7、 Standardization Advisory Group, the continuing review of new and existing work and its distribution between the two Sectors, for approval by Members in accordance with the procedures laid down for the approval of new or revised Questions taking into account the activities and results of the ongoing
8、 restructuring efforts within ITU; _ *This Resolution should be brought to the attention of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector. Res. ITU-R 6-1 22 that the principles for the allocation of work to the Radiocommunication Sector and Telecommunication Standardization Sector (see Annex 1) s
9、hould be used to give guidance in the allocation of work to the Sectors; 3 that, if considerable responsibilities in both Sectors in a particular subject are identified, either: a) the procedure as given in Annex 2 should be applied, or b) a joint meeting may be arranged by the Directors, or c) the
10、matter should be studied by relevant Study Groups of both Sectors with appropriate coordination (see Annex 3), invites the Directors of the Radiocommunication and Telecommunication Standardization Bureaux to strictly observe the provisions of resolves 3 and to identify ways and means of strengthenin
11、g this cooperation. Annex 1 Principles for the allocation of work to the Radiocommunication and Telecommunication Standardization Sectors 1 General Principle 1 The approach to work in a Sector needs to be task-oriented, with an appropriate Study Group (or designated group) responsible for coordinati
12、on. Further assignment of detailed tasks within a given work item or subject area would then occur, with special arrangements for handling work which crosses Sector boundaries. Work planning may start with a service or system concept, and would include development of overall network or service archi
13、tectures and identification of interfaces through to more detailed specification and linking of tasks. Activity related to ongoing review of existing Recommendations needs to be accommodated as a general area of work. 2 Roles of the Sectors Within a task-oriented approach, experts of both Sectors sh
14、ould be able to work as part of a well-managed team. Principle 2 Telecommunication Standardization Sector work includes interworking arrangements required for either radio-based equipment within a public telecommunication network or radio systems requiring interconnection for the carriage of public
15、correspondence. Res. ITU-R 6-1 3NOTE 1 Public correspondence: any telecommunication which offices and stations must, by reason of their being at the disposal of the public, accept for transmission. In addition, the Recommendations developed by the Telecommunication Standardization Sector need to pro
16、vide for the capabilities required to support the particular characteristics of radio systems. Similarly, the work of the Telecommunication Radiocommunication Sector should complement the work of the Standardization Sector, especially where it relates to the use of radio-based technology in telecomm
17、unication networks. The two Sectors will therefore both need to consider interface questions. The term “public correspondence“ should not be interpreted too restrictively in Principle 2 (and elsewhere). The word “includes“ is intended to imply that the carriage of related classes of traffic (e.g. go
18、vernment, service) or user applications are not excluded. Principle 3 Radiocommunication Sector work related to network standards includes studies addressing the characteristics, performance, operation and spectrum aspects of radio-based equipment or radio systems as necessary to support the interco
19、nnection and interworking arrangements identified by the Telecommunication Standardization Sector. The characteristics of radio-based equipment refer to those characteristics dealing with the equipment and the physical environment in which the equipment must work. Examples include performance, modul
20、ation, coding, error correction, maintenance and other aspects that may affect the interface signals and protocols that are able to be supported. Principle 4 Before specific tasks are allocated, services, network architectures, and interfaces should be identified as clearly as possible. For example,
21、 the Telecommunication Standardization Sector and the Radiocommunication Sector would jointly identify interfaces to be supported by the system under study. The Radiocommunication Sector will also need to identify the scope and capabilities of radio systems needed to meet the interface requirements
22、and achieve optimum spectrum/orbit utilization. Principle 5 Work unique to the Radiocommunication Sector covers matters related to spectrum and orbit utilization and efficiency and, inter alia, all aspects of services not used for public correspondence, for example radiodetermination, independent mo
23、bile radio services, broad-casting, safety and distress operation, remote sensing, amateur radio, and radioastronomy. Principle 6 The studies in one Sector must complement those of the other Sector where a task crosses Sector boundaries noting that in some cases, joint studies may be required as the
