Summary of marketing plan

The Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts has made a designation under s.36 and a declaration under s.153B of the Radiocommunications Act 1992 about the 28 GHz and 31 GHz bands. The effect of these documents is that:

• the spectrum in the 28 GHz band, and the unencumbered spectrum in the 31 GHz band, is subject to allocation by issuing spectrum licences; and
• the part of the spectrum in the 31 GHz band that is affected by apparatus licences is subject to re-allocation by issuing spectrum licences.

The declaration of the spectrum in the 31 GHz band sets a “re-allocation period” during which it is intended that the spectrum licences will be allocated. Any apparatus licences that came into force after 1 February 1998 in a part of the spectrum covered by a declaration will be cancelled automatically at the end of the re-allocation period (s.153H of the Act).

The Act also requires that each declaration must set a “re-allocation deadline”. This deadline is significant because where a re-allocation declaration states that a part of the spectrum should be re-allocated by issuing spectrum licences, at least 1 licence must be issued by the re-allocation deadline. If no spectrum licences are issued by the deadline, the declaration is taken to have been revoked immediately after the deadline (s.153K of the Act).

A summary of the overall process for both bands is as follows:

• Parts of the 28 GHz and 31 GHz bands have been divided into lots for sale. The lots consist of a geographic area and a particular bandwidth. It is intended that these lots will be allocated and become the subject of spectrum licences.
• Allocation will be by way of a simultaneous ascending auction (details are in the Allocation Determination).
• The ACA will advertise details of the auction as soon as practicable after this Plan is published. Interested parties must register before the closing date to take part in the auction.
• The successful applicant for a lot will be entitled to have a spectrum licence issued that includes the lot as soon as practicable after the ACA has received payment of the final bid price for the lot and the spectrum access charge (s.62 (2) of the Act).
• A spectrum licence will contain core conditions and conditions relating to other aspects of spectrum use (ss.66-71 of the Act). An example of a spectrum licence is attached.
• The licence will come into force on the day specified in the licence, and will be in force for the period set out in the licence (s.65 of the Act). This period cannot be longer than 15 years. The ACA intends that all licences for a particular band be in force for 15 years.
• The ACA will publish information on licences that are due to expire during the 2 years before the expiry date (s.78 of the Act). Current licensees will also receive periodic reminders that their licence is due to expire.
• Re-allocation of licences will be by way of price based allocation (ss.80, 81). Only in special circumstances will the ACA re-issue spectrum licences to existing licensees without conducting a re-allocation (s.82).

PART 1‑PRELIMINARY

Title

1.1 This Plan is called the Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (28 GHz and 31 GHz Bands) 1998.

Commencement

1.2. This Plan commences on 11 November 1998.

Purpose

1.3. (1) This Plan sets out procedures for issuing spectrum licences that authorise the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 28 GHz band and the 31 GHz band, and the conditions that will be included in those licences.

Note: [NOTE: The 28 GHz band is being allocated and the 31 GHz band is being re-allocated - see the designation under s.36 of the Act and the re-allocation declaration under s.153B of the Act made by the Minister. Copies are available from the ACA]

(2) This Plan also sets out matters a licensee must take into account in operating devices under a licence.

Interpretation

1.4. In this Plan:

Act means the Radiocommunications Act 1992.

adjacent channel selectivity means a measure of the ability of the receiver to receive a wanted signal without the output quality exceeding a specified degradation due to the presence of an unwanted adjacent channel signal.

maximum true mean power means the true mean power measured in a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth that is located within a specified frequency band such that the true mean power is the maximum of true mean powers produced.

