scope:

The intention of this Recommendation is to present a set of possible methods to help telecommunication providers save costs and enhance efficiency through the shared use of spectrum and telecommunication infrastructure, including the following main types of sharing:

• passive infrastructure sharing;

• active infrastructure sharing, including when enabled by aggregation of frequency bands assigned to operators who have acquired property rights over the spectrum to enable active infrastructure sharing implementation.

Aggregation of frequency bands assigned to operators, who have acquired property rights over the spectrum, which in some cases enables active infrastructure sharing implementation is addressed in ITU-R publications, such as the most recent version of Report [ITU-R SM.2404-0], Regulatory tools to support enhanced shared use of the spectrum.
