Outline
• Harmonised spectrum and harmonised
standards in the EU
• EC mandate on Reconfigurable Radio
Systems
• ETSI BRAN and RRS work towards HS
• Conclusions


Smarter radios do not negate
the need for harmonisation!
•

•

•

Every different
spectrum band
supported adds
cost and complexity
to a device
Benefits of scale as
important to an
agile radio than to a
dumb radio
Piecemeal
approaches in
individual countries
will not enable
investment and
market emergence

Favourable
regulatory

providers

Affordable device and

Harmonised standards in the
EU
• Harmonised standards in the EU are intended to
streamline the market entry of radio and
telecom equipment
• HS is developed by one or several of the three
ESOs based on a mandate from the European
Commission
• Under the Radio & Telecom Terminal Equipment
(R&TTE) regime, a manufacturer can pursue
market entry through fulfilling the requirements
of a Harmonised Standard
• HS are listed in the Official Journal of the EU,
and the ones under the R&TTE support one or all
of the essential requirements of the directive

Why R&TTE?
Take advantage of the entire EU single market

Benefits of scale

Place products directly

Demonstrate compliance with Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE)

Fast placing on the market

Free movement

Show conformance to the relevant European harmonised standard

Compliance with R&TTE

No need for notified bodies

EC goal on spectrum sharing

Licenceexempt sharing
• In bands already allocated
for LE
• Promotes innovation
• Internet of Things

Licensed
Sharing (LSA)
• Based on sharing
agreement between
incumbent and new user
• Regulatory guarantees
• Quality of Service

EC Communication on shared
used of spectrum: next steps
• Identify BSOs (beneficial sharing
opportunities) in both licensed and licenceexempt frequency bands
• Consider making sufficient licence-exempt
spectrum, harmonised at EU level, available
for wireless innovations
• Define, in cooperation with Member States,
a common path towards enabling more
sharing possibilities, based on contractual
agreements between users

Submitted to ETSI, CEN and
CENELEC in October 2012
Aims to bring together
commercial, military and
public safety areas in RRS
Sufficiently innovative –
informs what level of
awareness ESOs need to
have to produce something
that has a role of making
regulatory framework
available for these devices
Two year process to develop
harmonised standards for the
commercial side
– drafts end of ‘13, ready
end of ‘14

Geolocation databases
• Under the R&TTE, GLDB is a component, similarly to
software component
– It has an interface to WSD, that is a radio equipment
• In the case of interference, end user must not be liable
– In the absence of HS, the NRA needs to find a single
entity that the responsibility lies with
• Harmonised standard removes the ambiguity through
having a regulatory status that the manufacturers can
refer to
– GLDB-to-WSD interface falls under the HS for RRS
• How to manage device circulation in the EU?
– Master WSD has to connect to relevant GLDB

Geolocation databases and
harmonisation
• Country borders are areas where different
regulatory requirements meet
– Bilateral coordination sets the limits
– GLDB in one country has only information
on the regulatory requirements of that
country
– Interoperability in providing full
information to a device is important
• This applies both to the GLDB-to-WSD (under
HS) and GLDB-to-GLDB interface

Key messages
• Dynamic use of spectrum does not need to
be opportunistic on regulatory and
standards side
• Clear framework brings benefits in accessing
single European market
