What is IIC/TARDyS/S3?

Mark GibsonDirector, Business Development

Informing Incumbent CapabilityA Better Way to Protect Federal Incumbents

July 26, 2021

Protection of Naval Radar Operations

Dynamic Protection Areas (DPAs) & Associated Neighborhoods Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) Sensor Locations

© 2021 CommScope, Inc. | CommScope Restricted–Highly Confidential12

Portal-protected Ground-based Radars


The Issue

• While effective, the ESC sensing system for Naval radar detection must be protected from in-band and adjacent band interference, which limits access to broadband spectrum for nearby operations of:

– CBRS– Upcoming 3.45 GHz Service

• This affects millions of Americans in coastal regions

• May also limit 3.45 GHz access


“Whisper Zones”


There are better and proven alternatives that are more effective and would have essentially zero impact to CBRS and 3.45 GHz spectrum availability.

The Solution• Instead of sensing radar operation, DoD informs

industry where and when they require protection

• Generally referred to as Informing Incumbent Capability (IIC)

• Lightweight industry-provided IIC successfully deployed in American Samoa and allowed complete CBRS spectrum availability in less than 60 days (NTIA Letter to FCC, Dockets 15-319 and 17-258)

• A federally-provided IIC is currently under consideration by NTIA

• Similar systems are also under development at DISA under a program called Telecommunications Advanced Research and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing Systems (TARDyS3) Tool Suite

Incumbent Informing Capability (IIC)• IIC will be a mechanism for more efficiently

managing interference between “incumbent” federal users and “new entrant” non-federal and federal users that would be dynamically sharing spectrum in a given band

• IIC has several potential benefits including:– Support for mid-band spectrum sharing– Reduced dependence on environmental sensing– More secure and reliable operations– Improved incumbent control of real-time

spectrum usage information

• DoD would use the IIC to schedule the time and frequency span for each episodic use

Spectrum Coordination System Commercial

Spectrum Operator


NTIA IIC Vision

• Federal users would provide data on when they would use spectrum; data would be used to coordinate sharing; commercial system operations would be controlled through commercially-operated Spectrum Coordination System (SCS) to prevent interference to federal users

• Automate business processes through a portal allowing federal users to update a database, which would then provide accurate and actionable information to non-federal or other federal users for near-real-time sharing

• Federal users gain greater control and security through providing their own, accurate usage data to the database, and the SCS, using this data, would govern the non-federal users’ operations, avoiding harmful interference

• IIC could replace extra, less-efficient layers of sharing techniques, such as the CBRS environmental sensing capability (ESC)

• IIC would provide greater certainty for the commercial wireless licensee on the availability of spectrum compared to other implemented sharing technologies


IIC Timeline – Integrated DOD & NTIA Effort• DOD will use Spectrum Relocation Funds to develop

capabilities to satisfy specific DOD requirements:

Track 1 - 3550-3650 MHz Transition Plan:- Spectrum Scheduling System (S3) & Interference

Prevention, Detection, and Resolution (IPDR):- Containerized cloud-native applications that may be re-

used as part of IIC platform- S3 and IPDR capabilities may be extensible to meet IIC

requirements

Track 2 - 3450-3550 MHz Transition Plan:- Automated Spectrum Coordination System (ASCS):- Coordination system with flexibility to meet

requirements of diverse DOD spectrum operators- Extensible and containerized cloud-native application

that may be re-used as part of the IIC platform

• NTIA plans to integrate extensible DOD-developed code to provide a Federal Incumbent Informing Capability ~2026

From TARDyS3 Request for White Paper: The S3 capability prototyped under this effort will be designed for all test and training ranges that require spectrum access in the 3550-3650 MHz band and may be extensible to other DoD operations currently monitored by an ESC.

Member Deployment Stories and Best Practices

CBRS PAL Deployment

Fernando TorresTodd Harpest

• Started in the ISP business over 25 years ago and have been providing Fixed Wireless service for over 20 years.

• Corporate mission statement is “Committed to Deploying Innovative Broadband Technologies in our Local Communities.”

• Today we serve over 12,000 fixed wireless customers in Northwest Ohio, Northeast Indiana, and Southern Michigan.

• Closing the Digital Divide

• Drooling for Lightly-Licensed or Licensed Spectrum

• Early Adopter of CBRS

• CBRS Fully Operational w/ PALs & Ready for Deployment

• Telrad and Google SAS developed a single step registration

• Some bumps along the road with having an existing 3.65 GHz network. The struggle is keeping existing customer connections online while trying to move to our PAL channels.

