9、ief radiocommunication systems in UHF bands in accordance with Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12) (2012-2014) Scope This Recommendation provides guidance on frequency arrangements for public protection and disaster relief radiocommunications in certain regions in some of the bands below 1 GHz identified in
10、 Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12). Currently, the Recommendation addresses arrangements in the ranges 380-470 MHz in certain countries in Region 1, 746-806 MHz and 806-869 MHz in Region 2, 406.1-410 MHz, 410-430 MHz, and 806-824/851-869 MHz in some countries in Region 3 in accordance with Resolutions ITU
11、-R 53, ITU-R 55 and WRC Resolutions 644 (Rev.WRC-12), 646 (Rev.WRC-12), and 647 (Rev.WRC-12). Keywords PPDR, frequency arrangements, UHF band The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that growing telecommunication and radiocommunication needs of public protection and disaster relief (PPDR
12、) agencies and organizations are vital to the maintenance of law and order, protection of life and property, disaster relief and emergency response; b) that many administrations wish to facilitate interoperability and interworking between systems used for PPDR radiocommunication, both nationally and
13、 for cross-border operations in emergency situations and for disaster relief; c) that a continuing requirement is envisaged for narrowband applications (such as voice and various types of messaging), along with wideband and broadband applications in the future; d) that continuing development of new
14、technologies such as International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) may be able to serve, support or supplement advanced public protection and disaster relief applications (PPDR); e) that, over time, traditional narrowband public protection and disaster relief
15、(PPDR) applications, such as mission critical voice and low-data rate applications, may be provided by advanced broadband systems; f) that administrations may have different requirements for their public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) agencies and organizations depending on their operational
16、needs, spectrum requirements, policy objectives and organizational structures; g) that national spectrum planning for public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) radiocommunication systems needs to have regard for cooperation and bilateral consultation with other concerned administrations, in order
17、 to facilitate greater levels of spectrum harmonization; h) that usage of the same frequencies of the same allocation will enable administrations to benefit from harmonization while continuing to meet national planning requirements, 2 Rec. ITU-R M.2015-1 noting a) that the benefits of spectrum harmo
18、nization are: increased potential for interoperability between public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) agencies and organizations within a particular administration, or between PPDR agencies and organizations in different administrations; a broader manufacturing base and increased volume of equ
19、ipment resulting in economies of scale and expanded equipment availability; improved spectrum management and planning; enhanced cross-border coordination and circulation of equipment. b) that spectrum planning for PPDR radiocommunications is performed at the national level, taking into account the n
20、eed for interoperability and benefits of neighbouring administrations using harmonized or common frequency bands; c) the benefits of cooperation between countries for the provision of effective and appropriate humanitarian assistance during disasters; d) the needs of countries, particularly the deve
21、loping countries, for low-cost communication equipment; e) that not all frequencies within an identified common frequency range will be available within each country of the relevant ITU Region; f) that flexibility must be afforded to administrations: to determine, at the national level, how much spe
22、ctrum to make available for PPDR from the band identified in Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12) in order to meet their particular national requirements; to have the ability for the bands identified in Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12) to be used by all services having allocations according to the provisions of t
23、he Radio Regulations, taking into account the existing applications and their evolution; and to determine the need and timing of availability, as well as the conditions of usage of the bands identified in Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12) for PPDR in order to meet specific national policy objectives, oper
24、ational priorities, organizational structures and operating environments; g) that information on technologies that may be appropriate for use in these frequency arrangements is provided in Recommendation ITU-R M.2009 Radio interface standards for use by public protection and disaster relief operatio
25、ns in some parts of the UHF band in accordance with Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12); h) that Report ITU-R M.2291 The use of International Mobile Telecommunications for broadband public protection and disaster relief applications, describes the features and benefits that make long term evolution (LTE) pa
26、rticularly suitable for PPDR applications; i) the relationship between Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12) on public protection and disaster relief, which invites the development of this Recommendation, and Resolution 647 (Rev.WRC-12) on spectrum management guidelines for emergency and disaster relief radio
27、communication and Resolution 644 (Rev.WRC-12) on radiocommunication resources for early warning, disaster mitigation and relief operations, which also address the need to coordinate activities under these Resolutions in order to prevent any possible overlap, Rec. ITU-R M.2015-1 3 recognizing a) that
28、 Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12) encourages administrations to consider the following identified frequency bands/ranges or parts thereof when undertaking their national planning for the purposes of achieving regionally harmonized frequency bands/ranges for advanced public protection and disaster relief
29、solutions: in Region 1: 380-470 MHz as the frequency range within which the band 380-385/390-395 MHz is a preferred core harmonized band for permanent public protection activities within certain countries of Region 1 which have given their agreement; in Region 21: 746-806 MHz, 806-869 MHz, 4 940-4 9
30、90 MHz; in Region 32: 406.1-430 MHz, 440-470 MHz, 806-824/851-869 MHz, 4 940-4 990 MHz and 5 850-5 925 MHz; b) the continuing need for development of regionally harmonized frequency arrangements for the purposes of implementing advanced PPDR solutions; c) that, in the context of Resolution 646 (Rev.