[NOTE: The power within a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth is normally established by taking measurements using either an adjacent channel power meter or a spectrum analyser. The accuracy of measuring equipment, measurement procedure and any corrections to measurements necessary to take account of practical filter shape factors would normally be in accordance with good engineering practice.]

mean power means the average power measured during an interval of time that is at least 10 times the period of the lowest modulation frequency.

narrowband emissions means emissions that are not broadband emissions;

narrow beamwidth receiver means a receiver using an antenna with a half-power beamwidth that does not exceed 5 degrees in any plane through the axis of the main beam of the antenna;

narrow beamwidth transmitter means a transmitter using an antenna with a half-power beamwidth that does not exceed 5 degrees in any plane through the axis

of the main beam of the antenna;

outdoor, for a fixed transmitter, means a fixed transmitter that is not an indoor fixed transmitter;

peak power means the average power measured within a specified bandwidth during 1 radio frequency cycle at the crest of the signal envelope;

population means the notional population of a lot, fixed by the ACA and set out in column 3 of Schedule 1 opposite the number of the lot;

radiated power, for a radiocommunications device, is specified in units of dBm

and means the product of:

(a) the maximum true mean power, within the frequency

band of the licence authorising the operation of the device; and

(b) the maximum antenna gain relative to an isotropic antenna.

spectrum map grid means the map grid developed by the ACA for Australia, showing cells the sides of which measure 3 degrees of arc, 1 degree of arc or 5 minutes of arc, published by the ACA;

spurious response immunity means a measure of the ability of the receiver to discriminate between the wanted signal at its nominal frequency and an unwanted signal at any frequency at which the receiver responds;

standard trading unit (STU) means a parcel of spectrum space that consists of a geographic area equal to a cell of the spectrum map grid and a frequency band having lower and upper frequency limits defined by:

(a) 27.5 + n x 0.05 GHz and 27.5 + (n+1) x 0.05 GHz respectively,
where n is an integer from 0 to 16 (inclusive); or
(b) 31 + n x 0.05 GHz and 31 + (n+1) x 0.05 GHz respectively,
where n is an integer from 0 to 5 (inclusive).

true mean power means:

(a) if an unmodulated carrier is present - the mean power measured while the unmodulated carrier is present; and
(b) if an unmodulated carrier is not present - the mean power measured while transmitted information is present.

wide beamwidth receiver means any receiver that is not a narrow beamwidth receiver;

(2) A reference to the allocation of a lot includes a reference to the re-allocation of a lot.

PART 2‑ALLOCATION OF SPECTRUM LICENCES

Issue of spectrum licences

2.1. (1) The ACA will issue spectrum licences for the 28 GHz and 31 GHz bands.

[NOTE: Apparatus licences are in force for part of the 31 GHz band, and spectrum licences for that part will be issued by way of re-allocation.]

(2) The ACA will issue the licences to the persons to whom the licences are allocated under a price-based allocation system determined under section 60 of the Act.

(3) No part of the spectrum in the 28 GHz and 31 GHz bands will be reserved for public or community services.

Identification of lots

2.2. (1) The ACA has divided into lots the parts of the spectrum that have been designated or declared for allocation by the Minister.

(2) Each lot represents a part of the spectrum that is defined in terms of its geographic area and frequency bands.

(3) The geographic area of a lot is the area described in Schedule 2 for the lot.

(4) Each lot has the same bandwidth. The frequency bands of a lot that has the geographic area mentioned in a table in Schedule 2 comprise:

(a) 850 MHz in the band from 27.5 GHz to 28.35 GHz; and

(b) 300 MHz in the band from 31 GHz to 31.3 GHz.

Allocation of lots

2.3. (1) Lots will be allocated and will then become the subject of spectrum licences.

(2) After the lots have been allocated in accordance with this Plan, the ACA will issue spectrum licences under section 62 of the Act.

How lots will be allocated

2.4. (1) The first allocation will be by simultaneous ascending auction, in accordance with the procedures set out in the Allocation Determination.

Note: [NOTE: The Determination sets out the procedures for allocating spectrum licences by a simultaneous ascending auction.]

(2) All of the lots listed in Schedule 1 will be available for auction at the same time.

(3) The ACA may hold further allocations by a means to be determined by the ACA under section 60 of the Act.

