FREQUENCY COORDINATION AND LICENSING PROCEDURES FOR APPARATUS LICENSED PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES IN

THE 3.5 GHz BAND

1 Introduction1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Radiocommunications Assignment and Licensing Instruction (RALI) is to provide information about, and describe necessary steps for the frequency coordination and licensing of apparatus licensed Public Telecommunication Services (PTS), specifically the Public Mobile Telecommunication Service Class B (PMTS Class B) option, in the 3.5 GHz band (3400-3425 MHz and 3492.5-3542.5 MHz).

The information in this document reflects the ACMA’s statement of current policy in relation to frequency coordination and apparatus licensing of PTS in the 3400-3425 MHz and 3492.5-3542.5 MHz frequency ranges. In making decisions, accredited frequency assigners and the ACMA’s officers should take all relevant factors into account and decide each case on its merits. Issues relating to this document that appear to fall outside the enunciated policy should be referred to the Manager, Spectrum Engineering Section, PO Box 78, Belconnen, ACT, 2616, or by e-mail to freqplan@acma.gov.au.

1.2 BackgroundAt the International Telecommunications Union World Radiocommunications Conference of 2007 a number of Administrations identified the 3400-3600 MHz band as suitable for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). Due to growing interest domestically for access to the band, the ACMA has developed arrangements for PTS apparatus licences to access the band. There are existing arrangements for point-to-multipoint services in the 3425-3442.5 MHz and 3475-3492.5 MHz frequency range in regional and remote Australia. There are also existing spectrum licence arrangements in place at various locations in the 3425-3492.5 MHz and 3542.5-3575 MHz frequency range.

On the 20th October 2014 the Minister for Communications directed the ACMA to make available 75 MHz of spectrum in the 3400-3425 MHz and 3492.5-3542.5 MHz frequency ranges for use by the NBN. This RALI has been developed to meet the requirements of the 20th October 2014 Ministerial Direction.

1.3 ScopeThe scope of the RALI extends to detailing the steps necessary for frequency coordination and licensing of proposed PTS systems in the 3400-3425 MHz and 3492.5-3542.5 MHz frequency ranges. Many of the arrangements in this RALI are similar to those developed for the 3.4 GHz spectrum licence technical framework. This is due to the expected similarity in use and frequency adjacency of licences.

The RALI provides instructions that may be used by ACMA assigners and Accredited Persons when assessing whether proposed new PTS systems will cause (or receive) unacceptable

RALI MS39 Month Year

interference to (or from) existing services in the band.

It is a requirement that coordination calculations should be performed to assess potential interference to and from the PTS systems. In some cases the effect of user terminals will need to be considered. Interference protection and requirements to protect other services are based upon the assumption that user terminal deployments conform to the deployment model described in Appendix A.

In the event that interference occurs after a licence is issued and the issue cannot be resolved between the affected parties, licensees can expect the ACMA to have regard to this RALI and relevant legislative instruments in dealing with the dispute.

2 Assignment Instructions2.1 Channel arrangementsIn the 3400-3425 MHz and 3492.5-3542.5 MHz frequency ranges, a 5 MHz raster is defined. This allows for 5, 10 or 20 MHz channels as described in Figure 1.

It should be noted that: a maximum 68 dBm/MHz EIRP density limit applies in all channels; channels 5, 6 and 15 of the 5 MHz channel plan (in green below) are not available for

use, they are to be used as guard bands between apparatus-licensed PTS systems and devices operating under adjacent band spectrum/apparatus licences.

2.2 Assignment RulesSite SenseNo site sense rules are needed as arrangements for PTS in the 3400-3425 MHz and 3492.5-3542.5 MHz frequency ranges are optimised and intended for single frequency deployments using time division duplex (TDD)(ie systems transmit and receive on the same frequency).

Emission LimitsTransmitters operated under a PTS licence are subject to:

the in-band emission limit defined in section 2.1; and the out-of-band and spurious emission limits defined in Annex A .

Channel Plan5, 10 and 20 MHz MHz channelling arrangements apply as defined in section 2.1.

Assignment PriorityLicensees should be assigned:

contiguous channels unless none are available; 5 MHz and 10 MHz channels from the lowest frequency up; 20 MHz channels from the highest frequency down.

