EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1 INTRODUCTION

This ECC Decision on harmonised technical conditions for mobile/fixed communications networks (MFCN) in
the 26 GHz (24.25-27.5 GHz) band reflects the objective of CEPT to harmonise the 24.25-27.5 GHz band for
Europe for 5G.

Studies have taken into account the compatibility with and protection of all existing services, including their
future deployments, in the same and adjacent frequency bands.

2 BACKGROUND

CEPT recognises the importance of a harmonised frequency arrangement for MFCN and the need of common
and minimal Least Restrictive Technical Conditions (LRTC) for MFCN in the band 24.25-27.5 GHz, including
to ensure protection of other services and applications.

The following principles have been considered to define the MFCN frequency arrangement:

 Facilitating roaming and cross-border coordination to achieve global economies of scale for equipment;
 Use of a 200 MHz block size approach which is in line with the mobile systems foreseen to be used in
the 26 GHz band;
 Spectrum efficiency and high level of flexibility in order to adapt to national circumstances as well as to
meet the changing need and demand for capacity in time and geography.

The implementation of this ECC Decision will encompass different stages at the national level (e.g. national
consultation processes and update of existing authorisations as required) with a varying complexity depending
on the legal and regulatory framework of each country. The harmonised technical conditions for MFCN set out
in this decision have been developed on the basis that the authorisation regime is expected to be on an
individual authorisation basis. Individual authorisation may cover both nationwide licensing and licensing on a
smaller geographic basis than nationwide. ECC Report 317 [2] provides information and guidance to assist
administrations who are considering authorisation regimes for 24.25-27.5 GHz other than individual rights of
use.

In the 26 GHz band, MFCN will support mainly urban and suburban hotspot areas. The deployment of MFCN
is expected to target only cells with a small range. Due to the characteristics of this frequency band, there is
no expectation that it will be used for contiguous wide/nationwide coverage of MFCN areas. There may be a
need for a limited number of hotspots in rural areas. MFCN at 26 GHz could be deployed indoor and outdoor.

The protection of the passive Earth Exploration-Satellite Service (EESS) requires the introduction of
appropriate limits on unwanted emission power in the band 23.6-24 GHz, applying to MFCN operating in the
band 24.25-27.5 GHz. Additionally, the protection of Radio Astronomy Service (RAS) observations in the 23.6-
24.0 GHz band will require the implementation of suitable separation distances between RAS stations and
MFCN transmitters on a case-by-case basis.

Based on the harmonised technical conditions included in this ECC decision, coexistence with satellite data
relay systems (including EDRS - European Data Relay System), operating under inter-satellite service (ISS),
and with FSS satellite service are feasible when considering assumed technical and operational characteristics
for MFCN.

A regular assessment of the evolution of MFCN system characteristics, including network deployments, in a
timeline consistent with the 5 years review process of the Decision, or sooner if necessary, will provide
additional confidence that these LRTC ensure adequate protection of other services, in particular space
services.

In a number of CEPT countries, fixed point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links are in operation in the 24.5-
26.5 GHz band. The band is also heavily used in many countries to deploy fixed point-to-point backhaul links
for cellular networks and governmental usage.

Coexistence issues between fixed links and MFCN in the 26 GHz frequency band will be managed at national
level or through the cross-border coordination framework and do not impact the harmonised technical
conditions as defined in this Decision. ECC Report 303 [3] provides guidance to administrations for coexistence
between 5G and fixed links in the 26 GHz band ("Toolbox")".

CEPT administrations need to maintain, with appropriate provisions in their authorisation for MFCN, the
possibility for existing and future EESS/SRS earth stations in the 25.5-27 GHz band and FSS earth stations in
the 24.25-25.25 GHz band to use their respective bands and to safeguard their future operations taking into
account the Radio Regulations. ECC Recommendation (19)01 [4] provides a technical toolkit to support the
introduction of 5G while ensuring, in a proportionate way, the use of existing and planned EESS/SRS receiving
earth stations in the 26 GHz band and the possibility for future deployment of these earth stations. ECC
Recommendation (20)01 [5] provides guidelines to support the introduction of 5G while ensuring, in a
proportionate way, the use of existing and planned FSS transmitting earth stations in the frequency band
24.65-25.25 GHz and the possibility for future deployment of these earth stations.

