Executive Summary The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis—freely available to all. The United States Air Force (USAF) is the executive agent of GPS and is directly responsible for acquiring, operating, and sustaining survivable, effective, and affordable global positioning services for its worldwide customers. The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), is responsible for developing, procuring, and sustaining GPS satellites, ground systems, and military user equipment. With the advent of Satellite Base Augmentation Systems (SBAS) and other Radionavigation Satellite Service (RNSS) systems, managing the issuance and use of GPS pseudorandom noise (PRN) codes to minimize intra- and inter-system interference has become critical. The GPS PRN Coordination Office (PRNCO), an entity within the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) located in Los Angeles, CA, is responsible for managing the issuance of GPS PRN codes. This GPS PRN Code Assignment Process document describes the process for requesting and assigning the GPS PRN codes pre-selected and defined in GPS interface specifications IS-GPS-200, IS-GPS-705, and IS-GPS-800. The objectives of this PRN code assignment process are (1) to establish PRNCO as the single focal point for L1, L2, and L5 GPS PRN code assignments; (2) to prevent multiple assignments of the same PRN code sets; (3) to assign PRN codes that assure compatibility and interoperability; and (4) to assign PRN codes in a transparent and equitable manner.

1. Pseudorandom Noise (PRN) Code Assignment Background 1.1. Intro. Many national and international radionavigation systems seek a high level of

interoperability with GPS, including the use of PRN codes from the spreading code families developed for GPS. Signals that employ PRN codes from the GPS spreading code families achieve an established level of code performance, including compatibility and interoperability with GPS. Additionally, the use of PRN codes from the GPS spreading code families fosters the development of receivers capable of seamlessly using signals from multiple radionavigation systems. The resulting compatibility and interoperability are beneficial to all systems using GPS PRN codes.

1.2. Scope. The procedures established in this document apply to systems other than GPS, for example Space-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), planning to transmit GPS augmentation signals using one or more of the following PRN codes: L1 Coarse/Acquisition (C/A)-code, L2 Civil-Moderate (L2 CM)-code, L2 Civil-Long (L2 CL)-code, L5 In-Phase (L5 I5)-code, L5 Quadrature-Phase (L5 Q5)-code, L1 Civil-Pilot (L1CP), and L1 Civil-Data (L1CD) as defined in IS-GPS-200, IS-GPS-705, and IS-GPS-800. While this process is most commonly used by SBAS providers, this application process should also be followed by other applicants.

1.3. PRN Definitions. The GPS Pseudorandom Noise spreading codes are defined in IS-GPS-200, IS-GPS-705, and IS-GPS-800. Baseline sets of PRN codes are reserved exclusively for use by GPS satellites. Additional sets of PRN codes are defined for use by cooperating radionavigation systems. A PRN code set consists of a matching quadruplet of distinct PRN codes for each of the GPS L1, L2, and L5 civil signals defined in the previously listed interface specifications. See Table 1 for a summary of the various PRN allocations.

* See Section 4.3.7 for SBAS-specific guidance 2. Process Overview

2.1. Overview. A formal request for a PRN code is initiated when an applicant submits the

“Application for PRN Code Set Assignment” to PRNCO ([email protected]). If the review criteria in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 are satisfied and PRN codes are available, PRNCO will issue a PRN code set assignment to the applicant. All four civil signals, i.e. L1-C/A, L1C, L2C, L5, with the matching PRN code numbers will be assigned at the same time; unused signals will be held by PRNCO as “reserved” portions of the assignment. The assignment duration will be based on the needs of the subject system and the criteria described in Section 4.4. The applicant may renew the assigned PRN code set by resubmitting an application with any relevant changes.

2.2. Website. Pertinent documentation, to include this process, the lists of assigned and available

PRN code sets, and the “Application for PRN Code Assignment” is located on the GPS PRN Code Assignment Website at http://www.losangeles.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Article/343695/pseudorandom-noise-code-assignments.

3. Request for PRN Code Assignment 3.1. Application Submittal. To request the initial assignment or renewal of one or more PRN

code sets, an applicant must fill out the “Application for PRN Code Assignment” form found on the GPS PRN Code Assignment Website and included in Appendix A of this document. Once the application is complete, the applicant should email the application to PRNCO per the instructions described on the application. Thorough completion of the application and compliance with the instructions will aid PRNCO review.

3.2. Application Content. The purpose of the application is for PRNCO to obtain sufficient

technical and programmatic information about the subject system to review and assign the appropriate PRN code set and duration. This decision is influenced by both the applicant’s request and PRNCO’s evaluation of the application according to the criteria in Section 4.2.

