18、e progressing deployment of FS stations or FSS earth stations may affect the future expansion of either service in the same frequency band. Accordingly, the FS station deployment patterns and the FSS earth station deployment patterns required for the introduction and growth of viable services have a
19、 major impact on band sharing. A combination of different propagation and service development conditions results in substantial FS deployment differences in the bands below 14 GHz where sharing between FS and GSO FSS systems is currently practised, and in the bands above 17 GHz which are being consi
20、dered for additional sharing with space services, e.g. the FSS. Propagation conditions result in usable FS hop lengths that are inversely proportional to frequency. The bands below 8 GHz are therefore best suited for long-distance transmission, whereas the much shorter usable hops at frequencies abo
21、ve 17 GHz are particularly well suited for cellular infrastructures and local access applications which are rapidly growing in urban, suburban and industrial areas. In the bands below 14 GHz, the predominant deployment patterns of both services facilitate sharing, because FS deployment along major c
22、ommunications routes results in branching network configurations that leave large geographical areas free for FSS gateway deployment. This facilitates realizing the interservice separation distances that are needed to limit interference to tolerable levels. In the band 37-40 GHz, however, the predom
23、inant FS deployment pattern is characterized by mobile network infrastructures and direct subscriber access in local areas of high population density, concentrated industrial activity or campus settings, and FSS deployment patterns could include these areas as well. FSS earth station deployment outs
24、ide areas of dense FS deployment should present few coordination problems. The same is not necessarily true with respect to the deployment of FSS earth stations within and adjacent to the FS deployment and area-wide FS licence areas, and vice versa. The information on FS deployment, presented in thi
25、s Annex, is intended to be used in the assessment of FS/FSS earth station sharing in the 38 GHz band. 2 Basic differentiation between conventional fixed wireless systems and BWA applications in the FS FS deployment in the 38 GHz band started with conventional applications migrating upwards from lowe
26、r frequency bands that are approaching saturation due to increasing deployment or new, more restrictive regulatory measures. The 38 GHz band was particularly attractive for the fast growing mobile infrastructure applications which account for the majority of conventional FS applications in 4 Rec. IT
27、U-R F.1498-1 this band. A favourable regulatory environment in many countries and progress in telecommunications deregulation stimulated a new type of deployment in this band, direct-to-user BWA, which substitutes for and competes with optical fibre access. Although BWA deployment started by using t
28、he commercially available systems that have been developed for conventional P-P FS applications, the BWA deployment patterns and link designs are substantially different in several aspects. The fundamental difference is due to the different service needs. The deployment of conventional FS systems in
29、 the 38 GHz band instead of in a lower frequency band with more favourable propagation conditions became necessarily more restricted in usable link length, but fit very well to the requirements of GSM900/1800 systems in urban areas. Commercially available transmitters and receivers are designed for
30、such applications based on trade-offs between high system gain, on the one hand, and low cost, low power consumption, low weight and small size, on the other. This makes it possible for conventional FS applications to satisfy, in a technically and economically viable manner, the substantial percenta
31、ge of deployment requirements near the upper limit of usable link lengths in the 38 GHz band, which makes large fade margins more practical. BWA deployment, by comparison, uses substantially smaller link lengths, and would be better served by P-P systems with substantially lower system gain. In fact
32、, the transmitter power in most P-P BWA links is routinely set to or near the lowest adjustable level, which is necessitated by the stringent frequency reuse requirements in high-density cellular deployment. This requires operation with the lowest fade margins that assure the desired link availabili
33、ty. This applies also to the more recently introduced P-MP BWA systems that usually complement P-P deployment by providing service to the users that are closest to the cell hub. Nevertheless, P-MP system may not be able to serve those subscribers within their area of coverage that require higher dat
34、a rates which can be provided with P-P systems. The shorter links and higher deployment densities of BWA systems result also in substantially higher elevation angles. These two distinctive characteristics of BWA systems make them more susceptible to interference from FSS systems than is the case wit
35、h conventional FS systems. The net result is that, as far as band sharing capability is concerned, cellular BWA systems display great similarity to cellular mobile systems, due to the high densities and unpredictable locations of subscribers. 3 Representative examples of 38 GHz HDFS deployment The i
36、nitial large-scale deployment of P-P systems in the band 37-40 GHz was in mobile networks with a concentration mainly in and around urban and industrial areas. A more recent large-scale FS application in this band represents a new variety of fixed wireless access (FWA) using P-P links that terminate
37、 directly on subscriber premises. Rec. ITU-R F.1498-1 5 3.1 Development of 38 GHz HDFS systems for mobile infrastructure applications Figure 1 illustrates an example of the current primary application within a mobile network for 38 GHz deployment in urban areas where deployment densities have progre

In Germany, for example, a total of some 11 200 P-P links had been depl
40、oyed by the end of 2000. In Table 1 the development of the deployment is indicated.

ITU-R F.1498-1 It is anticipated that this number will increase signifi
41、cantly during the next years, with increasing FWA applications. It can also be noted that 80% of the links are concentrated in 15% of the total area (see Fig. 8). The other links are distributed over the remaining area, but there are also numerous areas with no or neglectable 38 GHz applications. 14

43、3. Only 10 links are currently deployed with elevation angles higher than 25. The following specific facts may be the main reasons that the elevation angle distribution will be significantly different compared to subscriber based HDFS networks in the United States of America in 3.2: the major number
44、 of links is above 1 km (in the range of 1-4 km); terminal heights in mobile infrastructure networks are more commonly distributed; and possibly architectonic differences in metropolitan areas in Germany and the United States of America.

46、 networks Figure 4 illustrates, for one metropolitan area in the United States of America, a deployment of hub configurations providing various transmission capacities ranging from sub-primary data rates to 155 Mbit/s.1In this area, hub locations are typically on high-rise buildings, and subscriber
47、stations are mounted on rooftops and/or elsewhere on or within the building. Line-of-sight hop lengths are limited to a few kilometres due to propagation conditions and high availability requirements. Distances may increase in low rain fade areas or due to lower availability requirements. P-P deploy
48、ment densities, expressed by the number of 38 GHz stations per km2have already reached up to about 200 per km2in some instances and are moving higher. One operator reports a nationwide growth rate in link installation from January 1998 to December 2000 of approximately 400%. At the end of year 2000,
49、 one United States of America BWA provider had between 6 000 and 7 000 links. Generally BWA links in metro areas have shorter ranges and typically operate at low fade margins. Moreover, P-P BWA systems with power control (adaptive transmitter power control (ATPC) tend to be set up to operate much closer to the threshold in clear-sky conditions with appropriate transmitter power adjustments to meet the 99.999% availability. This can also be achieved with lowering power (ATPC, level setting and attenuator) and small antenna. _ 1Other a