The exception to this rule is when a licensee already holds spectrum in the band. In this instance the licensee should be preferentially assigned:

the same spectrum in the surrounding area; and spectrum directly adjacent to their current holdings in a given area.

These rules are aimed at improving spectral efficiency and maximising spectrum availability for other prospective licensees. Alternative ways of assigning spectrum can be considered on a case-by-case bases where it is deemed to improve the efficiency in use and allocation of spectrum.

Licence Area Definition and ChecksIn the 3400-3425 MHz and 3492.5-3542.5 MHz frequency ranges a licence cannot be issued if it would fall within the area defined at Attachment D.

The geographical area that contains the location of base stations operated under a PTS licence is defined by a sequence of HCIS identifiers1 in a special condition attached to the licence. The relevant HICS identifiers should be provided to the ACMA at the time of applying for a licence.

To prevent the fragmentation of geographical areas in highly populated locations, a licensee wishing to deploy in an area defined in Annex C must, as a minimum, take out a licence that encompasses all of the HCIS identifiers defined for that area in Annex C.

For other locations, areas should be defined using HCIS identifiers, in integer multiples (one or more) of HCIS level 2 identifiers.

1 The HCIS is described in the Australian Spectrum Map Grid 2012. The Australian Spectrum Map Grid 2012 is available on the ACMA website at: www.acma.gov.au. Copies are also available from the ACMA.

3 Frequency Coordination 3.1 Interference ScenariosThe Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan (ARSP) allocates the 3400-3600 MHz band to Fixed, Mobile and Radiolocation services on primary basis, as well as amateur and the fixed satellite services on a secondary basis.

Based on the service allocations in the ARSP and current use of the 3400-3600 MHz band, the following sections define the relevant coordination procedures to be followed. Table 1 below summarises the different interference scenarios that exist for PTS in the 3400-3600 MHz band. Specific coordination procedures have only been defined for those scenarios that require it.

Table 1: Summary of potential interference scenarios

3.2 User terminals, repeaters and femtocellsUser terminals are authorised to operate via the Radiocommunications (Cellular Mobile Telecommunications Devices) Class Licence 2002 (the mobile class licence). The mobile class licence only authorises the use of these stations when communicating with a station operating under a valid PTS licence.

Repeaters and femtocells (indoor only) are authorised to operate via the Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (PTS Licence) Determination 2013 (PTS LCD).

RALI MS39 Month Year

4

The mobile class licence and PTS LCD state that user terminals, repeaters and femtocells must not cause interference to another radiocommunications service and will not be afforded protection from interference from another radiocommunications service. In the event interference does occur, it is the responsibility of the licensee whose licence authorises the user terminal, repeater or femtocell to operate to resolve the issue.

3.3 PTSPTS Tx PTS Rx coordination When coordinating with a PTS receiver, the following procedure applies:

1. Area Cull: Identify any registered PTS receivers within 200 km of the proposed station’s location. A minimum co-channel separation distance of 30 km applies to PTS base stations operated by different licensees.

2. Frequency Cull: Coordination is only required with any PTS receiver identified in (1) that does not have a minimum 10 MHz channel frequency separation with the PTS transmitter. Where channel frequency separation is defined as the separation between the lower and upper frequencies of the occupied channels described in Figure 1, with respect to the 5 MHz channelling arrangements.

Note: Before being issued a licence, prospective licensees (or their accredited persons) are required to notify any licensees identified in step 1 that:

have a guard band greater than or equal to 10 MHz but less than 20 MHz with the proposed new service; and

fail the adjacent channel assessment in step 3;

This allows time for affected parties to negotiate with prospective licensees and implement any additional mitigation that may be required.

3. In order to manage interference, two separate scenarios need to be assessed.

a. Base stations: PTS receivers are afforded the protection described in the table below.

b.

Table 2: Protection criteria for PTS Base Stations

c. User Terminals: The 30 km co-channel separation distance is considered adequate to manage interference to and from user terminals in most cases.

RALI MS39 Month Year

5

However, in the event interference does occur, section 3.2 of this RALI applies.