For cases other than synchronised MFCN operations, administrations may define appropriate mitigation
measures to be applied in case of unsynchronised or semi-synchronised operations, taking into account ECC
Report 307 [6] which provides a Toolbox for the most appropriate synchronisation regulatory framework
including coexistence of MFCN in 24.25-27.5 GHz in unsynchronised and semi-synchronised mode.
Alternatively, administrations may further develop and use an appropriate block edge mask at national level.

ECC Report 309 [7] analysed usages of aerial UE in current MFCN harmonised bands. No studies have been
done for the 26 GHz frequency band yet.

WRC-19 agreed a two-step approach for unwanted emission limits from IMT operated in the 26 GHz band into
the 23.6- 24 GHz band. The approach is based on initial limits (−33 dBW/200 MHz TRP for base stations and
−29 dBW/200 MHz TRP for terminal stations) for early deployments, followed by more stringent final limits
(−39 dBW/200 MHz TRP for base stations and −35 dBW/200 MHz TRP for terminal stations) which apply to
new installations after a specified date 2. The two-step approach is based on an assumption that mass-market
deployments will not occur during the initial step and therefore the aggregate emissions from MFCN
deployment will remain below the EESS protection requirement.

Those protection limits are less stringent than initial harmonised limits from this ECC Decision (July 2018). The
application of first-stage limits in CEPT will ensure the timely availability of MFCN equipment and facilitate
faster investments in infrastructure. Second-stage limits, together with the requirement (as described in
Resolution 242 (WRC-19) [9]) that no high-density mobile systems including high-density fixed wireless access
shall be deployed in an appropriate frequency range below 23.6 GHz, ensure an adequate protection of the
EESS (passive) and RAS within the 23.6-24 GHz frequency band.

After the transition period, CEPT assumes that the final limits in Resolution 750 (Rev. WRC-19) [8]
(−39 dBW/200 MHz TRP for base stations and −35 dBW/200 MHz TRP for terminal stations) will provide
protection of the EESS (passive) in the band 23.6-24.0 GHz only on the condition that it can be ensured
through regulatory provisions that there will be no deployment of high-density mobile systems including high-
density fixed wireless access in the frequency band 22-23.6 GHz.

CEPT agreed on an earlier date of 1 January 2024 as transition from the initial limits to the final limits, in order
to avoid the risk of interference to EESS (passive) from large-scale MFCN deployments and to provide
regulatory certainty and a clear signal to industry of the target to develop solutions.

WRC-19 also agreed on some other conditions to ensure protection of incumbent services as outlined in
Resolution 242 (WRC-19) [9].

2 Resolution 750 (Rev. WRC-19) [7] specifies that the final unwanted emission limits apply to base stations and mobile stations brought
into use after 1 September 2027

3 REQUIREMENT FOR AN ECC DECISION

The ECC recognises that implementation of MFCN including IMT-2020/5G systems in CEPT countries
providing high data rate applications in the band 24.25-27.5 GHz based on a harmonised frequency
arrangement and least restrictive technical conditions will reduce development and implementation costs of
manufacturing equipment and will secure future long term investments by providing economies of scale. A
harmonised frequency arrangement will reduce complexity in cross-border coordination. The opportunity to
utilise larger channel bandwidths will assist the provision of high data rates.

The ECC recognises that for the continuation of the successful development of MFCN including IMT­2020/5G,
the regulatory framework needs to provide the confidence and certainty for industry to make the necessary
investment. ECC recognises that administrations need flexibility to adapt their use of the band 24.25-27.5 GHz
to national circumstances due to the current fixed links usage. Furthermore, administrations need to maintain
the possibility of existing and future earth stations (EESS/SRS and FSS) to operate.

The ECC also recognises the need to include relevant technical conditions for MFCN including IMT-2020/5G
to ensure protection of the EESS (passive) sensors in the 23.6-24.0 GHz band, as well as ISS and FSS stations
within the 24.25-27.5 GHz band. Additionally, the protection of RAS will require the implementation of suitable
separation distances between RAS stations and MFCN transmitters on a case-by-case basis.