(4) However, the ACA will not hold an auction if:

(a) the total amount of bandwidth nominated for each area by all applicants for the area is not more than the bandwidth available for the area; and

(b) the ACA offers each applicant a licence for a bandwidth, in the area nominated by the applicant, at the starting bid price; and

(c) each applicant accepts the licence offered or withdraws from the allocation process.

Note: [Note: In this case, the ACA will allocate the licences for a pre-determined price - see Part 3 of the Radiocommunications (Spectrum Licence Allocation) Determination (No. 2) 1998.]

Lot ratings

2.5. (1) Each lot has a lot rating.

(2) The lot rating is the rating fixed by the ACA for each lot by:

(a) multiplying the population of the lot and the bandwidth of the lot in MHz;

(b) then dividing the result by 100,000;

(c) then rounding down to the nearest whole number.

(3) The lot rating for a lot is the value set out in column 4 in Schedule 1 for the lot.

(4) The lot rating is used as the basis for working out the eligibility payment payable by an applicant, and the applicant’s initial eligibility. Details of these are in clauses 2.6 and 2.7 of the Allocation Determination.

Advertising auction

2.6. (1) The ACA will advertise details of the auction as soon as practicable after this Plan is published.

(2) Details of the advertisement are set out in clause 2.2 of the Allocation Determination.

Registration

2.7. (1) The advertisement will invite people to apply to register for the auction.

(2) The ACA will send interested people an Applicant Information Package that contains more detail about registration requirements and the auction process. Details of what is in the Package are in clause 2.3 of the Allocation Determination.

(3) Anyone wishing to take part in the auction must apply to register by the closing date in the advertisement. Details of how to apply are in clauses 2.4 and 2.5 of the Allocation Determination.

Amount of eligibility payment

2.8. An applicant for registration must pay an eligibility payment. The amount of eligibility payment payable is based on the eligibility nominated by the applicant in the application for registration.

Note: [Note: To find out how the eligibility payment is worked out see clause 2.7 of the Allocation Determination.]

Entitlement to licence

2.9. A successful applicant for a lot is entitled to be issued a licence for that lot as soon as practicable after the final bid price is received by the ACA.

Note: [Note: Details of payment requirements are in Part 5 of the Allocation Determination.]

Sample licence

2.10. Schedule 3 sets out:

(a) a sample spectrum licence; and

(b) the conditions that may be included in a spectrum licence that is issued for spectrum in the 28 GHz and 31 GHz bands.

Core licence conditions

2.11. (1) Section 66 of the Act requires a licence to contain core conditions that define the parts of the spectrum that can be used under the licence, in terms of:

(a) frequency band; and

(b) geographic area; and

(c) emission limits outside the area; and

(d) emission limits outside the band.

(2) These conditions will be included in the licence.

Other licence conditions

2.12. The licence will also include conditions about:

(a) payment of charges (section 67 of the Act); and

(b) use by third parties (section 68); and

(c) registration of transmitters (section 69); and

(d) other matters that the ACA may include in the licence (section 71).

Determination of core licence conditions

2.13. (1) The core conditions for the geographic area of a licence will apply to the area or the aggregation of areas described in Schedule 2 that cover the lots allocated to the licensee in the allocation under section 60 of the Act.

(2) The core conditions for frequency bands will apply to the bands that cover the lots allocated to the licensee.

[NOTE: Each lot has the same bandwidth see clause 2.2.]

Emission limits

2.14. (1) The emission limits outside the area for all licences are worked out in accordance with Schedule 4.

(2) The emission limits outside the band for all licences are worked out in accordance with Schedule 5.

Note: [NOTE: These core conditions may be varied with the licensee’s agreement - see s. 72 of the Act.]

Duration of licences

2.15. The licences issued under this Plan will be for fixed terms of 15 years.

Note: [NOTE: S.65 of the Act provides that the maximum duration of a spectrum licence is 15 years.]

Registration of licences

2.16. (1) The ACA will register licences, as required by section 144 of the Act.