3.4 Point-to-Point ReceiversWhen coordinating with point-to-point fixed service receivers, the following procedure applies:

1. Area Cull: Identify any registered fixed link receivers within 200 km of the proposed station’s location.

2. Frequency Cull: For the fixed link receivers identified in (1), coordination need only be considered for those services that have any portion of their licenced bandwidths within 100 MHz of the band edge of a proposed PTS service

3. In order to manage interference, two separate scenarios need to be assessed.

a. Base stations: Fixed link receivers are afforded the protection described in RALI FX3. In this case protection criteria is specified in the form of a protection ratio. In determining if the protection ratio is exceeded, the strength of wanted and unwanted signals should be calculated as described in RALI FX3.

b. User Terminals: If the proposed base station site is within 30 km of a fixed link receiver, more detailed coordination is required. Coordination is deemed to be successful if it can be shown that the coverage area of the PTS system does not overlap the interference zone of the fixed link receiver. The interference zone of a fixed link receiver is defined as those locations (or the area) around a fixed link receiver where a notional user terminal, with the characteristics defined in Appendix A, when deployed would exceed the protection criteria defined in RALI FX3.

3.5 Earth Station Receivers 3400-3600 MHz bandCoordination with Earth station receivers operating in the 3400-3600 MHz band is conducted using the same procedure as described for Earth stations operating in the 3600-4200 MHz band (see below). However, Earth station receivers operate on a secondary basis in the 3400-3600 MHz band. In the event coordination indicates that interference may occur, prospective PTS licensees should notify and make reasonable efforts to work with the affected Earth station licensees operating in the 3400-3600 MHz to enable coexistence. If there is no practical solution, services operated under a PTS licence have priority.

3600-4200 MHz bandWhen coordinating with Earth station receivers, the following procedure applies:

1. Area Cull: Identify any registered receivers within 200 km of the proposed station’s location.

2. Frequency Cull: For the receivers identified in (1), coordination is only required with those operating in the 3600-4200 MHz frequency range.

3. Earth station receivers are afforded the protection described in Table 3. Both long and short term time percentages and associated protection criteria should be assessed. For the purposes of assessing the potential for blocking, Earth stations can be assumed to

have RF filters with the characteristics described in Table 4.

Note: In the case of assessing interference into Earth Station receivers:

Assigners must use the propagation model defined in ITU-R Recommendation P.452.

In the event actual antenna radiation patterns are not available for an FSS Earth station, the antenna radiation pattern defined in ITU-R Recommendation S.465 can be assumed.

3.6 Adjacent Spectrum Licensed BandTo best ensure compatibility and equitable access to spectrum between services operating under a PTS licence and devices operating under a 3.4 GHz band spectrum licence0, the following applies:

5 MHz ‘guard bands’ are defined at all spectrum licence – apparatus licence frequency boundaries, as defined in section 2.1;

All devices operating under a PTS licence must comply with: o the in-band maximum radiated power limit defined in section 2.1; ando the out-of-band and spurious emission limits defined in Appendix B;

All stations operating under a PTS licence are subject to the same ‘co-sited devices’ condition as devices operated under a 3.4 GHz spectrum licence;

It is expected that PTS licensees and Spectrum licensees employ RF filtering and other techniques to manage interference when there is a 10 MHz or more frequency

0 When assessing interference from unwanted emissions, the highest level of out-of-band or spurious emissions that fall within the licensed bandwidth of the FSS Earth station receiver should be considered in calculations

0 Note: The relevant spectrum and geographical areas subject to spectrum licensing in the 3.4 GHz band are defined in embargo 26.

RALI MS39 Month Year

7

separation (i.e. guard band) between services.

The above criteria assists in managing interference in many circumstances. However, to ensure compatibility, the additional criteria specified below should also be applied.

PTS base station Tx Receiver operating under a spectrum licence

When coordinating with receivers registered under a 3.4 GHz band spectrum licence, the following procedure applies:

1. Area Cull: Identify any receivers within 50 km of the proposed station’s location.

2. Frequency Cull: For the receivers identified in (1), coordination is only required with those operating within ± 10 MHz from the upper or lower limit of the occupied bandwidth of the transmitter.