ECC DECISION OF 6 JULY 2018 ON HARMONISED TECHNICAL CONDITIONS FOR MOBILE/FIXED

COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS (MFCN) IN THE BAND 24.25-27.5 GHZ (ECC DECISION (18)06),
CORRECTED 26 OCTOBER 2018, AND LATEST AMENDED 20 NOVEMBER 2020

“The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations,

considering

a) that MFCN for the purpose of this Decision includes IMT-2020/5G and other mobile and fixed
communications networks;

b) that harmonised technical conditions (including a harmonised frequency arrangement) will support the
implementation of MFCN in this band and facilitate global roaming, economies of scale and reduce the
cost of equipment;

c) that the use of contiguous blocks of spectrum for MFCN reduces equipment complexity and provides a
more efficient use of spectrum compared to the use of fragmented, non-contiguous blocks of
spectrum;

d) that for a single MFCN network a contiguous block of 800-1000 MHz is desirable to enable the full
capabilities of IMT-2020/5G systems;

e) that differences in the market demand for spectrum for MFCN and different authorisation regimes
across CEPT countries is likely to lead to different timescales concerning the introduction of MFCN in
the band 24.25-27.5 GHz;

f) that some administrations may wish to implement MFCN in parts of this frequency band on a
progressive basis depending on national market demand;

g) that in many CEPT administrations the 26.5-27.5 GHz frequency range is less used by incumbent
systems than the 24.5-26.5 GHz frequency range;

h) that therefore, initial MFCN deployments in many CEPT administrations are expected in the 26.5-
27.5 GHz frequency range;

i) that the block edge mask (BEM) concept has been developed by CEPT to facilitate implementation of
spectrum rights of use which are as technology neutral as possible;

j) that the technical conditions related to coexistence with other services attached to this Decision have
been developed on the assumption of an individual authorisation framework and ECC Report 317 [2]
provides information and guidance to assist administrations who are considering authorisation regimes
for 24.25-27.5 GHz other than individual rights;

k) that it is beneficial to synchronise MFCN operating in the same location (avoid simultaneous uplink and
downlink transmissions) since this would increase the efficient usage of spectrum;

l) that the technical conditions for co-existence between adjacent MFCN systems in the 26 GHz band have
been developed based on the assumption of synchronised operation and ECC Report 307 [6] provides
a Toolbox for the most appropriate synchronisation regulatory framework including coexistence of
MFCN in 24.25-27.5 GHz in unsynchronised and semi-synchronised mode;

m) that the 26 GHz band will mainly be used for urban and suburban hotspot areas; however there may
be a need for a limited number of hotspots in rural areas; it is not expected that the band will be used
for contiguous wide/nationwide coverage of MFCN;

n) that a regular assessment of the evolution of MFCN system characteristics, including network
deployments, in a timeline consistent with the 5 years review process of the Decision, or sooner if
necessary, will provide additional confidence that these LRTC ensure adequate protection of other
services, in particular space services (see Resolution 242 (WRC-19) [9]);
ECC/DEC/(18)06 Page 5

o) that ECC Recommendation (19)01 [4] provides a technical toolkit to support the introduction of 5G
while ensuring, in a proportionate way, the use of existing and planned EESS/SRS receiving earth
stations in the 26 GHz band and the possibility for future deployment of these earth stations;

p) that ECC Recommendation (20)01 [5] provides guidelines to support the introduction of 5G while
ensuring, in a proportionate way, the use of existing and planned FSS transmitting earth stations in the
frequency band 24.65-25.25 GHz and the possibility for future deployment of these earth stations;

q) that most sharing studies have shown that Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) and the Inter-Satellite Service
(ISS) would be protected with a margin of more than 12 dB, based on agreed assumptions, and it will
be necessary to ensure that these services remain protected (see considering n);

r) that for outdoor base stations the pointing elevation of the main beam should normally be below the
horizon, and also the mechanical pointing needs to be at or below the horizon;

s) that coexistence issues between fixed links and MFCN in the 26 GHz frequency band will be managed
at national level or through the cross-border coordination framework;

t) that the protection of the Earth Exploration-Satellite Service (EESS) (passive), requires the
introduction of appropriate limits of unwanted emission power in the band 23.6-24 GHz, applying to
MFCN operating in the band 24.25-27.5 GHz; additionally the protection of RAS will require the
implementation of suitable separation distances between RAS stations and MFCN transmitters on a
case-by-case basis;

u) that WRC-19 introduced global unwanted emission limits (‘protection limits’) applicable in two stages
to IMT base stations and IMT mobile stations in the 26 GHz frequency band for the protection of the
EESS (passive) in the 23.6-24.0 GHz frequency band;

v) that there is need for an earlier transition from the initial limits to the final limits in order to avoid the
risk of interference to EESS (passive) from large-scale MFCN deployments in that band and to provide
regulatory certainty and a clear signal to industry of the target to develop solutions;

