Outline

• Harmonised spectrum and harmonised

standards in the EU

• EC mandate on Reconfigurable Radio

Systems

• ETSI BRAN and RRS work towards HS

• Conclusions


Smarter radios do not negate

the need for harmonisation!


Competition between service

providers

Global/Regional harmonised

mobile spectrum

Favourable regulatory

environment

Well defined global

standards

Affordable device and

service costs for end users

• Every different

spectrum band supported adds cost and complexity to a device

• Benefits of scale as important to an agile radio than to a dumb radio

• Piecemeal approaches in individual countries will not enable investment and market emergence

Harmonised standards in the

EU

• Harmonised standards in the EU are intended to streamline the market entry of radio and telecom equipment

• HS is developed by one or several of the three ESOs based on a mandate from the European Commission

• Under the Radio & Telecom Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) regime, a manufacturer can pursue market entry through fulfilling the requirements of a Harmonised Standard

• HS are listed in the Official Journal of the EU, and the ones under the R&TTE support one or all of the essential requirements of the directive


Why R&TTE?

Show conformance to the relevant European harmonised standard

Compliance with R&TTE No need for notified bodies

Demonstrate compliance with Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE)

Fast placing on the market Free movement

Take advantage of the entire EU single market

Benefits of scale Place products directly

EC goal on spectrum sharing

Licence-exempt sharing

• In bands already allocated for LE

• Promotes innovation

• Internet of Things

Licensed Sharing (LSA)

• Based on sharing agreement between incumbent and new user

• Regulatory guarantees

• Quality of Service


Shared use of spectrum:

Feedback from MSs and next steps

EC Communication on shared

used of spectrum: next steps

• Identify BSOs (beneficial sharing opportunities) in both licensed and licence-exempt frequency bands

• Consider making sufficient licence-exempt spectrum, harmonised at EU level, available for wireless innovations

• Define, in cooperation with Member States, a common path towards enabling more sharing possibilities, based on contractual agreements between users


EU mandate on RRS

• Submitted to ETSI, CEN and CENELEC in October 2012

• Aims to bring together commercial, military and public safety areas in RRS

• Sufficiently innovative – informs what level of awareness ESOs need to have to produce something that has a role of making regulatory framework available for these devices

• Two year process to develop harmonised standards for the commercial side

– drafts end of ‘13, ready end of ‘14

Geolocation databases

• Under the R&TTE, GLDB is a component, similarly to software component

– It has an interface to WSD, that is a radio equipment

• In the case of interference, end user must not be liable

– In the absence of HS, the NRA needs to find a single entity that the responsibility lies with

• Harmonised standard removes the ambiguity through having a regulatory status that the manufacturers can refer to

– GLDB-to-WSD interface falls under the HS for RRS

• How to manage device circulation in the EU?

– Master WSD has to connect to relevant GLDB

Geolocation databases and

harmonisation

• Country borders are areas where different regulatory requirements meet

– Bilateral coordination sets the limits

– GLDB in one country has only information on the regulatory requirements of that country

– Interoperability in providing full information to a device is important

• This applies both to the GLDB-to-WSD (under HS) and GLDB-to-GLDB interface


Key messages

• Dynamic use of spectrum does not need to

be opportunistic on regulatory and

standards side

• Clear framework brings benefits in accessing

single European market
