Agenda Item 1.1
To consider, based on the results of the ITU R studies, possible measures to address, in the frequency band 4 800-4 990 MHz, protection of stations of the aeronautical and maritime mobile services located in international airspace and waters from other stations located within national territories, and to review the pfd criteria in No. 5.441B in accordance with Resolution 223 (Rev.WRC 19).
APG23-2 Preliminary Views
• Not necessary to apply the pfd criteria in RR. No. 5.441B
• Support the on-going ITU-R studies for this agenda item
Draft India preliminary views
WRC-19 approved WRC-23 agenda item 1.1 to review the power flux-density criteria in RR No. 5.441B in accordance with Resolution 223 (Rev.WRC-19), which invites ITU-R to study the technical and regulatory conditions for the protection of stations of the AMS and the maritime mobile service (MMS) located in international airspace or waters (i.e. outside national territories) and operated in the frequency band 4 800-4 990 MHz.
Analysis of existing practice shows that Radio Regulations provides protection for aeronautical mobile stations in the international airspace (or outside national territories) only in the frequency bands specifically allocated to aeronautical mobile (R) service, which is safety-of-life service or aeronautical mobile (or) service. For instance, protection in the international airspace for stations in aeronautical mobile (R) service provisions of Appendix 27 of the Radio Regulations applies and in aeronautical mobile (or) service provisions of Appendix 26 of the Radio Regulations applies. From the analysis of the Radio Regulations, it could be concluded that frequency band 4 800-4 990 MHz is not subject to any frequency allocation plan. As a result, there are no specific provisions to protect aeronautical stations in the Radio Regulations, which would require specific criteria or pfd value. India, therefore, proposes to remove the pfd limit from the RR footnote No. 5.441B.
Following are the preliminary views of India on this agenda item –
- Not necessary to apply the pfd criteria in RR. No. 5.441B
- Support the ongoing ITU-R studies for this agenda item
Agenda Item 1.2
To consider identification of the frequency bands 3 300-3 400 MHz (R1 & R2), 3 600-3 800 MHz (R2), 6 425-7 025 MHz (R1), 7 025-7 125 MHz (globally) and 10.0-10.5 GHz (R2) for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), including possible additional allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis, in accordance with Resolution 245 (WRC-19)
APG23-2 Preliminary Views
• Focus on 7 025-7 125 MHz only
• Support the development of APT Preliminary Views regarding the frequency bands for other Regions
• For frequency bands for R1 and R2 to discuss and consider the impact on existing services in R3 in the same and adjacent frequency bands
• Identification of 10-10.5 GHz in R2 may have a global impact on EESS (active) in 10.0-10.4 GHz
Draft India preliminary views
• India encourages the coexistence of various services in the frequency bands mentioned in this agenda item. It has been contributing towards these studies in the relevant working parties of ITU-R. India is also of the view that identification of IMT in some of the frequency bands of this agenda item may cause interference to incumbents of primary services in neighbouring regions and hence supports technical studies in this regard. In particular, it should be ensured that any IMT use of the band 6425-7025 MHz in Region 1 does not harm FSS operations in Region 3.
• India also supports the idea of economies of scale through proper spectrum harmonisation for IMT. It, therefore, will consider the outcome of studies in the frequency band 7 025-7 125 MHz in developing its position on this agenda item for this frequency band.
• Following are the preliminary views of India on this agenda item -
- Support the ongoing ITU-R studies for this agenda item
- Support IMT identification in 7 025-7 125 MHz
Agenda Item 1.3
To consider primary allocation of the band 3 600-3 800 MHz to mobile service within Region 1 and take appropriate regulatory actions, in accordance with Resolution 246 (WRC 19)
APG23-2 Preliminary Views
• More desirable to satisfy this agenda item with similar technical and regulatory conditions stated in the lower and upper adjacent frequency bands (e.g. refer to conditions in RR No. 5.430A for 3 400-3 600 MHz)
• Non-overlapping scope of agenda items 1.2 and 1.3 in the dealing with 3 600-3 800 MHz
• Allocation of 3 600-3 800 MHz to the mobile service on a primary basis within R1, should not have any adverse effect on the allocation of the existing services and their future development in R3
Draft India preliminary views
• India supports the harmonization of various frequency bands for IMT at a global and regional level. While this agenda item is for allocation of 3 600-3 800 MHz to the mobile service on a primary basis within Region 1, it is essential that necessary technical coexistence studies be carried out in ITU-R in accordance with Resolution 246 (WRC 19). Such an allocation should not adversely affect the incumbents of the existing services and their future development in Region 3.
• Following are the preliminary views of India on this agenda item –
- Support the ongoing ITU-R studies for this agenda item
- Support studies regarding any adverse effect on the existing services and their future development in R3
Agenda Item 1.4