• Customer were cell locked to a particular channel so moving to a PAL channel was not a simple process.

• Utilizing both GAA and PAL spectrum to deploy 40Mhz per sector.

• Fixed Wireless CBRS Deployment delivering a realistic 100 Mbps offering

• Actively deploying new and upgrading more locations with CBRS spectrum

• Continued enhancements and improvements with both Telrad and Google to optimize the deployment of PALs.

• Telrad developed a split grant methodology to use PAL and GAA on same cell.

• Investing R&D into category 12 CPEs for higher bandwidth speed plans.

Spectrum for Private/Local Uses – A Global Movement


Canada

• 3.5 GHz (3450-3650 MHz) Auction in Process• Preparing 3.8 GHz (3650-3900/3980 MHz) for Auction in Q1-2023

– WBS/FWA incumbents will be relocated from 3650-3700 to 3900-3980 in two phases (Mar 2025 for urban, Mar 2027 for rural)

– FSS – removing primary allocation in 3650-3700 MHz– 3700-4000 rural sites to be protected via “satellite-dependent areas”– New and transitioning FSS stations allowed in 4000-4200 MHz only– 20 MHz guard band from 3980-4000 MHz

• Future Shared Licensing Process for 3900-3980 MHz– Will be subject of a follow-on consultation, some commenters argued for a

CBRS-type spectrum assignment systems

U.S. 3 GHz Overview

• Canada has requested engagement with SASs on mutual border protection criteria for 3550-3650 MHz– Protects CBRS from interference from Canadian broadband base

stations– Protects Canadian broadband from CBRS interference– SASs are already implementing border protections for 3650-3700 MHz

as part of existing treaty (“Arrangement R”)– Parameters are still being defined, but goal is to protect CBRS from

higher-power cross-border broadband operations while mitigating any restrictions on CBRS operations

– Expect more details in the coming months


General 3 GHz Developments

• In order of timeline:– 3.7 GHz Service (3700 - 3980 MHz)– 3.45 GHz Service (3450 - 3550 MHz)– 3.1 – 3.45 GHz (3100 – 3450 MHz)

3.1-3.45 3.45 CBRS 3.7


3.7 GHz Service

• Relocation of fixed-satellite service out of 3700-4000 MHz• Repurposing of 3700-3980 MHz for flexible use• Auction of 3.7 GHz Service (Dec 2020 – Jan 2021)

– $81 billion in net revenue, +~$14 billion in satellite relo costs– Top winning bidders ($78 billion out of $81 billion) were three traditional carriers

• Contiguous U.S. only – PEA basis – 15 year term• Clearing deadlines: lower 120 MHz be Dec 2021, remainder by Dec 2023• EIRP limits: 1640 W/ MHz (3280 W/MHz in rural areas)• No explicit requirements to coordinate with CBRS. TDD synchronization

being explored.


3.7 GHz Service License Areas and Band Plan


3.45 GHz Service

• Relocation of some DoD systems out of 3450-3550 MHz over the next ~11 years• Some DoD systems will remain indefinitely

– Sharing will be required in some geographic areas– 33 Cooperative Planning Areas (CPAs): Defined areas requiring ongoing coordination for

non-fed/fed sharing– 23 Periodic Use Areas (PUAs): Dynamic use by DoD, each PUA is coincident with a CPA

• Flexible use rules, license areas/terms – same as 3.7 GHz• Auction begins in October• FCC requires 3.45 GHz Service licenses to share TDD synchronization information

with CBRS operators• FCC will consider interference to ESC due to 3.45 GHz Service as interference to a

primary service– OnGo Alliance continues to advocate for transition to Informing Incumbent Capability (ICC) to replace ESC


3.45 GHz Service License Areas and Band Plan


3.1 – 3.45 GHz

• ”Remainder” of U.S. DoD 3 GHz band• Heavily utilized

– Existing sea, land, and air radar operations– Potentially more intense use by systems relocated out of 3.45 GHz

band• No specific plans yet by FCC, but mandated by Mobile Now ACT to

be studied for sharing or reallocation• Expect further action by FCC• Given the extensive incumbencies, it might be a candidate for

extension of SAS-managed CBRS-like band
