The increase in new Low Earth Orbit satellite constellations has resulted in a surge of compatibility studies being carried out to understand how Non-Geosynchronous Orbit (NGSO) and Geosynchronous Orbit satellites (GSO) can coexist. The issue has arisen from the demand in new high speed broadband services but also the cost of producing and launching satellites into orbit reducing greatly in recent years. There are many complexities in solving the compatibility between NGSO and GSO systems due to the muti-dimensional and highly dynamic nature of both systems. We will focus on the main technical parameters and calculations that are used to determine the unacceptable levels of interference. The course will look across the different services including MSS, FSS (BSS) but also protection of EESS in a range of frequency bands. This course will also touch upon the two approaches to Direct to Device services. This is the use of Mobile Satellite Service spectrum but also Mobile Service spectrum bands. We will cover the implications and challenges of adopting each approach and how regulations will need to evolve to support these approaches. Course Objectives After completing the course, participants will be aware of the technical complexities of conducting compatibility studies that take place within the ITU.

The radio spectrum is a limited resource that has to be shared between different services, technologies, users and countries. It is the task of regulatory authorities to manage the resource and to optimize its use. International frameworks provide the basis for spectrum management, however knowledge of the characteristics of the radio spectrum and technologies that use it are necessary for these frameworks to be translated into realizable policies and practices at a national and regional level. This course provides an overview of the goals of spectrum management as well as delivering an understanding of the specific characteristics of different parts of the radio spectrum and how this impacts its utility and value. The use of different spectrum bands is discussed, together with a consideration of the way in which historic and new radio technologies use spectrum and the techniques being considered to maximize efficiency and sharing. Different facets of spectrum management and regulation are explained. The course explores assignment and planning methods from the classical command and control techniques to developments in economic techniques such as pricing, trading and auctions. It takes a look at techniques such as spectrum sharing and dynamic access and licensed shared access to help understand what failings of existing techniques they are seeking to redress. Course Objectives After completion of the course, participants will understand how the radio spectrum is used, and approaches to its management and regulation with respect to setting certain policies. They will have extended their knowledge of spectrum management and will have been updated on the latest techniques and processes being employed.

The planning rules for radio services often leave small gaps which cannot be used or the scattered use of spectrum by a primary user leaves larger opportunities. Such spectrum might be accessible for different or additional radio services, typically ones with very low power which will not cause undue interference to the primary users. These opportunities were referred to as ‘whitespaces’ but the focus more recently considers methods such as dynamic spectrum assignment. In addition, regulatory techniques are trying to find ways to make sharing spectrum a more common practice for use across a myriad of spectrum services. This course examines the background to whitespaces, considering how and where they arise and looks at a range of sharing opportunities. It then focuses on how spectrum might be made available to additional parties, and what kind of communications it might support. Finally, the various regulatory methods and technologies (including DSA/LSA and the role of databases) being considered will be examined. Course Objectives After completing the course, delegates will understand the history of whitespaces, and the more recent opportunities for sharing together with methods to regulate usage. Current developments and case studies will also be provided. Intended for those who need to understand the regulation and practical application of advanced sharing techniques, whether from a regulatory or commercial perspective.

5G is driven both by the need for mobile operators to continuously strive to satisfy the growing and unquestionable demand for mobile data, and to support new use cases and services. Regulators and governments have been involved in establishing policies and approaches to award spectrum, so that new 5G services can be rolled out to consumers, enterprises, public sector and government agencies alike. Questions remain about how much more spectrum is needed for 5G but also for what spectrum is needed for 6G which is due for commercialization in the early 2030’s. When it comes to the question of spectrum however, there are many different views about how growth in data traffic impacts upon demand for radio spectrum. It is also evident that below 6 GHz there is very little spectrum remaining that can be re-farmed for mobile services and much of the focus for new spectrum for future mobile (6G) services is concentrated above 6 GHz. How feasible is it to deliver mobile services at such high frequencies? Are there ways to use existing spectrum more efficiently, or are technologies such as LTE and 5G Advanced already very close to the limit of what is achievable? Course Objectives After completing the course, participants will have an understanding of how the evolution towards new standard cellular technologies 5G and 6G has meant identifying new spectrum, or at least one new band. Participants will also understand the practical utilization of ever increasing frequencies in a mobile environment, and whether 6G might mark the end to the hunger of mobile operators for more spectrum. Intended for Those who need to better understand the spectrum implications of 5G and 6G  technologies, whether from a regulatory, commercial or technical perspective. Contents Forecasts of demand for data services Realistically forecasting spectrum demand Bands capabilities and issues with existing IMT bands New bands being considered for 5G and 6G services Propagation and coverage of bands above 6 GHz The spectrum efficiency of existing IMT technologies The 5G ecosystem A roadmap for the evolution of 5G services towards 6G Authorization of mobile spectrum About LS telcom: LS telcom is a global leader in technologies and consulting services for efficient radio spectrum use, optimizing spectrum management to ensure reliable, interference-free, and secure radio services.

At its heart, radio spectrum management is essentially a technical discipline, overlaid by strategic and economic considerations. One of the main technical goals of spectrum management is to control interference between radio users so as to optimize the use of the spectrum. Controlling interference is not straightforward and requires the balancing of many factors and undertaking this balancing act requires expert skills. This course describes the necessary theoretical, practical and physical qualities of the radio spectrum including the specifics of wave propagation. Following a review of technical fundamentals such as modulation, antennas and propagation modeling, the course considers the characteristics of different parts of the radio spectrum, and examines in detail the different uses to which it is put. The course then discusses why specific uses are often associated with particular radio frequencies and reviews the technical capabilities and limitations of today’s RF technologies. Interference mechanisms and coordination procedures are explored, together with an understanding of how the performance of radio equipment affects interference and coverage. Finally, detailed explanations of the specifics of the most common radio communication services including broadcast, land mobile, fixed and satellite services are given. Course Objectives After completing the course, participants will have a full understanding of the technical and physical issues which impact spectrum management. In addition, they will have deepened their technical knowledge of different radio services and will understand the principles behind controlling interference and the coordination procedures.  Intended for This course is intended for those interested in the technical aspects of spectrum management. This includes those working in a technical function at regulators as well as in telecommunications and broadcasting companies and in organizations with a need for strong technical knowledge.
