Abstract

The fast uptake of traffic on mobile broadband networks, together with the ever increasing consumer demands for advanced services, is calling on the full attention by the policy makers of the world. This year in November, the ITU WRC-15 will decide on identifications of spectrum for mobile broadband services up to year 2020. WRC-15 will also decide on new agenda items for WRC-19, possibly including an agenda item for the next generation mobile communications – 5G or “IMT-2020” – and to perform technical studies in the next study period on spectrum beyond 2020.
