E-Band and V-Band - Survey on status of worldwide regulation
35
Fee = C1 * C2 * B0 * P
where:
-
C1 = frequency band coefficient
-
C2 = population coefficient
-
B0 = relative band width
-
P = basic fee
The relative bandwidth is calculated according to the formula:
B0 = B / 14 MHz
C2, Population coefficient, tries to take account if a specific area is congested or not. The higher the
frequency band, the lower the fees are. In this case E-Band is charged ten times less compared to 10
GHz. This is a common approach among a lot of administrations.
Case #5
The administration provides a spreadsheet calculator: it is required to fill in the following data:
Bandwidth
Frequency
High Demand Spectrum
High Density Geographic Area
Hop Length
The formula is:
Annual Fee= Unit*BW*Freq*CG*Geo*Hop_length
In this case, to determine the Annual Fee, the administration tries to take into account a lot of
different parameters, not only the frequency bands and the channel bandwidth as they usually
do, but also the region (High Density Geographic Area) and if the frequency band has or not a high
demand. The last item that should be pointed out is the fact that the Hop Length is considered,
and the fees are directly proportional to it.
Our database (Appendix [A]) provides a lot of links to administration websites where this information is
available.