24、 most practical option. To guide actual work allocations, the coordinating Sector (as user) could produce statements on “desirable/required characteristics“. The potential provider Sector (or Study Group) could on its own initiative, or in response, develop statements of technology capability in the
25、 form of “achievable/typical characteristics“. Res. ITU-R 6-1 4Mutual dependency will require continued cooperation where both Sectors have an interest in the work. In establishing tasks toward standards for a service based on technology of both Sectors, the coordinating Sector must make best use of
26、 established sources of skill and knowledge. Joint ad hoc Groups could be established as needed to ensure the best possible progress and information exchange, where necessary. 3 Coordination on new study Questions Coordination on study Questions is needed. A key element of such arrangements is the m
27、aintenance of a satisfactory pace, quality of output and avoidance of delays in progressing current work. Principle 7 Standardization work should continue in both Sectors while suitable arrangements are developed and put in place to maintain the pace and quality of output. Coordination on study Ques
28、tions should be monitored and reviewed by the Advisory Groups for the purpose of ensuring timely and progressive output. Some new study Questions may include components which fall into both Sectors. In line with the project approach and efficient management practice, such Questions should be revised
29、 so that the tasks for each Sector can be clearly identified, or establish joint arrangements, if necessary. Principle 8 Study Groups should continue as efficient and effective sources of special skills in the task-oriented environment. Task orientation should not lead to numerous, independent proje
30、ct groups which potentially duplicate or diverge from established work. Where it is appropriate to establish a special group (e.g. to address interface or interworking issues), it should draw skills from the relevant Study Groups, appropriately limiting the scope of the project group, while followin
31、g the guidelines in resolves 3. In this way, compatibility and consistency across multiple applications is maintained. Recommendations from such special groups, in any case, have to be approved by the appropriate Study Group prior to submission to the ITU Members for approval. Annex 2 Procedural met
32、hod of cooperation With respect to resolves 3a), the following procedure should be applied: a) the Radiocommunication and Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Groups may jointly nominate the Sector which will be leading in the work and will finally approve the deliverable; Res. ITU-R 6-1 5b) t
33、he leading Sector will request the other Sector to indicate those requirements which it considers essential for integration in the deliverable; c) the leading Sector will base its work on these essential requirements and integrate them in its draft deliverable; d) during the process of development o
34、f the required deliverable the leading Sector shall consult with the other Sector in case it meets difficulties with these essential requirements. In case of agreement on revised essential requirements the revised requirements shall be the basis for further work; e) when the deliverable concerned co
35、mes to maturity, the leading Sector shall seek once more the views of the other Sector. In the determination of the work responsibility it may be appropriate to progress the work by drawing jointly on the skills of both Sectors. Annex 3 Coordination of the radiocommunication and telecommunication st
36、andardization activities through Intersector Coordination Groups With respect to resolves 3c) the following procedure shall be applied: a) the joint meeting of the advisory groups as indicated in resolves 1, may, in exceptional cases, establish an Intersector Coordination Group (ICG) to coordinate t
37、he work of both Sectors and to assist the advisory groups in coordinating the related activity of their respective Study Groups; b) the joint meeting shall, at the same time, nominate the Sector which will be leading in the work; c) the mandate of each ICG shall be clearly defined by the joint meeti
38、ng, based on the particular circumstances and issues at the time the group is established; the joint meeting shall also establish a target date for termination of the ICG; d) the ICG shall designate a Chair and a Vice-Chair, one representing each Sector; e) the ICG shall be open to Members of both S
39、ectors in accordance with Nos. 86 to 88 and 110 to 112 of the Constitution; f) the ICG shall not develop Recommendations; g) the ICG shall prepare reports on its coordinating activities to be presented to each Sectors Advisory Group; these reports shall be submitted by the Directors to the two Secto
40、rs; h) an ICG may also be established by the Radiocommunication Assembly or by the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly following a recommendation by the advisory group of the other Sector; j) the cost of an ICG shall be supported by the two Sectors on an equal basis and each Director shall include in the budget of his Sector, budgetary provisions for such meetings.