Note: Before being issued a licence, prospective licensees (or their accredited persons) are required to notify any licensees identified in step 1 that:

have a guard band greater than or equal to 10 MHz but less than 20 MHz with the proposed new service; and

fail the adjacent channel assessment in step 3;

This allows time for affected parties to negotiate with prospective licensees and implement any additional mitigation that may be required.

3. Receivers are afforded the protection defined by the compatibility requirement in the Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference to Receivers – 3.4 GHz Band) 2015, for PTS stations coordinated on or after 13 December 2015.

For the purposes of coordination, receivers should be assumed to have the characteristics of the ‘notional receiver’ as described in the Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference to Receivers – 3.4 GHz Band) 2015.

Transmitter operating under a spectrum licence PTS base station Rx

When coordinating transmitters registered under a 3.4 GHz band spectrum licence with PTS receivers, the same procedure defined previously for the reverse case applies. That is the PTS receiver is treated as if it is operating under a 3.4 GHz band spectrum licence.

3.7 Point-to-multipoint LicencesPoint-to-multipoint (PMP) licences are authorised to operate in the 3425-3442.5 MHz and 3475-3492.5 MHz frequency range in accordance with RALI FX14. Point-to-multipoint licences for both FDD and TDD systems have been granted.

It is noted that: All devices operating under a PTS licence must comply with:

o the in-band maximum radiated power limit defined in section 2.1; ando the out-of-band and spurious emission limits defined in Appendix B;

All devices operating under a point-to-multipoint licence (registered in accordance with RALI FX14) must comply with the emission limits defined at Annex A of RALI FX14.

It is expected that PTS and PMP apparatus licensees employ RF filtering and other

RALI MS39 Month Year

8

techniques to manage interference when there is a 10 MHz or more frequency separation (i.e. guard band) between services.

PTS Tx PMP Rx

When coordinating with Point-to-multipoint receivers, the following procedure applies:

1. Area Cull: Identify any receivers within 100 km of the proposed station’s location.

2. Frequency Cull: For the receivers identified in (1), coordination is only required with those operating within ± 10 MHz from the upper or lower limit of the necessary bandwidth of the transmitter.

Note: Before being issued a licence, prospective licensees (or their accredited persons) are required to notify any licensees identified in step 1 that:

have a guard band greater than or equal to 10 MHz but less than 20 MHz with the proposed new service; and

fail the adjacent channel assessment in step 3;

This allows time for affected parties to negotiate with prospective licensees and implement any additional mitigation that may be required.

3. In order to manage interference, two separate scenarios need to be assessed.

a. Base stations: Both PTS and PMP Base station receivers are afforded the protection defined below:

Table 5: Protection criteria for PTS Base Stations

Frequency Offset Base StationProtection Criteria0

< 5 MHz -55 dBm/5 MHz≥ 5 MHz -43 dBm/5 MHz

b. User Terminals: If the proposed base station site is within 15 km of the existing licensed receiver, more detailed coordination is required. Coordination is deemed to be successful if the coverage area of the proposed service does not encompass the location specified for the PMP base station receiver.

PMP Tx PTS Rx

When coordinating PMP transmitters with PTS receivers, the same procedure and protection criteria defined for PTS Tx PMP Rx applies.

3.8 Coordination required with specific regional/remote areasMid-West Radio Quiet Zone

The ACMA established the Australia Radio Quiet Zone Western Australia (ARQZWA) on 11 April 2005. The ARQZWA aims to maintain the current “radio-quietness” of a site in remote Western 0 Logarithmic scaling should be used to find the appropriate level for different bandwidths.

Australia (near Boolardy Station, around 200 km West of Meekatharra) centred at latitude 26˚42’15” South and longitude 116˚39’32” East (GDA94). The area has very low levels of radiofrequency energy because of its low population and lack of industrial development. The ARQZWA is intended to facilitate the development and use of new radio astronomy technologies at that location, this includes the development and operation of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA).

Radiocommunications Assignment and Licensing Instruction, RALI MS32, details the coordination requirements for Apparatus Licences within the ARQZWA. Proposed PTS assignments must conform to the requirements of RALI MS32.

