F1ANNEXConditions to be met by a system providing MCV services in the territorial seas of the Member States of the European Union, in order to avoid harmful interference to land-based mobile networks
(3)Conditions to be met by LTE systems in the 1 800 MHz band and 2 600 MHz band providing MCV services in the territorial seas of the Member States, in order to avoid harmful interference to land-based mobile networks
The following conditions shall apply:
- (a)
the system providing MCV services shall not be used closer than 4 nautical miles from the baseline, as defined in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea;
- (b)
only indoor vessel-BS antenna(s) shall be used between 4 and 12 nautical miles from the baseline;
- (c)
only a bandwidth of up to 5 MHz (duplex) can be used per frequency band (1 800 MHz and 2 600 MHz);
- (d)
limits to be set for mobile terminals when used on board vessel and for vessel-BS:
Parameter
Description
Transmit power/power density
For mobile terminals used on board vessels and controlled by the vessel-BS in the 1 800 MHz band and 2 600 MHz band, maximum radiated output power:
0 dBm
Emissions on deck
The vessel-BS emission on deck shall be equal or below – 98 dBm/5 MHz (equivalent to – 120 dBm/15 kHz)
Channel access and occupation rules
Between 4 and 12 nautical miles from the baseline, the quality criteria (minimum required received signal level in the cell) shall be equal to or higher than – 83 dBm/5 MHz (equivalent to – 105 dBm/15 kHz)
The Public Land Mobile Network selection timer shall be set to 10 minutes
The timing advance parameter shall be set according to a cell range for the MCV distributed antenna system equal to 400 m
The Radio Resource Control user inactivity release timer shall be set to 2 seconds
Non alignment with land networks
MCV carrier centre frequency shall not be aligned with land network carriers
Substituted by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/191 of 1 February 2017 amending Decision 2010/166/EU, in order to introduce new technologies and frequency bands for mobile communication services on board vessels (MCV services) in the European Union (notified under document C(2017) 450) (Text with EEA relevance).