• 1 710-1 885 MHz (1 710-1 815 MHz to be used for uplink only in Region 3);
• 2 500-2 690 MHz (2 500-2 535 MHz to be used for uplink only in Region 3, except 2 655-2 690 MHz in Region 3)
APG23-2 Preliminary Views
• Support ongoing ITU-R studies for establishing a new globally or regionally harmonised regulatory framework for HIBS
• Ensuring protection of the existing services, to which the frequency band is allocated on a primary basis
• Not imposing any additional technical or regulatory constraints in their deployment including other IMT uses, existing systems and the planned development of primary services
• No agreement was reached to send LS to AWG
Draft India preliminary views:
India supports this agenda item on HIBS, which may be used as a part of terrestrial IMT networks, using the IMT frequency bands. HIBS may be used as a part of terrestrial IMT networks to provide mobile connectivity to underserved communities, mountainous/desert terrain, and rural and remote areas where the deployment of ground-based IMT stations is either not possible or is not cost-effective. India further supports a new globally or regionally harmonised regulatory framework towards this agenda item. India also supports that any change must ensure the protection of services to which the bands are allocated on a primary basis and should not prioritise HIBS over existing IMT identifications. Accordingly, India also supports ongoing ITU-R studies for ensuring the protection of existing services in accordance with Resolution 247 (WRC-19).
Following are the preliminary views of India on this agenda item –
• While we support ongoing ITU-R studies for establishing a new globally or regionally harmonised regulatory framework for HIBS , studies carried out by India in the band 2500-2690 MHz indicate an impact of the HIBS on MSS, BSS and RDSS. Therefore, India believes that this agenda requires a careful examination with a view to protect these satellite services. Therefore We do not support 2500-2690 MHz for HIBS
• Ensure protection of existing services, to which these frequency bands are allocated on a primary basis and primary services in the adjacent frequency bands
• Not imposing of any additional technical or regulatory constraints in existing services, including terrestrial IMT stations.
Agenda Item 1.5

APG23-2 Preliminary Views
• View that conclusion to be reached on the agenda item 1.5 is a R1 issue and WRC-23 decisions shall in no way adversely affect R3 frequency allocations and existing and future use of the relevant frequency band
• Concern about possible interference from R1 future application in mobile service to existing services and applications in R3
• Heavy workload of TG 6/1 with six planned meetings on this agenda item highlighted and the complexity of future discussions of this group on different aspects expected by the meeting
Draft India preliminary views
• India notes that this agenda item is limited to Region 1 and therefore does not have a position on this agenda item. However, India supports sharing and compatibility studies, as appropriate, in the frequency band 470-694 MHz in Region 1 between the broadcasting and mobile, except aeronautical mobile services, taking into account relevant ITU-R studies, Recommendations and Reports.
• Following are the preliminary views of India on this agenda item –

To recommend to the ITU Council items for inclusion in the agenda for the next world radiocommunication conference, and items for the preliminary agenda of future conferences, in accordance with Article 7 of the ITU Convention and Resolution 804 (Rev.WRC-19)
Draft Input to WPC in preparations for APG23-3
WRC-23 Agenda topic RR No. 21.5
The applicability of the limit specified in No. 21.5 of the Radio Regulations to IMT stations that use an antenna that consists of an array of active elements, with a view to recommending ways for its possible replacement or revision for such stations, as well as any necessary updates to Table 21‐2 related to terrestrial and space services sharing frequency bands
APG23-2 Preliminary Views
• This issue is not under agenda item 9.2, which is strictly limited to the Report of the Director on any difficulties or inconsistencies encountered in the application of the Radio Regulations
• Equal rights between terrestrial IMT and space services in relation to the studies on RR No. 21.5 • APT Members encouraged to participate in the discussion of ITU-R WP 5D
• Support the ongoing ITU-R studies on the applicability of the limits specified in RR No. 21.5 to IMT stations using active antenna systems (AAS) and the verification of RR No. 21.5 regarding the notification of these IMT stations
• Views that ITU-R studies should address the matters being raised so far and prepare solutions that provide regulatory provisions/measures for the operation of terrestrial IMT and space services and their future development in a balanced and fair manner
Draft India preliminary views

| A change is necessary to clarify the application of RR No. 21.5 for fixed and mobile stations that use an antenna system consisting of an array of active elements (AAS) in the mmWave band. | No changes are necessary to RR No. 21.5 for fixed and mobile stations that use an antenna system consisting of an array of active elements (AAS) in the mmWave band. |
A suitable modification to the RR21.5:
• Is necessary to avoid adverse impact on the existing equal rights between terrestrial and space radiocommunication services in the mmWave band
• Is necessary to ensure adequate protection to satellite services
• will not hamper the development of terrestrial technologies.
| Any modification to the RR21.5:
• should avoid adverse impact on the existing equal rights between terrestrial and space radiocommunication services in the mmWave band,
• should ensure adequate protection to satellite services
• will hamper development of terrestrial technologies.

India therefore supports:
- Use of the “TRP” as the parameter to assess compliance with the Art 21.5 limit for stations that use an AAS antenna
- To establish a reference bandwidth of 200 MHz for the application of the Art 21.5 limit in the band 24.45-27.5 MHz
- Further study to establish the necessary clarifications for other frequency bands that may be used by terrestrial stations utilising AAS antennas
| India therefore supports:
- that no changes are necessary to RR No. 21.5 when considering IMT stations that may or may not use an antenna system consisting of an array of active elements for the band 24.45-27.5 GHz
- the approach of conducted power delivered by a single transmitter
