Transition from Legacy PPDR Land Mobile Frequency Use PPDR Applications in Hungary – the Past

Frequency Usage Migration • In 2006 nationwide assignment of 380-385/390-395 MHz band for TETRA

System Operator Pro-M

• TETRA-based EDR (Unified Digital Radio Communications System) network

• Preferred channel agreements with AUT, SVK, UKR, ROU, SRB, HRV, SVN.

• 2006-2011: Migration of land mobile PPDR radio communitations into EDR

(with very few exceptions).

• Voice and low speed data network with single channel, group call, AGA and

DMO features.

• Routing to commercial mobile networks and fixed communication lines is

possible.

Current PPDR Land Mobile communications Governmental electronic communications (including PPDR)

• Network manager: NISZ (National Infocommunications Service Co.) • Physical Cable and Optical Fiber network up to 100 Gbit/s • Fixed microwave radio links • Land Mobile element: Nationwide Narrowband PPDR (voice and

slow data) EDR TETRA network in 380-385/390-395 MHz band, Operator: Pro-M

• Harmonized PPDR frequency ranges • Narrowband and Wideband PPDR continuity in present bands • Resources for BB-PPDR – the bands identifyed for IMT • 694-894 MHz band is encouraged for BB-PPDR global

harmonization as specified in ITU-R M.2015 Recommendation • 380-470 MHz remains PPDR regional harmonization in Region 1

• Recommendation ITU-R M.2015-1(02/2015) – Regionally harmonized PPDR

• Region 1: 380-470 MHz, 380-385/390-395 MHz preferred core band, Separate DMO and AGA sub-bands in 400 MHz band • Region 2: 700 and 800 MHz band • Region 3: 400 and 800 MHz band

European Union Level • Commission implementing decision (EU) 2016/687 of 28 April 2016 on

the harmonisation of the 694-790 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems capable of providing wireless broadband electronic communications services and for flexible national use in the Union

Flexible National Use means options • in the MFCN bands:

• Possible PPDR use

• in the Guard Band and Gaps: • One national option: Supplemental Downlink (SDL) • Other national option: PPDR, PMSE and M2M

(Standard LTE channel bandwidths: 1.4; 3; 5; 10; 20 MHz) Recent opinion: for BB-PPDR Requirements LTE-Advanced (LTE Release

10+evolutions) needed, wishfully LTE Release 13 and beyond. • ECC/DEC/(15)01 (06-03-2015) – Harmonised technical conditions for

MFCN in 694-790 MHz including a paired FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) 2x30 MHz Uplink/Downlink and optional unpaired Supplemental Downlink (SDL).

In Hungary the

450-457.38 /

460-467.38 MHz

part of the band is

auctioned.

HNG proposes to

return 410-430

MHz in the ECC

DEC(16)02 to keep

national flexibility.

1.4 MHz, 3 MHz or 5 MHz

Conclusions • Expected BB-PPDR technology: LTE • CEPT/ECC: for LTE-based BB-PPDR requested min. 2x10 MHz • ITU (ITU-R M.2377-0 Report): in larger cities temporary request could

reach 45–175 MHz • Harmonized European BB-PPRD bands: Core: 700 MHz Additional: 400 MHz • 700 MHz band will be freed from Broadcasting by 2020 • CEPT/ECC prefers from 400 MHz range 450-470 MHz band only, • Hungary prefers to broaden the harmonization to

410-430 MHz and 450-470 MHz bands. • Additional technical studies initiated by HNG in CEPT/ECC for

410-430 MHz supported by AUT, HRV, LTV, SWE.