w) that in order to ensure the appropriate protection of the EESS (passive) and the RAS in the 23.6-
24.0 GHz frequency band, Resolution 242 (WRC-19) [9] recognises that the frequency bands immediately
below the passive frequency band 23.6-24 GHz are not intended to be used for high-density mobile
applications;

x) that the protection of the EESS (passive) in the band 50.2-50.4 GHz and 52.6-54.25 GHz is ensured
by the existing generic spurious limits of -30 dBm/MHz applying to base stations;

y) that the coverage of outdoor hotspots has been assumed in sharing studies to be achieved with the
deployment of base stations communicating with terminals on the ground and a very limited number of
indoor terminals with positive elevation, resulting in an elevation of the main beam of outdoor base
stations normally below the horizon, thus with high discrimination towards the satellites;

z) that ECC Report 309 [7] analyses the usage of aerial UEs for communication in current MFCN
harmonised frequency bands, but has not studied the 24.25-27.5 GHz frequency band. Due to its
specific characteristics and usage, the 24.25-27.5 GHz MFCN band is not to be used for connectivity
from base stations to aerial UEs. In addition, the connectivity from aerial UEs to base stations may
have a significant impact, e.g. on separation distance from EESS/SRS earth stations, which requires
further study. These aerial UE operations should not be an obstacle to the deployment of future
EESS/SRS earth stations;

aa) that in EU/EFTA countries the radio equipment that is under the scope of this Decision shall comply
with the RE Directive [10]. Conformity with the essential requirements of the RE Directive may be
demonstrated by compliance with the applicable harmonised European standard(s) or by using the
other conformity assessment procedures set out in the RE Directive.

ANNEX 1: HARMONISED FREQUENCY ARRANGEMENT FOR THE BAND 24.25–27.5 GHZ

 The frequency arrangement is a TDD arrangement with a block size of 200 MHz;
 This block size could be adjusted to narrower blocks (multiples of 50 MHz) adjacent to other users, to allow
full use of spectrum, if required (see Annex 2);
 If blocks need to be offset to accommodate other uses, this shift should be done in 10 MHz steps.

ANNEX 2: LEAST RESTRICTIVE TECHNICAL CONDITIONS (LRTC) FOR THE MFCN SYSTEMS

The technical conditions presented in this annex have been developed on the basis that the authorisation
regime is expected to be on an individual authorisation basis. These conditions include provisions related to
the coexistence between MFCN systems in the form of block edge masks (BEMs), i.e. related to spectrum
licensing and the avoidance of interference between users of spectrum, as well as provisions related to the
coexistence with EESS (passive) in the form of unwanted emission limits in the bands 23.6-24 GHz.

A BEM is an emission mask that is defined, as a function of frequency, relative to the edge of a block of
spectrum that is licensed to an operator. It consists of components which specify the permitted emission levels
in adjacent blocks (transitional region 0-50 MHz below or above operator block) and non-adjacent blocks in
the band.

The technical conditions derived below for the frequency range 24.25-27.5 GHz are optimised for, but not
limited to, fixed/mobile communications networks (two-way). Therefore, they are derived both for base stations
(BS) and terminal stations (TS). The BEMs have been developed to ensure coexistence with other MFCN
blocks, as well as other services and applications in adjacent bands. Additional measures may be required at
a national level to achieve coexistence with other services and applications.

BASE STATION

The MFCN Base Station (BS) BEM consists of a baseline level, designed to protect the spectrum of other
MFCN operators as well as emission limits to protect adjacent services (additional baseline level(s)), and
transitional levels for coexistence between MFCN networks in adjacent blocks.

Table 1 contains the different elements of the BS BEM, and Table 2 to Table 4 contain the power limits for the
different BEM elements.

To obtain a BS BEM for a specific block the BEM elements that are defined in Table 1 are used as follows:

 Transitional regions are determined, and corresponding power limits are used;
 For remaining spectrum assigned to MFCN, baseline power limits are used;
 For protection of services in adjacent bands, additional baseline is used.
For MFCN base stations, baseline requirements and requirements for transitional regions in Table 2 and Table
3 assume synchronised operation. Operators of mobile/fixed communications networks (MFCN) in the 24.25-
27.5 GHz band may agree, on a bilateral or multilateral basis, less stringent technical parameters provided
that they continue to comply with the technical conditions applicable for the protection of other services,
applications or networks and with their cross-border obligations. Administrations should ensure that these less
stringent technical parameters can be used, if agreed among all affected parties.

configuration, the in-block power or the penetration of equipment
