On-going investigations in the ECC regarding coexistence with LTE

Info to EC Workshop on Coexistence Challenges of LTE Deployment

Ongoing Investigations, Work Items and available information inside the ECC

• WGSE, 2 work items: Creation of two new ECC Reports by mid 2013 to cover adjacent band

compatibility between SRD applications and LTE (at band edges 862 MHz, 876 MHz, 915 MHz)

• Review of GSM-R situation (WGFM ongoing work item): recent request from UIC to study maximum

unwanted emission limits in the GSM-R operating frequencies put forward to the next ECC; WGFM created in September a correspondence group to investigate the problem, i.e. to possibly identify areas not covered in existing study reports;

• ECO Report 03 includes the information where LTE is in use over the ECS bands in the CEPT countries

(periodically updated information)

• Draft CEPT Report 50 -> PMSE in 821-832 MHz and 1785-1805 MHz; capacity impact on PMSE due to

MFCN (studies based on LTE) in adjacent bands

• WGSE, PT SE21 -> Review the characterisation of the unwanted emissions to achieve a more efficient

use of the spectrum in long-term

Software enhancement (selection of)

Software enhancement (selection of)

• Choice of hierarchical or alphabetical application term list (‘flat list’) throughout the

system (in addition to the ‘layer’ selection option)

• ECA applications search for frequency range of ETSI Srdocs and ETSI Draft Srdocs (as

was requested by ETSI)

• Third party’ documents (proposed by ECC/ECO MoU or LoU partner, uploaded by ECO):
• Documentation from ETSI, CRAF, UIC, EBU and ITU Broadcast Web already

available; ECO continues to add info from ‘third parties’

• Various layout improvements, incl. menu bar layout and use of icons for some data items

General overview

• The ECA (European Common Allocations) table is fully merged into EFIS. The ECA

database was switched of in September 2012.

• EFIS contains the ECA table, an ITU table and 42 national tables
• Macedonia FYROM has recently uploaded frequency allocations and applications
• Albania and Georgia have published frequency allocations
• Three of the countries in EFIS currently have links to NTFAs on national websites, but

are expected to upload data before long

• Russia is expected to upload its NTFA data to EFIS some time in the autumn
• ECO is in regular contact with Belarus and the Ukraine
• Some general EFIS statistics

(as of 3 August 2012):