Note: [NOTE: Details about registration are in the Radiocommunications (Register of Radiocommunications Licences) Determination 1997.]

(2) Each spectrum licence will include a condition that prohibits operation of a transmitter unless the requirements under Part 3.5 of the Act to have the transmitter registered have been met.

[NOTE: see s.69 of the Act.]

(3) Transmitters that are part of a group of transmitters may be registered individually or as a group.

(4) The ACA does not propose to register mobile transmitters or fixed indoor transmitters.

Trading in licences

2.17. As permitted by Division 5 of Part 3.2 of the Act, a licensee may assign or otherwise deal with the whole or any part of the licence. The ACA will determine rules under section 88 of the Act to regulate trading in licences. The rules will restrict trading to whole standard trading units.

Spectrum licences that are about to expire

2.18. (1) As required by section 78 of the Act, the ACA will publish notices periodically in the Gazette:

(a) stating where information can be obtained about spectrum licences that are due to expire within the next 2 years; and

(b) inviting expressions of interest from people who want to have these licences issued to them.

(2) The information will also be available from any of the ACA’s Area Offices.

(3) The ACA will also send licensees regular reminders during the last 2 years of the term of their licences that the licences are due to expire.

Re-issue of spectrum licences

2.19. (1) The ACA will re-issue licences, in accordance with Division 4 of Part 3.2 of the Act.

(2) As a general rule, licences will only be re-issued after the lots they cover are offered for re-allocation by auction, tender, or pre-determined or negotiated price. In re-allocating the licences, the ACA will follow the procedures set out in the determinations made under section 60 of the Act that are in force at the time.

(3) However, as set out in section 82 of the Act, the ACA may re-issue a licence to the previous licensee without re-allocating the licence if it is in the public interest to do so.

(4) Spectrum licences that are re-issued are unlikely to take the same form as originally issued as the spectrum lots may be divided and distributed differently. Licensees should not assume that they will be re-issued with their existing licence.

PART 3SPECTRUM USAGE AND COMPATIBILITY

Compatibility Requirements

3.1. (1) The compatibility requirements for the receivers of various non-spectrum licensed services in the 28 GHz band and 31 GHz band and in adjacent frequency bands are set out in Advisory Guidelines. The substance of these requirements and recommended methods of coordinating radiocommunications services to be operated in spectrum licensed space are also set out in the Advisory Guidelines. The Advisory Guidelines provide a means of coordinating services operating under spectrum licences with other services operating under other licences. Each licensee must ensure that the operation of their service does not cause interference to other services which they are obliged to protect.

(2) These requirements apply to a receiver that:

(a) operates or will operate under a non-spectrum licence; and

(b) is outside:

(i) the frequency bands of spectrum licences; or

(ii) the geographic areas of spectrum licences; and

(c) operates inside the frequency bands and geographic areas to be subject to spectrum licenses.

SCHEDULE 3 continued

LICENCE NOTES

Variation to licence conditions

1. The ACA may, with the written agreement of the licensee, vary this licence by including 1 or more further conditions, or revoking or varying any conditions of the licence provided that the conditions as varied still comply with the requirements of Subdivision C of Division 1 of Part 3.2 of the Act.

2. The ACA may, by written notice given to the licensee, vary a licence by including 1 or more further conditions or revoking or varying any non core conditions of the licence provided that the licence as varied complies with the requirements of Subdivision C of Division 1 of Part 3.2 of the Act.

Guidelines

3. The ACA has issued written Advisory Guidelines under section 262 of the Act about:

(a) co-ordinating the operation of transmitters under this licence for non-spectrum-licensed receivers:

• Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Protection of Non-spectrum-licensed Receivers - 28 GHz and 31 GHz Bands) 1998; and

(b) co-ordinating the operation of non-spectrum licensed transmitters with receivers operated under spectrum licences:

• Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference from Non-spectrum-licensed Transmitters - 28 GHz and 31 GHz Bands) 1998.

