was initiated to transfer the results of the ETSI STF into a working demonstrator. a review of receiver characteristics and immunity is taking place. ETSI EN 300 422 has been revised in 2011 due to developments in Assistive Listening Devices (ALD). Resolution Revise

Task Force Reports: EAS Contribution: 23, (Task Force), 24 (ETSI) Summary Described the main components of an EAS system Shoplifting growing social worldwide problem, customer theft is approx. 0.55 % (US $ 43 billion) of total sales, therefore a need for more EAS frequency harmonization Presented field strength regulations for EAS frequencies and the ITU RR in the 3 ITU Regions & the Draft New Recommendation ITU-R SM. [SRD] “Frequency ranges for global and regional harmonization of short range devices (SRDs)” Proposed to hold a first face-to-face meeting in Shanghai in the year 2012 and further investigate the issue of potential interference between EAS tagging systems and existing safety & distress systems through a measurement campaign.