3.3. Timeline for Submittal. Informal coordination (e.g. email or in-person communication) on the status of the applicant’s program, intentions for PRN code assignment renewal, or intentions to apply for a new PRN code set can be conducted at any time. However, formal application submittal should be accomplished between 1 year and 4 months prior to the desired PRN assignment notification date (Note: PRN assignment notification date is the date of issuance, not the date of system broadcast).

4. Review of PRN Code Assignment Application 4.1. Receipt and Clarifying Questions. PRNCO will normally reply within 3 weeks of

application submittal to confirm receipt of the PRN Code Assignment Application. If no confirmation of receipt is received during that time, PRNCO recommends forwarding the application to the alternate focal points (See Section 7). After receipt, PRNCO will contact the applicant to ask clarifying questions to effectively complete the review, if necessary.

4.2. Timeline for Review. PRNCO will review applications as quickly as possible, in the order

they were received. If the application is complete, an adjudication can be expected within 2 months after confirmation of receipt. Applicants should specify the PRN code notification need date on the application.

4.3. PRN Code Determination. The following factors are used to determine whether or not a PRN code will be assigned, as well as which PRN code will be assigned to the applicant.

4.3.1. Compatibility and Interference. PRNCO will conduct initial compatibility and interference screening, to include verifying the transmitter characteristics are in compliance with International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radio Regulations, ensuring the PRN code is not currently in use, and reviewing compliance with any existing GPS operator-to-operator agreements.

4.3.2. Demonstrated Compliance to Governing Spectrum Authorities. The applicant (i.e. the organization or government administration either operating the subject system or acting as the SBAS service provider), is responsible for ensuring the transmitting system complies with all required radio frequency filings. These may include filings with the ITU, the

Page 6: APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE3.1. Application Submittal. To request the initial assignment renewal of or one or more PRN code sets, an applicant must fill out the “Application for

APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

Page 6 of 13

appropriate national spectrum regulatory agency, and other authorities as required. The specific frequency assignment process, ITU operator-to-operator coordination process, and radiation approval process are beyond the scope of this document. In the case of SBASs transmitting from leased payloads, the SBAS service provider may not necessarily be the organization that submits the radio frequency filings, but the burden is on the service provider to ensure the appropriate filings are complete, accurate, and approved before the SBAS transmits with a PRN code. Assignments will not be processed until proper documentation including, but not limited to, proof of submitted fillings with both international and national regulatory bodies has been provided.

4.3.3. Requested PRN code. If the other review criteria in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 are satisfied, PRNCO will attempt to issue the requested PRN code if it is available. When the requested PRN code is unavailable, PRNCO will attempt to issue a PRN code within the same range of PRNs. For example, if PRN 125 is requested but unavailable, PRNCO will attempt to issue another PRN within the legacy PRN range of 120-138.

4.3.4. Existing PRN Code Assignment. If a specific PRN code is requested by multiple applicants,

and all other review criteria are satisfied, priority will be given to the applicant who already possesses a PRN code assignment for that specific code (e.g. if an applicant possesses a Temporary assignment for PRN 137 and decides to apply for renewal of the Temporary assignment or conversion to a Final assignment for PRN 137).

4.3.5. Quantity of PRN Codes Already Assigned. Due to limited PRN codes and increasing numbers of systems requiring PRNs, the number of PRNs assigned to an applicant must be managed to ensure the assignment process is equitable. For SBAS PRNs, PRNCO will issue no more than 3 PRN code assignments within the range PRN 120-158 to a single SBAS provider unless there are extenuating circumstances.

4.3.6. Type of PRN code. There are two types of PRN code assignments: Temporary and Final.

4.3.6.1. Final. The maximum duration of a Final PRN code assignment is 10 years. PRN assignments will be identified as Final if the following two requirements are met: A) The subject system must be operational. Either the orbital position of the

existing operational satellite or evidence of completed operational testing must be provided.

B) Evidence of the subject system’s spectrum certification through the ITU and/or other appropriate regulatory agency must be provided.

4.3.6.2. Temporary. The maximum duration of a Temporary PRN code assignment is 3

years. Temporary assignments will be issued for systems that do not meet the requirements for a Final assignment. Developmental systems, for example systems undergoing testing or proof-of-concept demonstration, may be eligible for Temporary assignments. While final spectrum certifications are not required, evidence of appropriate spectrum filing submission through the ITU and/or other

Page 7: APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE3.1. Application Submittal. To request the initial assignment renewal of or one or more PRN code sets, an applicant must fill out the “Application for

APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

Page 7 of 13

appropriate regulatory agency must be provided. Applicants desiring to upgrade a Temporary assignment to a Final assignment must submit a new application; the subject system will be eligible for the full 10 year Final assignment duration, regardless of the Temporary assigment duration.