4. The guidelines should be read in conjunction with the relevant Determination made under s. 145(4) of the Act setting out the unacceptable levels of interference for the purpose of the registration of transmitters to be operated under this licence. The guidelines should be followed by licensees (and accredited persons) before operating transmitters. The ACA intends to afford protection to receivers in accordance with the guidelines in the settlement of interference disputes. Copies of the guidelines are available from the ACA.

The suspension and cancellation of spectrum licences

5. The ACA may by written notice given to a licensee suspend or cancel a spectrum licence where the ACA is satisfied that the licensee, or a person authorised by the licensee to operate a radiocommunications device under the licence, has contravened a condition of the licence, or in any other way contravened the Act, or operated a radiocommunications device under the licence, or purportedly under the licence, in contravention of any other law (whether written or unwritten) of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory or in the course of contravening such a law.

SCHEDULE 3 continued

LICENCE NOTES continued

Re issue

6. A spectrum licence may not be reissued to the same licensee without a price-based allocation procedure unless:

• the ACA is satisfied under subsection 82(1) of the Act that special circumstances exist as a result of which it would be in the public interest for that licensee to continue to hold that licence; or
• the licensee provides a service of a kind determined by the Minister under subsection 82(3) of the Act for which reissuing licences to the same licensees would be in the public interest.

Trading

7. A licensee may assign or otherwise deal with the whole or any part of a spectrum licence provided that this is done in accordance with any rules determined by the ACA under section 88 of the Act.

An assignment under section 85 of the Act of the whole or any part of a licence that involves any change to a licence does not take effect until the ACA has been advised of the changes and the Register of Radiocommunications Licences in respect of spectrum licences has been altered accordingly.

Appeals

(ii) greater than 50 MHza radiated maximum true mean power of
\-15 dBm EIRP per 1 MHz; and

(iii) within the range 49 MHz to 50 MHza radiated peak power of

-1 dBm EIRP measured within a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth.

SCHEDULE 5 continued

2. Narrowband emission

For radio emission that is:

(a) narrowband emission; and
(b) caused by a transmitter operating under a spectrum licence issued for the 28 GHz or 31 GHz bands; and
(c) at frequencies outside the frequency band of the licence;

the emission limit outside the band is a radiated mean power of:

(d) -36 dBm EIRP measured within a 100 kHz rectangular bandwidth that is within the band 9 kHz to 1 GHz; and
(e) -30 dBm EIRP measured within a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth that is within the band 1 GHz to 18 GHz; and
(f) for wide beamwidth transmitters -7 dBm EIRP measured within a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth that is within the band 18 GHz to 37 GHz; and
(g) for narrow beamwidth transmitters 14 dBm EIRP measured within a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth that is within the band 18 GHz to 37 GHz.

3. Receivers

For radio emission that is:

(a) caused by receivers operating under spectrum licences issued for the 28 GHz or 31 GHz bands; and
(b) at frequencies outside the frequency band of the licence;

the emission limit outside the band is a radiated mean power of:

(c) -57 dBm EIRP measured within a 100 kHz rectangular bandwidth that is within the band 9 kHz to 1 GHz; and
(d) -47 dBm EIRP measured within a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth that is within the band 1 GHz to 18 GHz; and
(e) for wide beamwidth receivers -17 dBm EIRP measured within a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth that is within the band 18 GHz to 37 GHz; and
(f) for narrow beamwidth receivers 4 dBm EIRP measured within a 1 MHz rectangular bandwidth that is within the band 18 GHz to 37 GHz.

4. For this Schedule, a level of emission outside the band is to be estimated with a level of confidence not less than 95 percent that the true level of emission remains below the relevant emission limit.

5. For the purposes of paragraph 4, the level of emission is to be estimated after taking into account:

(a) the kind of antenna; and

(b) the kind of equipment used with the antenna; and

(c) the location and immediate physical environment in which the antenna

operates.