Darwin and Geraldton Coordination Zones

Requests for assignments within 150 km of latitude 12˚26’59” South and longitude 130˚50’0” East (GDA94 Datum) in Darwin (NT) and latitude 28˚45’59” South and longitude 114˚37’0” East (GDA94 Datum) in Geraldton (WA), are to be referred to the Manager, Spectrum Engineering Section for preliminary coordination consultation0. The relevant contact details are defined in section 1.1.

3.9 Amateur ServicesThe Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Amateur Licence) Determination No. 1 of 1997 allows the Advanced Amateur licensees to operate in various portions of the 3400-3600 MHz band in defined geographical areas. The Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan sets a secondary status for all Amateur services in the 3400-3600 MHz band. This status means that incumbent amateur services must not cause interference to a primary service and cannot claim protection from interference from a primary service.

Coordination of Amateur Beacon or Repeater licence with PTS receivers operating in the 3400-3600 MHz band is conducted using the same procedure as described in section 3.3. In the event coordination indicates that interference may occur to a PTS receiver, it is recommended that the prospective PTS licensees notify and make reasonable efforts to work with the affected amateur licensees operating to enable coexistence and prevent harmful interference from occurring. However, in the event there is no practical solution, services operated under a PTS licence have priority.

3.10 Radiodetermination ServicesRadiodetermination services are authorised to operate in the 3300-3400 MHz and 3400-3600 MHz frequency ranges.

Wanted or unwanted emissions in the 3400-3600 MHz frequency range from a radiocommunications transmitter operating under a radiodetermination apparatus licence, should not exceed a level of -115 dBm/MHz for more than 20% of the time at the input of the receiver unit of a PTS apparatus licence. When making assessments of the potential for interference ppropagation loss should be calculated using Recommendation ITU-R P.452.

Radiodetermination licensees may negotiate with affected PTS licensees to exceed these limits where necessary.

3.11 Site Engineering AspectsAt shared sites, or sites in close proximity, a number of potential interference mechanisms other than co-channel or adjacent channel interference may occur. These include: intermodulation; transient and spurious emissions; receiver desensitisation; and, physical blocking. These mechanisms are caused by non-linear and often complex processes that are, usually, not readily predicted using information contained in the ACMA’s RRL. Nevertheless, a number of “site engineering” methods can be applied to address these potential interference scenarios. These include, but are not limited to, RF filtering, site shielding, frequency separation, site locations and power reduction.

Most of the above mentioned methods require co-operation and co-ordination between licensees. This is most easily achieved where the two systems are owned by the same licensee. In reality however, neighbouring systems are seldom owned by the same licensee, and therefore formal discussions may be required.

In the case of co-siting with spectrum licensed devices, if the interference from the spectrum licensed device is not the result of operation of the radiocommunications device in a manner that does not comply with the respective conditions of the licence, then licensees must take reasonable steps to negotiate arrangements likely to reduce the interference to acceptable levels. To assist in such situations, operators are also referred to the relevant Radiocommunications Advisory Guideline (specified on the spectrum licence) which specifies a minimum spectrum licence notional receiver performance.

It is expected that licensees (or their site managers) will work cooperatively and apply good site engineering practice to resolve problems if and when they occur. A similar requirement is placed on all spectrum licences issued in the 3.4 GHz band.

4 Licensing4.1 Overview of LicensingThis RALI defines the licensing and assignment rules for the issue of PTS apparatus licences, using the Public Mobile Telecommunications Service Class B (PMTS Class B) licensing option.

The operation of radiocommunications equipment authorised by a PTS licence are subject to:

conditions specified in the Radiocommunications Act 1992 (the Act), including an obligation to comply with the Act;

conditions specified in the Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Apparatus Licence) Determination 2003 and any other determinations made by the ACMA under section 107(1)(f) of the Act;

the Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (PTS Licence ) Determination 2013, this includes conditions that allow the use of low-powered indoor devices (such as femto cells) under the following conditions:

RALI MS39 Month Year

11

has an indoor fixed antenna and a radiated true mean power less than or equal to 24 dBm EIRP/occupied bandwidth;

is within a 15 kilometre radius of the location specified for the spectrum access; and

uses the receive or transmit frequencies and the emission designator specified for the spectrum access.

conditions specified in the licence; and

any further conditions imposed by the ACMA under section 111 of the Act.