4.3.7. SBAS Considerations (PRNs 120-158). If the applicant is requesting PRNs (120-158), for

use by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) International Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs)-compliant SBAS, adherence to the following requirements will influence whether or not a PRN can be issued. The following factors will be considered for all SBAS PRN code assignments:

4.3.7.1. Users. Assessment of the operational users and geographic area serviced by the

subject system. In the event of limited operational PRNs, the number of operational users and geographic area may be considered to determine whether a particular PRN code is assigned.

4.3.7.2. Coordination. The SBAS provider must supply evidence of successful or planned

coordination with other systems transmitting in the same band as the subject system, that is the 1559-1610 MHz and/or 1164-1300 MHz bands.

4.3.7.3. Program Updates. SBAS service providers are expected – at a minimum – to

submit information papers to the ICAO Navigation Systems Panel (NSP) that describe the high-level development, implementation, and operational timeline of their SBAS system. Specific milestones should clearly indicate the expected date when PRNs are required for development and testing as well as the expected PRN need date for operational use of RTCA DO-229 Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) compliant SBAS avionics. The applicant must provide a copy of these information papers to PRNCO to establish credible intent to make use of the PRN code assignment.

4.3.7.4. Legacy PRN Considerations (PRNs 120-138). Due to the proliferation of SBASs

designed for safety-of-life aviation use in accordance with Annex 10 Volume 1 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, the original allocation of SBAS PRNs (120-138) does not meet the demand of current and planned systems. While PRN code numbers 139-158 are currently allocated for SBAS use, updates to all civil aviation standards and guidance (e.g. ICAO SARPs, RTCA/EUROCAE MOPS, etc.) were not effective until May 2017. Therefore, aircraft equipped with the full 120-158 range are not expected to appear in great numbers for some time. The following will be considered for issuance of a legacy PRN:

A) The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is expected to submit a Letter of

Confirmation to both the ICAO NSP and PRNCO certifying that the SBAS provider’s service will be in compliance with the ICAO SARPs. The Letter of Confirmation should also state the expected date of initial SBAS operational use.

Note: The requesting or endorsing CAA may reside in a different state from where the SBAS provider is licensed in accordance with respective national regulations.

B) Preference will be given to subject systems that have met the requirements for

a Final PRN code assignment, as described in Section 4.3.6.1. In order to support the future expansion of internationally harmonized SBAS PRN codes, PRNCO strongly recommends use of PRNs 139-158 by applicants with subject systems that fall under the criteria for Temporary assignments, i.e. research, development and testing applications.

4.4. Duration of PRN Code Assignment

4.4.1. Maximum Duration. The maximum duration of the PRN code assignment depends on the

type of PRN code assignment. If it is Temporary, the maximum duration is 3 years. If it is Final, the maximum duration is 10 years. An applicant desiring to extend a PRN code assignment beyond the maximum duration must renew their assignment by submitting another application, incorporating any pertinent changes.

4.4.2. Assigned Duration. The assigned duration will depend on two factors:

4.4.2.1. Requested Duration. PRNCO will attempt to accommodate the requested duration if it aligns with the submitted program timeline.

4.4.2.2. Program Schedule. The applicant is required to submit a program schedule that includes the high level development, implementation, and operation timeline, including when the PRN codes will be required. Plans to decommission the system or field a new system, or any other change expected that would affect the operational status of the system must be included. The alignment of the program schedule with the requested duration will be considered in the determination of assignment duration.

4.5. Issuance of PRN Code Assignment. If the review criteria are satisfied, PRNCO will issue

a PRN code assignment letter to the applicant.

4.5.1. Issuance of PRN Code Set. When PRNCO issues a PRN code, the entire PRN code set with matching codes for the L1 C/A, L1C, L2C, and L5 signals will be assigned to the applicant at the same time. Any of the four civil signals not requested by the applicant will be held by PRNCO as “reserved.”

4.5.2. Assignee. The applicant or requesting agency will be the recipient of the PRN code assignment. The desired addressee for the assignment letter should be included in the Application for PRN Code Assignment. In the case of SBASs transmitting from leased payloads, PRN codes are assigned to the government administration acting as the SBAS service provider, not to the owner of the satellite that hosts the leased payload.

4.5.3. Published Update. PRNCO will publish updates to the L1 C/A, L1C, L2C, and/or L5 PRN Code Assignment Tables on the GPS PRN Website at http://www.losangeles.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Article/343695/pseudorandom-noise-code-assignments.

