4. The long lead time needed for the introduction of major new services
necessitates the requirement of long term planning. This is often conducted in the
absence of certainty with respect to whether the envisaged new services will actually
come to market. For example, the first global allocation of spectrum for third
generation (3G) mobile services, then known as FPLMTS (Future Public Land
Mobile Telecommunications System) was agreed to at the International
Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) World Administrative Radiocommunication
Conference in 1992, about 18 years before the entry into commercial operation of the
service. However, the preparatory work in various international bodies began
considerably earlier than that.
PREFACE
Radio frequency spectrum & satellite orbits including geostationary satellite orbits are scarce
natural resource, susceptible to harmful interference and are international in character since radio
waves cannot be confined to national boundaries. Like any other natural resource it cannot be owned
but used/ shared amongst countries, services, users, technologies, etc without any element of
exclusiveness. No ownership of any frequency band is conferred on any entity. It’s essential these
scarce resources be used rationally, optimally, efficiently and economically so that equitable access
could be available to large radiocommunication networks in an interference free radio environment.
National Frequency Allocation Plan, 2011 (NFAP-2011) has been evolved /developed after a
series of meetings held with all the stakeholders, Government Departments, Private entities including
telecom equipment manufacturer. The salient features of NFAP-2011 are:
It is hoped that NFAP-2011 will provide the basis for development, manufacturing and spectrum
utilization activities in the country, both for government and private sectors.
1. Introduction............................................................................................................... i
4.2 Further, this NFAP has made certain provisions for new technologies/
applications like ultra wideband devices, Short range low power devices,
intelligent transport system, E Band, etc . The broad definitions of these
technologies are given below:
4.2.1 Ultra Wideband (UWB): UWB is a short range low power technology that
will enable a range of applications such as WPANs (information technology /
multimedia entertainment / consumer applications), public protection,
construction, engineering, science, medical and transportation. Its low energy
feature enables unique coexistence properties that allow UWB to operate as an
unlicensed wireless technology in presence of other licensed service without
causing harmful interference to them. This feature has the effect of increasing
spectral efficiency by enabling reuse of spectrum. These devices will also
implement next generation cognitive concepts such as Detect and Avoid (DAA)
to ensure coexistence with primary users.
5.1 The ITU regions 1, 2 and 3 in the World map are defined as per below
ii
Region 1: Region 1 includes the area limited on the east by line A (lines A,
B and C are defined below) and on the west by line B, excluding any of the
territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran which lies between these limits. It
also includes the whole of the territory of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russian
Federation, Georgia, Kazakstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey and Ukraine and the area to the north of
Russian Federation which lies between lines A and C. (RR5.3)
Region 2: Region 2 includes the area limited on the east by line B and on
the west by line C. (RR 5.4)
Region 3: Region 3 includes the area limited on the east by line C and on
the west by line A, except any of the territory of Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Russian Federation, Georgia, Kazakstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey and Ukraine and the area to
the north of Russian Federation. It also includes that part of the territory
of the Islamic Republic of Iran lying outside of those limits. (RR-5.5)
Line A: Line A extends from the North Pole along meridian 40° East of
Greenwich to parallel 40° North; thence by great circle arc to the
intersection of meridian 60° East and the Tropic of Cancer; thence along
the meridian 60° East to the South Pole. (RR-5.7)
Line B: Line B extends from the North Pole along meridian 10° West of
Greenwich to its intersection with parallel 72° North; thence by great circle
arc to the intersection of meridian 50° West and parallel 40° North; thence
by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 20° West and parallel 10°
South; thence along meridian 20° West to the South Pole. (RR-5.8)
Line C: Line C extends from the North Pole by great circle arc to the
intersection of parallel 65° 30 North with the international boundary in
Bering Strait; thence by great circle arc to the intersection of meridian 165°
East of Greenwich and parallel 50° North; thence by great circle arc to the
intersection of meridian 170° West and parallel 10° North; thence along
parallel 10° North to its intersection with meridian 120° West; thence
along meridian 120° West to the South Pole. (RR-5.9)
6 When more than one services are listed as having same status, order of
their listing does not indicate any relative priority among such services.
iii
7 The Terms and Radio services used in the NFAP-2011 are the same as
contained in the Article 1 of Radio Regulations (Edition 2008). The definitions of
these Terms and Radio Services are given below:
7.3 Primary Services: services the names of which are printed in “capitals”
(example: FIXED); these are called “primary” services (RR-5.25);
7.4 Secondary Services: services the names of which are printed in “normal
characters” (example: Mobile); these are called “secondary” services (RR-Nos.
5.26)
iv
7.9 Space radiocommunication: Any radiocommunication involving the use
of one or more space stations or the use of one or more reflecting satellites or
other objects in space.
7.15 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC): Time scale, based on the second (SI),
as defined in Recommendation ITU-R TF.460-6. (WRC-03) For most practical
purposes associated with the Radio Regulations, UTC is equivalent to mean solar
time at the prime meridian (0° longitude), formerly expressed in GMT.
7.16 Industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications (of radio frequency
energy) : Operation of equipment or appliances designed to generate and use
locally radio frequency energy for industrial, scientific, medical, domestic or
similar purposes, excluding applications in the field of telecommunications.
v
7.19 Assignment (of a radio frequency or radio frequency channel):
Authorization given by an administration for a radio station to use a radio
frequency or radio frequency channel under specified conditions.
7.27 Land mobile service: A mobile service between base stations and land
mobile stations, or between land mobile stations.
7.29 Maritime mobile service: A mobile service between coast stations and ship
stations, or between ship stations, or between associated on-board
vi
communication stations; survival craft stations and emergency position-
indicating radiobeacon stations may also participate in this service.
7.32 Ship movement service: A safety service in the maritime mobile service
other than a port operations service, between coast stations and ship stations, or
between ship stations, in which messages are restricted to those relating to the
movement of ships. Messages which are of a public correspondence nature shall
be excluded from this service.
vii
7.37 Aeronautical mobile-satellite (OR)** service: An aeronautical mobile-
satellite service intended for communications, including those relating to flight
coordination, primarily outside national and international civil air routes.
viii
7.49 Radiolocation-satellite service: A radiodetermination-satellite service used
for the purpose of radiolocation. This service may also include the feeder links
necessary for its operation.
7.58 Radio astronomy service: A service involving the use of radio astronomy.
ix
7.59 Safety service: Any radiocommunication service used permanently or
temporarily for the safeguarding of human life and property.
x
Alexander Graham Bell was
an eminent scientist,
inventor, engineer and
innovator who is credited
with inventing the first
practical telephone. His
research on hearing and
speech further led him to
experiment with hearing
devices which eventually
culminated in Bell being
Graham Bell
awarded the first U.S.
patent for the telephone in
1876.
