Summary of marketing plan

The Minister for Communications and the Arts has made spectrum re-allocation declarations under section 153B of Part 3.6 of the Act with respect to the 800 MHz and 1.8 GHz bands in specified geographic areas. The effect of these declarations is that the areas and parts of the spectrum referred to in the declarations are subject to re‑allocation by issuing spectrum licences. The declarations set a ‘re-allocation period’ during which time it is intended that the spectrum licences will be allocated. Any apparatus licences that came into force after 22 April 1997 in a part of the spectrum covered by a declaration will be cancelled automatically at the end of the re‑allocation period (section 153H of the Act). The Act also requires that each declaration must set a ‘re-allocation deadline’. The significance of the re-allocation deadline is that 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 If no spectrum licences are issued by the re-allocation deadline, the declaration is taken to have been revoked immediately after the deadline (section 153K of the Act).

A summary of the overall process is as follows:

  • Parts of the 800 MHz and 1.8 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. This will be at least 1 month before the date of the auction. Interested parties must register to take part in the auction before the closing date.

  • 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 payment of the spectrum access charge (subsection 62 (2) of the Act).

  • A spectrum licence will contain core conditions and conditions relating to other aspects of spectrum use (sections 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 (section 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 regarding licences that are due to expire during the 2 years before the expiry date (section 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 (sections 80, 81). Only in special circumstances will the ACA re-issue spectrum licences to existing licensees without conducting a re-allocation (section 82).

Part 1                 Preliminary

1.1           Title [see Note 1]

This Plan is called the Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (800 MHz and 1.8 GHz Bands) 1998.

1.2           Commencement

This Plan commences on 6 February 1998.

1.3           Purpose

(1)   This Plan sets out procedures and a timetable for issuing spectrum licences that authorise the operation of radiocommunications devices in those parts of the 800 MHz band and 1.8 GHz band that are subject to a re-allocation declaration.

Note   The geographic areas where the 800 MHz and 1.8 GHz bands are subject to re‑allocations include parts of the capital cities of Australia and regional and remote areas of Australia.

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

1.4           Interpretation

In this Plan:

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.

Advisory Guidelines means the following documents made by the ACA under s. 262 of the Act, as in force from time to time:

(a)    Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Protection of Apparatus-licensed Receivers — 800 MHz Band) 1998;

(b)    Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Protection of Apparatus-licensed Receivers — 1800 MHz Band) 1998;

(c)    Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Protection of Mobile Base Receivers — 1800 MHz Lower Band) 1998;

(d)    Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference from Apparatus-licensed Transmitters — 800 MHz Band) 1998;

(e)    Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference from Apparatus-licensed Transmitters — 1800 MHz Band) 1998;

(f)    Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Protection of Molongolo Observatory Synthesis Telescope) 1998.

Allocation Determination means a determination made under section 60 of the Act.

blocking means a measure of the ability of the receiver to receive a wanted signal without the output quality exceeding a specified degradation caused by the presence of a high level off-tune signal increasing the non-linearity of the receiver’s front-end.

cell means a square with a side measured in degrees, and where appropriate, minutes and seconds, by reference to the Australian National Spheroid.

geographic area, for a licence, means the area within which operation of a radiocommunications device is authorised under the licence.

in-band, for a transmitter operated under a licence, means the frequencies within a frequency band to which the licence relates.

harmful interference means interference which endangers the functioning of a radionavigation services or of other safety services or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service.

horizontally radiated power, for a radiocommunications device, means the radiated maximum true mean power, within the frequency band of the licence authorising the operation of the device, summed over all polarisations and measured in units of dBm EIRP in a direction referenced from, and in the horizontal plane containing, the phase centre of the antenna used with the device.

intermodulation immunity means a measure of the ability of a receiver to receive a wanted signal without the output quality exceeding a specified degradation caused by the presence of 2 or more unwanted signals with a specific amplitude and frequency relationship to the wanted signal frequency.

lot means a part of the spectrum described in Clause 2.2.

maximum true mean power means the true mean power measured in a 30 kHz 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 30 kHz 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.

Metropolitan area means an area mentioned in an item of Schedule 1 that is described in column 4 of the item as ‘Metropolitan’.

Outback area means an area mentioned in an item of Schedule 1 that is described in column 4 of the item as ‘Outback’.

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 5 of an item in Schedule 4.

re-allocation means the re-allocation of spectrum by the issue of spectrum licences in accordance with a re-allocation declaration.

re-allocation declaration means a declaration made by the Minister under s. 153B of the Act for a part of the spectrum in the 800 MHz band or 1.8 GHz band set out in Schedule 3 and in an area described in Schedule 2.

Regional area means an area mentioned in an item of Schedule 1 that is described in column 4 of the item as ‘Regional’.

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 emissions means emissions that are not modulation products or wide band noise or emissions caused by switching transients.

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)    a frequency band having lower and upper frequency limits defined by:

(i)    825 + n × 1 MHz and 825 + (n + 1) × 1 MHz respectively; or

(ii)    870 + n × 1 MHz and 870 + (n + 1) × 1 MHz respectively;

where n is an integer from 0 to 19 (inclusive); or

Part 2                 Allocation of spectrum licences

2.1           Issue of spectrum licences

(1)   The ACA will issue spectrum licences for the parts of the spectrum in the 800 MHz and 1.8 GHz bands that are subject to a re-allocation declaration.