4.5.4. Disclaimer. Issuance of a PRN code does not indicate the PRNCO, Space and Missile

Page 9: APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE3.1. Application Submittal. To request the initial assignment renewal of or one or more PRN code sets, an applicant must fill out the “Application for

Page 9 of 13

Systems Center (SMC), or United States Air Force endorses or approves of the subject system’s operations. A PRN code assignment does not convey the authority to radiate in the L1, L2, or L5 frequency bands. SMC assumes no responsibility for ensuring subject systems comply with domestic or international radio frequency regulations or ensuring subject systems do not cause RF interference. The applicant and appropriate national and/or international regulatory bodies are responsible for the operation of the subject system in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations.

4.5.5. Expiration. The PRN code assignment will expire the last day of the last month of the

effective assignment. For example, if the PRN code assignment is effective thru April 2023, it will expire on 30 Apr 2023.

5. Retention of PRN Code Assignment

In order to retain the issued PRN code assignment, the applicant must adhere to the following requirements:

5.1. Program Update. Applicants must notify PRNCO when the program timeline (as described in Section 4.4.2.2) or planned PRN code requirements have changed with respect to the original application package.

5.2. Filing Status Update. Applicants must notify PRNCO when the status of spectrum filings to pertinent domestic/international spectrum authorities has changed.

5.3. SBAS Specific Requirements

5.3.1. Maintaining Operations. For SBAS PRN code assignments designated as Final, the subject system cannot lapse in operation for more than 2 consecutive years during the assigned duration. In order to meet this requirement, providers have the option of transfering the PRN (Section 6.3) to another existing operational system or a newly fielded system. Other options should be discussed and coordinated with PRNCO.

5.3.2. ICAO NSP Updates. Applicants must continue to update NSP as described in Section 4.3.7.3.

5.3.3. Compliance to Civil Aviation Standards. Subject systems must remain compliant with civil aviation standards and guidance, including but not limited to ICAO SARPs.

5.3.4. Non-safety-of-life SBAS. If the SBAS is not approved for safety-of-life services, the SBAS provider must implement protective measures to ensure transmissions are not erroneously used for safety-of-life services. This includes, but is not limited to, transmitting messages of Type 0.

5.3.5. Issue or Anomaly Reporting. In the event that an issue or anomaly is identified with an SBAS system, the SBAS provider should be notified directly. PRNCO should be included on the correspondence. The SBAS provider contact sheet and process for anomaly reporting are located on the ICAO NSP portal.

5.3.6. Impact to Safety-of-life Services. The SBAS provider must cease transmission (Section 6.4) of the assigned PRN if it is determined by any ICAO or RTCA/EUROCAE member

Page 10: APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE3.1. Application Submittal. To request the initial assignment renewal of or one or more PRN code sets, an applicant must fill out the “Application for

APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

Page 10 of 13

that the system’s transmissions impact SBAS safety of life services. Also see Section 6.1 on suspension and revocation.

6. Modification of PRN Code Assignment

6.1. SMC/GP PRN Transfer. PRNCO reserves the right to transfer PRNs, that is assign a

different PRN code than the original, while it is still active. In the case of a transfer, PRNCO will notify all affected parties and work with them to coordinate the logistics of the reassignment.

6.2. Revocation or Suspension. PRNCO reserves the right to revoke or suspend any active PRN code assignment if: (1) The s u b j e c t system is found to not be in compliance with international or national regulations, standards, or guidance, (2) the subject system does not meet the criteria for its assigned PRN code as discussed in Section 5, e.g. system ceases to be operational, or (3) the applicant is not using its PRN code assignment. PRNCO will attempt to discuss any issues with the applicant before revoking or suspending the PRN code assignment.

6.3. Advanced Notice Requirement. PRNCO will not make any modifications to SBAS PRN code assignments that impact an SBAS service provider's obligation to "provide ICAO with six years notice in advance of planned system termination" without first discussing this decision at a meeting of the ICAO NSP.

6.4. Assignee PRN Transfer. Assignees may transfer PRN code number assignments between satellites within their systems as long as the service providers give PRNCO at least one month advance notice. For example, an SBAS service provider may transfer one of its two PRN code assignments to a third satellite while one of the primary satellites is undergoing maintenance (information in Part 2 of the PRN Code Assignment Application must provided for the third satellite).

6.5. Cease of Transmissions. When a subject system ceases to transmit the assigned PRN due to an expiration, transfer, revocation, or suspension, the provider must email PRNCO to announce that the system has ceased transmission.
