8 In-band interference

(1) In-band interference to a 2.3 GHz receiver, caused by a radiocommunications transmitter operated under an adjacent spectrum licence, is managed by the core conditions imposed on spectrum licences under section 66 of the Act and the device boundary criterion. (2) In-band interference to a 2.3 GHz receiver, caused by a radiocommunications transmitter operated under a transmitter licence first issued after 25 July 2015, is managed as if the transmitter were operated under a spectrum licence. The device boundary criterion should be applied to such radiocommunications transmitters, affording 2.3 GHz receivers the same level of in-band protection from apparatus licensed radiocommunications transmitters as they are afforded from radiocommunications transmitters operated under adjacent spectrum licences. (3) Application of the device boundary criterion manages in-band interference. The device boundary criterion incorporates emission limits that provide reasonable protection within the geographic area of a spectrum licence. (4) The interference management frameworks, if any are required, for radiocommunications devices operated under a class licence are contained in the relevant class licence.
