On-Going Activities in the CEPT (European Spectrum Regulation) for Applications in Transport and Traffic Telematics including Sensors
Interactive Workshop on Scalable Active Sensor Architectures, 24-26 February 2015, Ulm, Germany
Thomas Weber, ECO, Spectrum Management
Content
• Organisation in CEPT dealing with TTT applications incl. sensors
• Overview ERC Recommendation 70-03 Annex 5
• On-going activities for TTT applications
• On-going activities for ITS
• 63-64 GHz
• Frequency regulatory status of applications
• Ultra-Wideband
On-going Activities in Europe for TTT• ERC Recommendation 70-03 Annex 5 approved for public consultation on 13 February
2015. Stramlines the regulatory terminology. Introduces a definition for automotive radar: Automotive radar is defined as a moving radar device, at ground or sea level, and
supporting functions of the vehicle.
• Be aware that:
76-77 GHz includes also infrastructure radars in the current regulation; it’s also used at railway level crossings or airplanes during taxiing
On-going compatibility studies in CEPT between automotive and fixed infrastructure radars (incl. ETSI creating new harmonised standard for fixed infrastructure radars)
Helicopter radar anti-collision application operating in 76-79 GHz
New results can be used in the next update of the EC Decision for Short Range Devices
Note: 5.9 GHz 24 GHz, 63-64 GHz, 76-77 GHz, 77-81 GHz are covered by several EC Decisions
On-going activities in Europe for ITS (Intelligent Transportation systems)
• Revision of ECC Decision (08)01 and ECC Recommendation (08)01 – Target: relaxed unwanted emission limits
• ITS not restricted to road vehicles
• Regulators consider other transportation applications should share the ITS frequencies such as Urban Rail Systems (based on an analysis) – also future ITS applications-> driverless vehicles / autonomous systems
• New EC Mandate on urban transportation under development
• Co-existence issues with road tolling (several technical solutions) and on-going studies under 5 GHz Mandate from the EC (RLAN)

63-64 GHz
• Identified since 1992, covered by ‘ITS regulation’ but can also be used by sensors
• Harmonised in EC Decision for SRDs and ECC Decision (09)01
• Subject to review NOW
• No implementations (or near future) implementations in the market known (although there is a work item for revision of the harmonised European standard and information in ITU-R)
• Competing interests (e.g. unlicensed FWA) -> the band is available worldwide under general authorisations
• Regulators have asked ETSI to provide information (if any): if nothing ‘tangible’ is provided, there is a chance that the band can get lost for automotive applications
Status in Frequency regulation
• ITS entries in frequency tables recognized as application in the mobile service (5.9 GHz, 63-64 GHz)
• All other entries recognized as ‘short range devices’, under Art. 4.4 of the Radio Regulations, i.e. no protection status, no connection to any radio service allocation
• World Radio Conference 2015 Agenda item 1.18 to consider a primary allocation to the radiolocation service for automotive applications in the 77.5-78.0 GHz frequency band in accordance with Resolution 654 (WRC-12). Conference preparatory actions continue discussions on whether the new allocation to the radiolocation in the band 77.5-78 should be generic or restricted through a footnote to radar systems described in ITU-R Recommendation M.2057. No agreement reached yet. AI 1.18 relevant for some administrations outside Europe before they implement 77-81 GHz SRR. Example Japan: today: 78-81 GHz SRR.
• SRD status also provides an advantage: issues not linked to WRC (more flexible)• ‘De-facto protection’ when importance in the market (see road tolling)
Outside of Europe
• ITU-R Report M.2153 or regional reports such as APT Report 35 (see in www.afis.dk) reveal that there are still a considerable number of countries having not implemented certain regulatory provisions to allow car sensors
• Ultra-wideband: only Europe having a regulatory section for ‘vehicle use’ – many differences worldwide, e.g. mitigation techniques (see also the following page). CEPT Report 45 provides an overview of the vehicle related provisions -> 6th Update SRD (permanent mandate)
• 76-77 GHz: In 2011-14, a considerable number of countries introduced regulations for 77 GHz SRR: Canada, USA, Mexico, China, India, Japan (may increase in near future to 1 GHz), Korea, Singapore.
• CEPT prepares input to ITU-R WP1B June 2015 to foster additional harmonisation (under RESOLUTION 54)
• 77-81 GHz is THE major issue in international harmonisation (e.g. FCC proposing part 95 inclusion, not part 15)
