Strategies for Modern Spectrum Management

Training Focus
4 Days The radio spectrum is a limited resource that is shared between different systems, operators and nations. It is the task of a Regulatory Authority to manage the radio spectrum in a way that its use is optimised to the benefit of all. For this policies for the access and the usage of spectrum have to be defined while considering national and international regulations. Also technical and economical constraints arising from the intended spectrum usage have to be fulfilled. The training Strategies for Modern Spectrum Management introduces state of the art approaches and methods used to manage spectrum. Following an introduction to the international framework and the terminology defined by the Radio Regulations different strategies are discussed. The training covers the classical command and control approach as well as recent tendencies like spectrum trading. Topics like technology neutral definition of licenses, dynamic spectrum usage, cross border coordination methods, and approaches for licensing and spectrum pricing completes the seminar.
Suitable for
The focus has been laid to spectrum regulators and bigger spectrum users like telecom organisations. Nevertheless the course is also useful for consultants and all people and entities with a general interest in the field of spectrum management.

These procedures are based on regulatory requirements and have to consider physical and technical limitations of radio technology. Thus spectrum managers have to understand the impact of technology to optimise the use of the radio frequency spectrum. The seminar introduces to different physical and technical aspects of spectrum management and explains how analyses during interference and coordinating calculations are done. For technical basics like wave propagation, modulation schemes and propagation modelling are reviewed. In a second step typical coordination procedures for different radio services like Broadcast and LandMobile are detailed, and calculations and technical possibilities to avoid harmful interferences are introduced. A separate section gives insight into radio monitoring and spectrum scanning techniques.

Recommendations ITU-R P.1546 - 1812

Training Focus
1,5 Days During the last years the recommendation ITU-R P.1546 has been well established. It has mainly replaced the old recommendation ITU-R P.370 by passing a long and difficult process of changes and corrections. Nevertheless, there are still discussion points about the details in calculating field strength values inside these processes. Taking into account the fact that the ITU-R P.1546 is only a coordination model based on statistical methods and field strength curves measured a long time ago, the idea came up to develop a real physical model using complex path calculation methods. So the ITU-R P.1812 was born and since then, similar to the ITU-R P.1546, a long and hard process of collecting input and discussions about corrections started. Both recommendations have to be seen under different points of views. A pure coordination model (ITU-R P.1546) based on measurements on the one hand and a physical model (ITU-R P.1812) taking into account real diffraction effects on the other hand. Knowing details about both recommendations is a fundamental need for people dealing with broadcast planning and coordination. Getting information about the different results using one or the other recommendation is also part of this course as well asking which of both has to be used for different situations.
