WORKING GROUPS INVOLVED on INTERFERENCE THREATS TO AVIATION
SYTEMS and PREVENTION Mainly:
ITU-R 8B : Maritime, GMDSS, Aeronautical Mobile Service and radiodetermination (radiolocation & radionav.) service
ITU-R 8D : All mobile services and radiodetermination satellite services
But also : ITU-R 8F : IMT-2000 and beyond ITU-R 4B : Fixed satellite service and performances, satellite news
gathering CEPT , e.g. SE and FM groups
Study work-items usually result in Recommendations , approved by Radio Assemblies
Usually initiated by WRCs , but also directly triggered by ITU-R study groups

ACCOMPLISHED work : ITU-R Rec. SM 1535
Object: The protection of safety services from unwanted emissions
Recognizing Safety services need special attention:States are obligated under R.R. 4.10, to take
measures to insure freedom of harmful interferenceProtect the reception of weak signals against out-of-
band and spurious emissions from other systemsNeed to Complement general R.R emission limits by
standards or applicable ITU-R RecommendationsRelevant to Aviation are ITU-R M.441, 960,1234,
1317,1318,1463,1464,1342 S.1342 and SM 1009

ITU-R Rec. SM 1535 re “safety services protection” (cont’d)
General safety criteria for the protection of aeronautical services Need for quantitative harmful interference threshold specific to ea.
system based on appropriate safety criteria Technical planning criteria to provide interference protection:
• Usually available within aviation to prevent interference between aeronautical systems, but,
• Generally absent for non-aviation services and systems• Consequently ea. potential non-aeronautical interfering system needs
individual attention
Well known sources of man-made emissions and interference include:• LF/MF AM broadcasting• Video-cable distribution system• Industrial, scientific and medical equipment• Power(utility) line distribution

5 GHZ band sharing between ARNS/MLS and FSS feeder links to for non GSO
Rec. ITU-R S.1342 : set coordination trigger distance for MLS vs FSS/feederlink, in the 5 Ghz band (5091-5150 MHz)
MSS is co-primary in the 5091-5150 Mhz since WRC-95
distance trigger for mandatory coordination is 243 NM (450 km) or less
• Also MLS range triggers for o-o-b and in-band interference susceptibility, Roob and Rin
Consider mitigation factors :• look for site-specific blocking and FSS filtering

Electronic news gathering/outside broadcasting sharing with the 2.7-2.9 GHz ARNS Radar band
CEPT/ECC developed an ad-hoc Recommendation, which is not yet at ITU-R level
Background: ENG/OB in Europe has been forced out of bands now allocated to land mobile services (IMT-2000) and is being digitized
Two potentially interfering mechanisms Overloadd Rcvr’s front-end causing saturation/gain loss Generated 3rd order intermod products falling within radar IF band
Work study reported in CEPT/ECC Report 006 and ECC REC (02)09, allowing band-sharing on conditions: Nationally, with exclusion zones, 10 Km radar-centered Required coordination in case ENG/OB exceeds a specific threshold of
– 2dBµV/m, within or at a country borders Note : in co-channel case, the threshold trigger distance exceeds radio-
horizon Only a few European countries are proposing this band sharing

Feasibility study of MSS terminal sharing with GPS/L1 and GLONASS
WRC-97 considered an MSS co-primary allocation: To Mobile Satellite Service (INMARSAT-proposed Horizon) With RNSS in the band 1559-1567 MHZ
That conference adopted Res 220 to study: Technical criteria Operational and safety requirements in order to determine if sharing btwn RNSS, GPS/L1 and GLONASS ,
in 1559-1610 MHz, and MSS , in 1559-1567 was feasible
WRC-2000, on the basis of a.m. study concluded : The required PFD level to protect RNSS cannot be met by the proposed
MSS system terminals Conclusion: sharing not possible to protect present and future GNSS

RNSS/GNSS and ARNS/DME Band sharing decided at WRC-03
WRC-2000 introduced a co-primary allocation to RNSS: In the DME sub-band 1164-1215 MHz With a provisional PFD limit : -115 dBW/m2 in any 1 Mhz
Invited ITU-R , under Res 605 to study, for WRC-03: appropriate technical, operational and regulatory matters to confirm compatibility btwn RNSS and ARNS(DME) Including the determination of an aggregate PFD limit
WRC-03 endorsed ITU-R studies done since WRC-00, in particular The principle and value of an aggregate (several RNSSs)
equivalent PFD at -121.5 dBW/m2/MHz Radio-Comm. Assembly-03 approved Rec M.1642, giving:
Methodology to assess max aggregate ePFD for all contemplated RNSS systems (GPS/L5 + GALILEO + 3 others)

