Translation of "Niveau de sensation dans la bande " (French → English) :

The coherent situation in the 700 MHz frequency band in all ITU regions offers a rare opportunity for near-global harmonisation of this frequency band for wireless broadband use.

In order to ensure that radio equipment uses the radio spectrum effectively and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum, radio equipment should be constructed so that: in the case of a transmitter, when the transmitter is properly installed, maintained and used for its intended purpose it generates radio waves emissions that do not create harmful interference, while unwanted radio waves emissions generated by the transmitter (e.g. in adjacent channels) with a potential negative impact on the goals of radio spectrum policy should be limited to such a level that, according to the state of the art, harmful interference is avoided; and ...[+++], in the case of a receiver, it has a level of performance that allows it to operate as intended and protects it against the risk of harmful interference, in particular from shared or adjacent channels, and, in so doing, supports improvements in the efficient use of shared or adjacent channels.

Trends in the ambient noise level within the 1/3 octave bands 63 and 125 Hz (centre frequency) (re 1μΡa RMS; average noise level in these octave bands over a year) measured by observation stations and/or with the use of models if appropriate (11.2.1).

Moreover, the inventory could use data provided, on a voluntary basis, by Member States and private parties who monitor spectrum on a permanent basis to manage the spectrum at local level, to cross-check the validity of licensing data, determine usage density in certain types of authorisation schemes such as license-exempt bands and evaluate the level of spectrum usage throughout the Union in particular for bands in high demand.

This includes the bands identified at ITU level for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) Advanced systems, as well as bands used for radio local area networks (RLAN) such as 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

However, it should be understood that the derived BEMs do not always provide the required level of protection of victim services and additional mitigation techniques would need to be applied in a proportionate manner at national level in order to resolve any remaining cases of interference, also with respect to adjacent bands.
