Highlights
- Working document on compatibility and sharing studies for Maritime Broadband Radio (MBR) in 5850-5900 MHz band was approved to be presented for WGSE consideration for public consultations.
- Working document with Guidelines on how to plan (Line-of-sight) LoS MIMO for point-to-point fixed service links was approved to be presented for WGSE consideration for public consultations.
- SE19 considered WGFM request on 60 GHz band.
- SE19 developed liaison statement (LS) to ETSI ATTM TM4 on new channels arrangements for systems of fixed service.
- The working document on developing fixed service above 92 GHz was updated.
Liaison Statements from/to other groups
SE19 considered the LS from WGFM to WGSE/SE19 with a request for information on the available regulatory framework and implementation status of fixed systems operating within the 57-66 GHz and possible FS with SRD outdoor shared use in 60 GHz band. SE19 noted that further clarification and additional technical information could be required to provide comprehensive answer to WGFM request. SE19 developed draft elements for a possible reply LS from WGSE to WGFM and presented it for WGSE consideration.
Taking into account that current draft revision of EN 302 217 does not include all new FS channel plans, in particular, the small channel sizes down to 25 kHz in the ECC/REC/(14)06, SE19 agreed to liaise with ETSI ATTM TM4. SE19 noted that it was also a good opportunity to inform ETSI ATTM TM4 on SE19 activity on bands above 92 GHz.
WI SE19_24: Coordinated inputs to ITU-R: WP5C
No contribution was received.
WI SE19_33: Conduct co-channel and adjacent channel studies of Maritime Broadband Radio (MBR) in the 5850-5900 MHz frequency
SE19 considered a number of comments on the working document and received contribution on compatibility study for MBR vs. FS using NFD approach. During the meeting SE19 agreed to exclude MBR with linear vertical polarization from the studies and to update calculation for the radiolocation service.
As a result SE19 finalized the drafting of the working document and decided to approve it as draft ECC Report for WGSE consideration for public consultation.
WI SE19_35: Update of Revision information related to developments in the FS, including the millimetre waves bands (frequency bands higher than 50 GHz) in CEPT
SE19 is waiting for results of the Questionnaire on revision of ECC Report 173 which was distributed by ECO. Deadline for replies is 14 October 2016.

WI SE19_36: Guideline on how to plan MIMO Fixed Service Link
SE19 had an extensive discussion on benefits which LoS MIMO can provide in reality and made appropriate amendments in the working document.
SE19 considered that the document was mature enough and decided to approve it as draft ECC Report for WGSE to consider it for public consultations. The document contains description of using MIMO technology for point-to-point fixed service links and options for interference planning.
DG leader: Sweden
WI SE19_37 and SE19_38: To facilitate the deployment of fixed services links in the frequency blocks already allocated to fixed services above 92 GHz
SE19 considered a number of input documents containing analyses of the various licensing options, views on channel arrangements for W and D bands, and also some technical considerations for D-band related to a new architectural solution (using separate Tx and Rx antennas, integrated with the equipment, as alternative to traditional physical diplexer). SE19 updated the working document accordingly.
The working document has already accumulated a lot of material. SE19 is planning to start a development of related deliverables (ECC Report/Recommendation) during next meeting.