LINK MARGIN FOR SAFETY OF LIFE SERVICES
Need to set aside adequate transmission link margin has long been recognized within ITU: For radio navigation service, typically 6 to 10 dBs Critical for SOL applications to mitigate RF interference easily not quantifiable
but real Rec M. 1318 deals with RNSS protection in the band 1559-1610:
” extra margin of protection” against factors like multipath ARNS: A prior Rec. IS .1009 recalls :
ICAO adopted 8 dB safety margin for ILS =>to verify system performance with RFI and ILS carrier reduced by safety
margin RNSS/GNSS uses wideband modulation, ARNS/ILS and MLS narrowband:
Critical factor is C/N and the Satellite carrier is relatively fixed contrary to LIS and MLS
If RFI is reduced by 6 dB , the C/N is up by only 2.5 dB vs 6dB for ILS & MLS Rec M. 1343 defines a 5.6 dB margin for RNSS protection against non-
aeronautical RFI

CONSIDERATIONS ON SAFETY MARGIN SIZING : REC ITU-R M.1477
Allowable aggregate RFI from non-aeronautical : must be significantly below the design interference theshold 6 DB value for aeronautical services is in line with other safety services Needed to account for all aeronautical design uncertainties
-140 dB(W/MHz) design threshold for SBAS Receiver for CAT I precision approaches
Hence a Threshold of -146 dB(W/MHz) for all non-aeronautical aggregate interference
Note : a GNSS RCVR in acquisition mode it is 6 dB less immune Additionnal margins may be required, depending on:
Operational requirements including accuracy, availability of service, continuity and integrity
Configuration of RNSS including augmentations Future source of RFI

INTERFERENCE RISK ALLOCATION AND SAFETY COMPLIANCE
Interference allocation : the methodology employed for communication networks design is not acceptable as based on service unavailability (in the few % range)
Aeronautical systems must be designed to handle very rare events ,of the order of 1x10^-6 / hour
Any ARNS/RNSS proposal must include failure modes analysis
And must address how to maintain overall safety performance despite ageing

The UWB challenge : compatibility with existing radiocommunication services
Ultra Wideband System: Transmist low power radio signal with Very short duration (order of few ns even less)
ITU groups involved in the UWB studies:
Question ITU-R 226/1: Spectrum management framework related to the introduction of ultra-wideband devices;
- Question ITU-R 227/1: Compatibility between ultra-wideband devices and radiocommunication services
4 Working groups have been set-up: WG 1 collects and documents key features, - WG 2 is addressees UWB compatibility issues; - WG 3 prepares a spectrum management framework as guidance to
Administrations; - WG 4 develops appropriate measurement techniques for UWB emissions

Compatibility study between FM broadcasting and aeronautical systems,
GBAS and VDL Mode 4 WRC-03 permitted the use of the band
108-117.975 by ARNS GBAS and aeronautical VDL Mode 4
It restricted the use of the band to the upper sub-band 112-118 Mhe
The “opening” of the lower sub-band is dependant upon study results:Compatibility of a.m. systems with FM
broadcasting, analog and digital format

NEW STUDY ITEM : Feasibility of using statistical and operational aspects to define
radar protection criteria At its November 2003 meeting ITU-R Working Party 8 B
discussed the feasability of the use of statistical and operational aspects in the protection criteria for radio-determination radar systems.
During the ITU-R study period 2000-2003, WP 8B conducted several studies related to the compatibility between radio-determination radar systems and other services/systems
The objective of this work programme is to identify protection criteria for radar systems taking into account statistical and operational aspects of radar systems and other relevant parameters

CONCLUSIONS
The Aviation community benefits from ITU-R work aiming at establishing protection criteria for safety-related services
And should participate fully to the work of ITU groups By bringing in “real” operational experience A value of 6 dB margin of safety is the minimum widely
accepted within ITU-R and ICAO fora. The study-item on feasibility of a statistical approach to
set radar protection ratios should receive full attention and participation from ICAO members
