Galileo - Frequency Regulatory Support

• It's not sexy, it's not glamorous• It's all about the Radio Regulations

• The Radio Regulations are a UN treaty fundamental to all radio use worldwide• What frequency, when, where, how and who

• Radio waves are crucial to Galileo's operation• Therefore the Radio Regulations are key!

WRC-11

• Preparations for WRC-11• National, CEPT and ITU-R level meetings• Presence / influence in other ITU Regions • Attendance at WRC-11

• Includes detailed radio compatibility studies for RNSS issues

• Representation, advocation and reporting

6

Filings and Coordination

• Monitor the ITU BR-IFIC- Fortnightly distribution of new/modified filings

• Flag potential conflicts with Galileo freqs• Analyse impacts in detail• Advise and support the ITU Coordination process

for Galileo with other systems• Includes 'Res609' meetings between RNSS systems

(maybe Res610 too)

Non-WRC issues

• At ITU-R- help develop RNSS recommendations- follow other ITU-R issues that may impact Galileo

• At CEPT- follow and contribute to RNSS issues such as GNSS

repeaters, pseudolites and CGC

Standardisation

• Support for Galileo related work at ETSI

• Development of a generic GNSS/Galileo receiver standard

• Review relevant existing standards to gauge potential interference threats

Specific Technical Projects

• Specific projects (tbd) to provide evidence supporting Galileo positions- Eg radar interference measurements - study on receiver interference tolerance

• Contractors could sub-contract specific expertise if required

• Flexible implementation on an 'as required' basis

Summary

• Contract to provide radio regulatory support for Galileo until end 2011

• Primary focus on WRC-11 and objectives• Continuous work on satellite filings and

coordination if required• Standardisation tasks to ease and promote

Galileo's introduction • Can include specific technical projects (tbd) to

support Galileo positions
