Today IT industry is becoming a key sector in

national economy

The importance of radio spectrum as alimited nature resource is recognized by the

whole society

The key roles of radio regulation is to allocatethe spectrum resources rationally and to

keep the order of radio waves in the air

National Radio Regulatory Framework


12/31

The RRD (also known as the State Radio Office) is a

department of the MII with the responsibility to regulate

national radio spectrum

The State Radio Monitoring Center (SRMC) and the State

Radio Spectrum Management Center (SRSMC) are directly

under the MII, and undertake nationwide radio monitoring andprovide technical support for RRD

Organization

RRD ,SRMC&SRSMC


13/31

The local radio regulatory organization of each province

(also including autonomous regions and state-levelmunicipalities) is established in the local government,

which is responsible for the radio regulatory affairs within

that region. The local radio regulatory organization has representative

offices in every city to deal with daily work.

Currently the laws andregulations of NationalRadio Management can

be divided into four

categories.

General laws and regulations

Special regulations

International pacts andtechnical criteria

National technical standards

Laws & Regulations

Frequency Planning

To support the important government

activities

To support the sustainable development ofthe national economy

To increase the peoples life quality through

the provision of diverse ICT services

Frequency Planning


21/31

i. The Principles of Frequency Planning

ITU allocation

Domestic requirement, consistent with international

main stream technology Encouraging the use of common and open

standards, supporting the system with high

spectrum efficiency

Careful study of the EMC issues before introducing

new radio services or applications into the

Frequency Allocation Table

Frequency Planning


22/31

The Procedure of Frequency Planning

Investigating spectrum needs(e.g. market demand)

Studying technical standards(including overseasexperience, regulation and common practice)

Conducting technical experiments (for bothcommunication capability validation and EMC

analysis) Frequency planning (final decision of frequency

band, quantity,power limit, etc.)