31、WRC-12), the term “frequency range” means a range of frequencies over which relevant radio equipment is envisaged to be capable of operating, but limited to specific frequency band(s) according to national conditions and requirements; d) that currently some bands or parts thereof have been designate
32、d for existing public protection and disaster relief operations by some administrations, as is recognized in recognizing g) of Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12)3; e) that the identification of these frequency bands/ranges or parts thereof for PPDR radiocommunications does not preclude the use of, nor esta
33、blish priority over, any other frequencies for PPDR4 in accordance with the Radio Regulations including the provisions of Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12), and does not preclude the use of these bands/frequencies by any application within the services to which these bands/frequencies are allocated; f) th
34、at the frequency bands identified in Resolution 646 (Rev.WRC-12) and covered by this Recommendation are allocated to a variety of services in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Radio Regulations; g) that the frequency arrangements in the Annexes are provided for PPDR applications in the
35、mobile service at the national level; h) that compatibility of stations using these frequency arrangements with other services operating in other countries is studied in the ITU at the service level and not at the application level; 1 Venezuela has identified the band 380-400 MHz for public protecti
36、on and disaster relief applications. 2 Some countries in Region 3 have also identified the bands 380-400 MHz and 746-806 MHz for public protection and disaster relief applications. 3 3-30, 68-88, 138-144, 148-174, 380-400 MHz (including CEPT designation of 380-385/ 390-395 MHz), 400-430, 440-470, 76
37、4-776, 794-806 and 806-869 MHz (including CITEL designation of 821-824/866-869 MHz). 4 These additional frequency bands are used by some administrations for PPDR: 350-370 MHz (China), 791-801/832-842 MHz (Qatar) and 806-824/851-869 MHz (Israel). These additional frequency bands are considered for us
38、e by the administration of United Arab Emirates and Jordan for PPDR: 703-713/758-768 MHz. 4 Rec. ITU-R M.2015-1 i) that Resolution ITU-R 53 instructs the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau to assist Member States with their emergency radiocommunication preparedness activities, such as listing
39、 of currently available frequencies for use in emergency situations for inclusion in a database maintained by the Bureau; j) that World Radiocommunication Conferences have identified bands, including 450-470 MHz, and part or all of the bands 698-960 MHz in certain Regions and countries, for use by a

41、e digital terrestrial broadcasting service in Region 1 (parts of Region 1 situated to the west of meridian 170 E and to the north of parallel 40 S, except the territory of Mongolia) and in the Islamic Republic of Iran, in the frequency bands 174-230 MHz and 470-862 MHz (GE-06); l) that commercial te
42、rrestrial wireless systems may effectively complement dedicated systems in support of PPDR, particularly where advantage can be taken of the availability, high-bit rate, and reliability features of these commercial systems. There may be a need for suitable upgrading of such commercial systems to mee
43、t the specific needs of PPDR agencies, recommends 1 that administrations implementing the frequency arrangements in the Annexes should make all necessary efforts to ensure compatibility between PPDR and stations of other services in neighbouring countries; 2 that the frequency arrangements in the An
44、nexes should be used by administrations as guidance when making spectrum available for PPDR applications. Annex 1 Examples of frequency arrangements for the band 380-470 MHz in certain countries in Region 1 for narrowband and wideband public protection and disaster relief operations 1 Region 1 The f
45、requency range 380-470 MHz has been identified as a tuning range for PPDR in Region 1. The frequency band 380-385 MHz (uplink)/390-395 MHz (downlink) is the harmonized core band for permanent use for PPDR. For more information relating to countries within Europe, see ECC/DEC/(08)05 and ECC Report 10
46、2. Wideband PPDR applications use channels within available parts of the frequency range 380-470 MHz. Additionally certain channels have been identified for DMO (Direct mode operation) and AGA (Air-ground-air operation) purposes. Rec. ITU-R M.2015-1 5 1.1 DMO (Direct mode operation) Simplex channels
47、 within the frequency bands 380-380.150 MHz and 390-390.150 MHz should be used as harmonized channels for DMO. For more information relating to countries within Europe see ERC/DEC/(01)19. 1.2 AGA (Air-ground-air operation) Duplex channels within the frequency bands 384.800 MHz-385 MHz/394.800-395 MH
48、z should be used as the core band for harmonized channels for AGA. Duplex channels within the frequency bands 384.750 MHz-384.800 MHz/394.750-394.800 MHz may be used as the preferred extension band for AGA when additional channels are required. For more information relating to countries within Europ
49、e, see ECC/DEC/(06)05. 1.3 Centre frequencies a) For systems with a channel bandwidth of up to 150 kHz FCH = band edge (channel bandwidth/2) + n * channel bandwidth where: FCH = centre frequency; n = channel number (1, 2, 3, .); band edge: is lower edge of frequency band. b) For systems with a channel bandwidth of 200 kHz The centre frequencies should be selected according to the formula under a) with an option to offset these centre frequencies by 100 kHz. c) For systems with a channel bandwidth of 1.25 MHz The centre frequencies should be selected according to
