scope:

The present document specifies the minimum requirements for FDD and TDD equipment and system parameters, including parameters necessary to plan Co-existence, of broadband multipoint systems including Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) operating in the 3 1,0 GHz to 33,4 GHz frequency band (subsequently referred to as the 32 GHz frequency band). Multipoint systems include both point to multipoint (P-MP) and multipoint to multipoint (MP-MP). The 3 1,s GHz to 33,4 GHz band has been identified and designated within CEPT with an ERC Recommendation CEPT/ERC/REC 01-02 [i] on the designation of the harmonized frequency band 3 1,s GHz to 33,4 GHz for the introduction of Fixed Service (FS) including FWA and point-to-point radio relays.

The 3 1,0 GHz to 3 1,3 GHz band is available in some countries and included in the CEPT report 25. A recommendation on appropriate channel arrangements for the band is also under development within CEPT WG SE 19. The present document therefore also covers the 3 1 ,O GHz to 3 1,3 GHz band provided that the channel arrangement is based on the channel separation as stated in the CEPT/ECC/REC 02-02 [42].

The present document is applicable to system and equipment parameters required to be able to plan the radio inter-operator Co-existence of a number of possible systems operating in the 32 GHz frequency band.

The following access methods are covered:

• FDMA;

• TDMA;

• MC-TDMA.
