  • criteria on this received signal level is sufficient to protect the vast majority of AWS-1 users from interference. With respect to the -95 dBm signal level, we note that our calculations assume a reference bandwidth of 5 megahertz. However, in standards documents, protected signal levels are generally referenced to a bandwidth of 3.84 MHz. For example, the standards 3GPP TS 25.133 & 304 (pg.15) indicate: 1. for an FDD cell, the measured primary CPICH RSCP value shall be greater than or equal to -95 dBm/3.84 MHz and 2. for a TDD cell, the measured P-CCPCH RSCP shall be greater than or equal to -84 dBm/3.84 MHz. For a signal bandwidth of 3.84 megahertz, the bandwidth correction factor would be 1.15 dB

D. Construction Completion Requirement for Satellite Mobile Earth Stations Currently, Section 25.133(a) of the Commission's rules requires each earth station licensee to complete construction of its earth station within one year of the date the license is granted. In cases where we have authorized multiple satellite mobile earth station terminals (METs), it is not clear that any policy goal is served by requiring the licensee to construct all the METs authorized within

  • recognize that our streamlined licensing process for CSATs contains an initial lead authorization and a mechanism that provides for the subsequent notification of additional earth stations to the CSAT network. As a result, subsequent CSAT earth terminals will be coordinated, constructed, and brought into operation at various times after the lead authorization is granted. Therefore, the trigger to invoke Section 25.133(a) may be different for each terminal under the CSAT authorization. We find that the date of notification to the Commission for a particular CSAT earth station is a reasonable point at which to begin a due diligence period for construction of such a station. Accordingly, we conclude that, consistent with the Commission's current rules requiring an earth station to be
