| Question
1 |
Should the 2500
to 2520 MHz and 2670 to 2690 MHz sub-bands be designated for the satellite
or terrestrial component of IMT-2000 within Europe? |
| Question 2 |
How much emphasis should Europe
place on frequency arrangements that could be partially implemented on a
global basis? |
| Question 3
|
Is it practical for the deployment
in a particular country to differ from that of its neighbours? |
| Question 4 |
What could the spectrum potentially
be used for in terms of applications, target markets etc? |
| Question 5 |
What are the anticipated traffic
characteristics/assumptions that should be made on aspects such as asymmetry
characteristics and whether more spectrum is required in the ‘downlink’
direction than in the ‘uplink’ direction? |
| Question 6 |
Should the core 3G spectrum
– both the licensed and the unlicensed (self-provided) bands –
be considered for potential pairings with the 2500 to 2690 MHz band, or
should they be treated separately? |
| Question 7
|
Do the boundaries between the
different ‘elements’ within the expansion spectrum need to be
fixed, apart from the position of the minimum duplex separation band and
the duplex direction? For example, does the boundary between FDD and TDD/downlink-only
need to be fixed? |
| Question 8 |
Will all terminals need to support
all scenarios for roaming (i.e. FDD, TDD and downlink only) including support
for the core 3G spectrum? |
| Question 9 |
What are your views on the timing
of the mandate deliverables, particularly for the final CEPT Report and
the ECC Decision? |
| Question
10 |
What frequency arrangements
would you like to see in the 2500 to 2690 MHz band? Alternatively, what
options should be retained for consideration and on what basis? |
The Radiocommunications Agency launched a consultation exercise on 7 October
2003 to seek views on the use of the 3G Expansion Spectrum, 2500 to 2690MHz.
Views on the following questions were sought:
