SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT:KEY ISSUES AND ROADMAP TO 2015
Gilles Brégant
Spectrum needs increase – for all users
Mobile data traffic: about 70% annual growth rate in 2012
High definition, 3D, UHD for television
Digital radio
Video-based PPDR networks
PMSE
Drones
e-traffic, smart grids for power supply, e-health, internet of things
Smarter technologies help to accommodate new servicesExtra spectrum must be released by 2020
The need to manage spectrum is reinforced
Increase in

Fixed resource (public domain from 9 MHz to 300 GHz)
Strong and/orfragmented occupation
Need for regulation
Lighter allocation procedures / heavier spectrum operation and maintenance needs

The wireless broadband case
RSPP identified a need of 1200 MHz of spectrum by 2015.
RSPG set the scene of possible spectrum resources to respond to wireless broadband needs in the future by identifying spectrum bands.
Wireless broadband: bands under review
« 700 MHz » band (694-790 MHz)
Rest of « UHF » (470-694 MHz)
L Band
2 GHz bands
2.3 GHz harmonised band
High capacity for MBB (3,4-3,8 GHz /3,8-4,2 GHz)
5 GHz for WiFi extension
Technical issues have become major public policy issues
Rearranging borders enables development
transition
700 MHz status today within ITU
700 MHz band in Region 1 allocated to mobile service on a co-primary basis (WRC-12),
effective in 2015
The lower edge of the allocation is subject to refinement at WRC-15
The technical and regulatory conditions
applicable will be specified at WRC-15
700 MHz band in France
Explore all scenarios for a liberation of the band between 2017-2022

Work in progress in France: 4G roll-out
ANFR’s mission: monitor and authorize deployments while protecting users (DTT interferences and public exposure to magnetic fields).
ANFR Observatory: number of « supports » authorized since Nov-12.
