27
Appendix
A. Database
The database reporting the information country by country is available at
http://www.etsi.org/images/files/ETSIWhitePapers/etsi_wp9_e_band_and_v_band_survey_database.zip .
The database is composed of two sheets, one for the V-Band and one for the E-Band.
The first eight columns are common for both bands:

The ITU region (see Appendix C)

The name of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority

The website

The name of the country

The frequency band/s
o
For the E-Band case a single band is foreseen
o
For the V-Band case a multi-band (fragmentation) option is foreseen

The status of the band
o
Three possible cases : Open; Closed; Under Discussion

The Channel spacing [MHz]
o
The channel spacing foreseen for each band or sub-band

The “Max n” (for E-Band only)
o
Reports the maximum number of channels that can be aggregated to obtain a wider
channel

FDD - TDD
o
Three possible cases : FDD&TDD; FDD only; TDD only

The Licence Regime
o
The cases foreseen are: Link by link; Block assignment; Light licensing; Unlicensed; Link
by Link and Block; Licensed; Double regime.

The Licence cost Estimation for 250MHz/Year [Euro] (E-Band only)
o
This column reports an estimation of the licence cost for the case of 250MHz channel
for one year and for a hop length of 1 Km.

Note
o
This column reports additional useful info, usually link to specific documents
Even if all efforts have been used to fill this database with validated information, it is likely that errors
remain, in particular due to misinterpretation of the input data.
The sources of data have been varied, ranging from single contributors, websites of administrations and
regulators and others sources, such as the Questionnaire - Revision of the ECC Report 173 related to
frequencies higher than 50 GHz [15] and the ECO Frequency Information System [29].