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

(3)   No part of the spectrum in the 800 MHz or 1.8 GHz bands will be reserved for public or community services.

2.2           Identification of lots

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

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

(3)   The geographic area of a lot is the area described in Schedule 2 for the area number mentioned in column 3 of Schedule 4 for the lot.

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

(a)    the frequencies in the frequency range greater than the frequency set out in column 7 of an item in Schedule 4 up to and including the frequency set out in column 8 of the item; and

(b)    the frequencies in the frequency range greater than the frequency set out in column 9 of an item in Schedule 4 up to and including the frequency set out in column 10 of the item.

2.3           Allocation of lots

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

(2)   Under Subdivision B of Division 1 of Part 3.2 of the Act, the ACA will issue spectrum licences to cover the lots that have been allocated in accordance with this Plan.

2.4           How licences will be allocated

2.9           Entitlement to licence

   Except where allocation limits set out in the Allocation Determination are exceeded, a successful applicant for a lot is entitled to be issued a licence that includes the lot as soon as practicable after the final bid price is received by the ACA.

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

2.10        Sample licence

   Schedule 6 sets out:

(a)    a sample spectrum licence; and

(b)    the conditions that may be included in a spectrum licence that is issued in a part of the spectrum referred to in a re-allocation declaration.

2.11        Core licence conditions

(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.

2.12        Other licence conditions

   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).

2.13        Determination of core licence conditions

(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 band or bands described in Schedule 3 that cover the lots allocated to the licensee.

2.14        Emission limits

(1)   The emission limits outside the area for all licences are worked out in accordance with Schedule 7.

(2)   The emission limits outside the band for all licences are worked out in accordance with Schedule 8.

Note   These core conditions may be varied by the ACA with the licensee’s agreement — see s. 72 of the Act.

2.15        Duration of licences

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

Note   Section 65 of the Act provides that the maximum duration of a spectrum licence is 15 years.

2.16        Registration of licences

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

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 any requirements under Part 3.5 of the Act to have the transmitter registered have been met.

Note   see section 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 a mobile transmitter that operates:

(a)    in the 800 MHz band with a maximum radiated true mean power of 38 dBm EIRP or less; or

(b)    in the 1.8 GHz band with maximum radiated true mean power of 24.5 dBm or less; or

(c)    in the 800 MHz band that operates exclusively:

(i)    outside the limits of a town that is on the towns mobile list; or

(ii)    on a road that is not on the roads mobile list; or

(d)    in the 800 MHz band that operates exclusively at sea to communicate with a mobile receiver at sea.

2.17        Trading in licences

   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 his or her 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.

2.18        Spectrum licences that are about to expire

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

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

·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.

2.19        Re-issue of licences

(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 predetermined 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

3.1           Parts of spectrum to be spectrum licensed

(1)   The 800 MHz and 1.8 GHz bands will be included in spectrum licences in the different areas in accordance with this Plan.

(2)   However, in less populated areas of Australia, not all of the spectrum in the 1.8 GHz band will be available for allocation as spectrum licences.

3.2           Compatibility requirements

(1)   The compatibility requirements for the receivers of various apparatus licensed services in the 800 MHz band and 1.8 GHz band and in adjacent frequency bands are set out in the 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 spectrum licences and with those operating under apparatus licences.  Each licensee must ensure that the operation of their service does not cause an unacceptable level of interference to other services which they are obliged to protect.

(2)   These requirements apply to a receiver that:

(a)    operates or will operate under an apparatus licence; and

(b)    is outside:

(i)    the frequency bands of spectrum licences; or

(ii)    the geographic limits of spectrum licences; and

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

Part 3 — Geographic Area

For core condition 2, the area within which operation of radiocommunications devices is authorised by this licence is as follows:

[Description of area]

LICENCE SCHEDULE 2

CORE CONDITIONS

Frequency band

1.              This licence authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the frequency bands that consist of the contiguous range of frequencies between the upper and lower frequency limits set out in Items 9 and 10 of Part 2 of Schedule 1, respectively.

Geographic area

2.              This licence authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the geographic area set out at Part 3 of Schedule 1.

Emission limits outside the area

3.              The emission limits outside the geographic area set out at Part 3 of Schedule 1 are:

(a)    for frequency bands only containing frequencies outside the upper and lower frequency limits of the licence by the offsets set out in item 11 of Part 2 of Schedule 1 — a horizontally radiated power of P1 dBm EIRP per 30 kHz; and

(b)    for frequency bands only containing frequencies that outside the upper and lower frequency limits of the licence by the offsets set out in item 12 of Part 2 of Schedule 1 — a horizontally radiated power of P2 dBm EIRP per 30 kHz;

where:

P1 = 70 - k1 (d); and

P2 = 70 - k2 (d); and

d is the distance in kilometres of the device from the boundary of the geographic area and k1 (d) and k2 (d) are the power conversion functions set out at Items 13 and 14 of Part 2 of Schedule 1, respectively.

Emission limits outside the band

4.              For radio emission that is not spurious emission, caused by transmitters, at frequencies outside the frequency band of the licence, the emission limits outside the band are:
