APPENDIX D
WRC-07 Agenda Item 1.5
Agenda Item Title:
To consider spectrum requirements and possible additional spectrum allocations for aeronautical telecommand and high-bit rate aeronautical telemetry, in accordance with Resolution 230 (WRC-03)
Discussion:
Non-Safety Related Aeronautical Telecommand and Telemetry
The development of modern aircraft requires a large test flight program. These programs are required to gather a large amount of data on the performance of the airframe under test. By providing a real-time link between the aircraft and the ground control centre, the amount of testing and the number of flights can be kept to a minimum. This will result in faster development programs and hence achieve a significant cost saving. This agenda item seeks to make provision for the required air-ground telemetry links.
The development of telemetry links however must not adversely affect existing and planned aeronautical systems. Aeronautical telemetry, not being a safety service, can operate with allocations to the mobile or the aeronautical mobile services, either on a primary or secondary status. Aeronautical telemetry includes telemetry and associated telecommand assisting flight-testing of aircraft as well as any non-safety related telemetry and telecommand applications for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
ICAO studies have demonstrated that the band 5030-5091 MHz is required for MLS. In addition, since not all requirements for MLS can be met in this band, part of the band 5091-5150 MHz may also be required for MLS in some geographic areas. In addition, as further clarified under the ICAO position for WRC-07 agenda item 1.6, the band 5091-5150 MHz is also required for the aeronautical mobile (R) service, for safety of life communications.
Studies in ICAO have further shown that an aggregate interference level not exceeding minus 130 dBm in a 150 kHz reference bandwidth will secure protection of MLS. This will result in very large separation distance with aeronautical mobile telemetry, making co-frequency sharing in the same geographical area not practicable. Of paramount importance to secure MLS operations is that no modification should be made to provisions Nos. 5.444 or 5.444A of the Radio Regulations, which provide priority access for MLS to the band 5030-5150 MHz. As a result of these studies, provisions for aeronautical telemetry can only be supported by ICAO if protection of MLS and priority access to AM(R)S is secured in the Radio Regulations.
ICAO Position:
To support the allocation of suitable spectrum for non-safety related aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand systems and applications, including those for UAVs, in the bands between 3 – 30 GHz, in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 230 (WRC-03). These allocations, to be made to the mobile or aeronautical mobile service, should, in principle, not be made in bands currently allocated to the aeronautical mobile (R) service (AM(R)S), the aeronautical radionavigation service (ARNS) or their satellite equivalents. If allocations are made to such bands, and in particular in the frequency band 5091-5150 MHz, regulatory priority shall be given to those aeronautical safety services.
To oppose any change in allocation to the band 5030-5091 MHz.
To support the continued use and protection of frequency bands currently used for aeronautical telemetry applications.
APPENDIX E
WRC-07 Agenda Item 1.6
Agenda Item Title:
To consider allocations for the aeronautical mobile (R) service in parts of the bands between 108 MHz to 6 GHz, in accordance with Resolution 414 (WRC-03) and to study current satellite frequency allocations that will support the modernization of civil aviation telecommunication systems, taking into account Resolution 415 (WRC-03)
Discussion:
Resolution 414 – Consideration of the frequency range between 108 MHz and 6 GHz for new aeronautical applications
In some regions, in particular in portions of Region 1 (Europe) and Region 2 (North America), the aeronautical VHF communications band 117.975 - 137 MHz is heavily congested. Assignable VHF spectrum for line-of-sight communications to support safety and regularity of flight has become increasingly limited, and in some cases non-existent, even after introduction of more spectrum efficient techniques.
In addition, new applications are foreseen to be globally implemented and mainly making use of data communication systems. These are needed to accommodate expected air traffic growth and to support various new ATM, as well as aviation security requirements. In particular, aviation has identified the need for introducing aeronautical safety systems including those that would:
-
overcome limitations of conventional systems and allow ATM to further develop on a global scale;
-
allow for the introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in air traffic services airspace;
-
provide increased information exchange between aircraft and ground systems as well as between aircraft (e.g. ATC centers, aircraft operating agencies, etc); and
-
reduce runway incursions through the use of high integrity, wireless local area networks combined with connected grids of distributed sensors.
For aviation, these new applications support air navigation functions (i.e. either communication, navigation or surveillance or a combination of these) through the transmission or exchange of data. However, within the terms of the ITU definitions, they require to operate under an allocation to the AM(R)S, thus requiring additional allocations to be made in the relevant bands between 108 MHz to 6 GHz.
The combination of VHF band spectrum congestion, growing air traffic and evolving aeronautical applications drive an urgent need for new AM(R)S allocations. .
Furthermore, an increased use of short-range communication links on or around airports is expected to be required to support the transfer of safety critical information generated by systems such as air traffic control radar, wind-shear radar, remote control systems, automated weather information systems, runway lighting etc. between nodes of high integrity airport surface wireless local area networks.
Spectrum currently globally allocated to the aeronautical radionavigation service (ARNS) and having suitable propagation conditions to support air ground communication systems to satisfy current and emerging AM(R)S requirements has been considered in ICAO . ICAO supports an additional allocation to the AM(R)S service in portions of the frequency bands 960 – 1 215 MHz, the band 5000-5030 MHz and the band 5 091 – 5 150 MHz. The introduction of an allocation to the AM(R)S in any of these bands needs to be limited to ICAO standardized systems (‘...operating in accordance with international aeronautical standards’), preferably through an appropriate footnote. Compatibility with ICAO standardized systems will be addressed in ICAO. Compatibility with in-band and adjacent band non-aeronautical systems will be addressed in ITU, as required, when the technical characteristics of these aeronautical communication systems are being established. Special attention is required for appropriate provisions in the Radio Regulations to allow for the proposed use of the universal access transceiver (UAT) system which operates on the frequency 978 MHz.
The whole of the band 5 030 – 5 091 MHz is required to satisfy requirements for MLS. In addition, part of the band 5091-5150 MHz may also be required for MLS in some geographical areas, and thus its priority in that band must be maintained.
No change to the current allocation in the bands 108 - 112 MHz and 328.6 - 335.4 MHz since it is expected that these bands for the foreseeable future (more than twenty years) would be required to accommodate the Instrument Landing System (ILS) (Localizer and Glide Path), including ILS Category I, Category II and Category III operations and other systems covered under No. 5.197A (mobile to support navigation and surveillance). However, the current limitation on AM(R)S in the band 112 – 117.975 MHz to systems supporting navigation and surveillance should be removed.
Studies completed to date identify the bands 960 – 1164 MHz, 5000-5010 MHz, 5010-5030 MHz and 5 091 – 5 150 MHz as suitable for allocations to the AM(R)S, under the condition of appropriate regulatory protection for other in-band services. . Compatibility studies with these other services will be completed in ICAO and/or ITU as appropriate when system characteristics are better defined.
Frequency bands allocated to the aeronautical radionavigation service or radionavigation service between 1 215 – 4 400 MHz and 5 350 – 5 470 MHz are considered to be not available for an allocation to the aeronautical mobile (R) service due to the extensive use of some of these bands by primary radar systems, introduction of aeronautical radionavigation systems supporting GNSS, by radio altimeters and airborne weather radar systems.
