Example approach for determination of the composite area within which interference to fixed service stations from earth stations on board vessels when operating in motion near a coastline would need to be evaluated
The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly considering a) that the World Radiocommunication Conference (Istanbul, 2000) (WRC-2000) adopted Resolution 82 (WRC-2000) concerning provisions for earth stations on board vessels (ESVs) operating in the bands 3 700-4 200 MHz and 5 925-6 425 MHz; b) that resolves 1 and 2 of that Resolution calls for ITU-R to urgently study regulatory, technical and operational constraints which would need to be applied to ESV operations, including those transmitting in the 14 GHz band; c) that the use of ESVs will not require coordination when operating beyond a minimum distance from shore within which there is a potential for causing unacceptable interference to stations in the fixed service (FS); d) that there is a need for ESVs operating within the minimum distance referred to in considering c) to not cause unacceptable interference to terrestrial stations; e) that ESVs have preliminary technical characteristics such as those described in Recommendation ITU-R S.1587.