Devices used by consumers to communicate with the land stations would be authorised by the Radiocommunications (Cellular Mobile Telecommunications Devices) Class Licence 2002.

4.2 Special ConditionsConditions of operation which apply to an individual licence, will be printed on the licence under the heading ‘Special Conditions’. Generally the application of special conditions by the ACMA will only be considered on a case-by-case basis as required.

The area covered by the PTS licence that is subject to annual transmitter licence tax is to be defined by HCIS identifiers in a special condition attached to the licence. These should be provided to the ACMA at the time of applying for a licence.

4.3 Spectrum Access RecordsTechnical details relating to the PTS system's base station, including, but not limited to, the actual operating EIRP, location, antenna height, type and orientation and transmit/receive frequency band, should be provided at the time of registration for recording on the Register of Radiocommunications Licences.

Notes: Where sectored antennas are used, details of the antenna model, down-tilt, polarisation

and azimuth should be recorded for each sector. However, where: o there are multiple sectored antennas on a single site (used for example to

achieve 360 degree coverage); ando all sectors are using the same frequency;

it is not necessary to specify the azimuth of each sector antenna. Instead, the site can be recorded as a single registration (i.e. effectively registering the device as non-directional). When performing coordination, the highest radiated power on any one sector should be assumed in all directions – irrespective of the actual antenna configuration. The details of the antenna on the sector that results in the highest radiated power should be recorded on the RRL.

Where steerable beam (including beam forming) antennas are used, details of the highest gain achievable through antenna phasing should be recorded.

Annex B Out-of-band and Spurious Emission Levels

B1. Stations registered on the Register of Radiocommunications LicencesStations registered on the Register of Radiocommunications Licences (i.e. PTS base stations) are required to comply with the out-of-band and spurious emission limits set out in this section. These emission limits are based on the same emission limits implemented in the 3.4 GHz spectrum licence technical framework.

Out-of-band emission limits

The out-of-band emission limits in Table 7 apply:

(a) at frequencies outside the upper or lower frequency limits specified on the licence; and

(b) offset from the upper or lower frequency limits specified on the licence;

where:

foffset: is the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limits specified on the licence. The closest -3dB point of the specified bandwidth to the band edge is placed at foffset.

Spurious emission limitsPTS licensee must ensure that radiocommunications devices operated under this licence do not exceed the transmitter and receiver spurious emission limits defined in of this section.

For radiocommunications transmitters operated under this licence, the spurious emission limits in Table 8 apply at frequencies outside the 3390-3610 MHz frequency band.

B2. User terminals and FemtocellsFixed and mobile stations (i.e. user terminals and femtocells) authorised to operate under a PTS licence are required to comply with the out-of-band and spurious emission limits set out in this section. These emission limits are based on the same emission limits implemented in the 3.4 GHz spectrum licence technical framework.

Out-of-band emission limits

The out-of-band emission limits in Table 10 apply:

(a) at frequencies outside the upper or lower frequency limits specified on the licence; and

(b) offset from the upper or lower frequency limits specified on the licence;

where:

foffset: is the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limits specified on the licence. The closest -3dB point of the specified bandwidth to the band edge is placed at foffset.

Annex C Highly Populated Area Definitions

“Highly populated areas” refers to the following cities:> Adelaide;> Albury;> Bendigo and Ballarat;> Brisbane and Gold Coast-Tweed;> Cairns;> Canberra-Queanbeyan;> Hobart; > Launceston;> Melbourne and Geelong;> Perth;> Rockhampton;> Sydney, Newcastle-Maitland and Wollongong;> Toowoomba;> Townsville;

The “highly populated areas” corresponding to these cities are defined by the vertices in the following tables. The areas are bounded by a notional line starting at the intersection of the first map grid coordinate pair listed in a table and passing sequentially through the intersection of each subsequent coordinate pair in that table to the point where the line started (where a line follows either a line of latitude or longitude respectively when mapping in AGD 66)0. HCIS identifiers are also included.

KML placemark files of these areas are available from the ACMA website, please note that in this KML the relevant areas match those defined for the 3425-3442.5 MHz band.
