Spectrum Auction 

Training Focus 

Spectrum auctions are used around the world to assign 

licenses for commercial spectrum. Beginning in the late 80’s 

countries began to transition away from using licensing processes 

based on comparative technical criteria and moved to 

auctions to award spectrum to the entities that value the 

licenses most highly (and will therefore put it to its highest 

use). 

With the internet, spectrum auctions can be simple and 

straightforward for regulators to conduct and just as easy for 

bidders to participate in. However, getting the auction design 

just right to avoid issues such as collusion and strategic gaming 

can be difficult, and providing bidders with simple and 

straightforward rules to follow can be equally problematic. 

Course Objectives 

After the training, participants will understand the trade-offs 

associated with various auction rules. Participants will get 

hands-on experience participating in a set of simulated auctions, 

both from a regulator’s and a bidder’s perspective. 

Participants will get experience in setting minimum opening 

bid amounts, bid increments, round schedules, and stage 

transitions from the regulators perspective and experience 

what it’s like to be a bidder: managing eligibility, forecasting 

demand in future rounds, setting and implementing bidding 

strategies, and gracefully exiting the auction. 

Strategies for Modern 



The radio spectrum is a limited resource that is shared 

between different systems, operators and nations. It is the 

task of a Regulatory Authority to manage the radio spectrum 

in a way that its use is optimised to the benefit of all. For this 

policies for the access and the usage of spectrum have to be 

defined while considering national and international regulations. 

Also technical and economical constraints arising from 

the intended spectrum usage have to be fulfilled. 

The training “Strategies for Modern Spectrum Management” 

introduces state of the art approaches and methods used to 

manage spectrum. Following an introduction to the international 

framework and the terminology defined by the Radio 

Regulations different strategies are discussed. The training 

covers the classical command and control approach as well as 

recent tendencies like spectrum trading. Topics like technology 

neutral definition of licenses, dynamic spectrum usage, 

cross border coordination methods, and approaches for 

licensing and spectrum pricing complete the seminar. 


After the training the participants will understand the current 

international framework built by the Radio Regulations and the 

ideas and strategies behind different approaches to manage 

the radio spectrum. 

Suitable for 

The course is designed for spectrum regulators and telecommunications 

professionals wanting to learn first-hand how to 

conduct and participate in spectrum auctions.

Technical Issues of 

Radio Spectrum Management 


The goal of spectrum management is to avoid harmful interference 

between radio stations. Different procedures are used 

for that. These procedures are based on regulatory requirements 

and have to consider physical and technical limitations 

of radio technology. Thus, spectrum managers have to understand 

the impact of technology in order to optimise the use of 

the radio frequency spectrum. 

The seminar introduces different physical and technical 

aspects of spectrum management and explains how analyses 

during interference and coordinating calculations are done. 

Technical basics, such as waves’ propagation, modulation 

schemes and propagation models are reviewed in the beginning. 

In a second step typical coordination procedures for 

radio services like Broadcast and LandMobile are detailed and 

possibilities to avoid harmful interferences are introduced. A 

separate section gives insight into radio monitoring and spectrum 

scanning techniques. 


After the training the participants will have technical knowledge 

of different radio services and will understand the principles 

behind typical coordination procedures. 

Military 

Frequency Management 


Military frequency management has to consider different 

frame conditions: National and international regulations for 

spectrum and frequency management, technical requirements 

of the used systems and finally the tactical requirements 

arising from the needs of the operation. 

The training gives an overview of procedures used by military 

to perform frequency management in national and international 

environments for common exercises and operations 

and highlights experiences made during recent military operations. 

For this the training is split in several parts. After an introduction 

to international spectrum management organisations, 

their procedures and their impact on military frequency management 

the training gives an overview on the technical principles 

and spectrum requirements for selected military 

applications such as radio communication, radio navigation or 

radars. 

In a third part an experienced military frequency manager will 

give insight into real scenarios and share his experiences with 

the audience. Topics are for example the establishment of 

appropriate procedures to ensure coordination with other 

organisations during exercises and operations, or approaches 

for allocation and sub-allocation of frequencies for adequate, 

spectrum efficient military frequency management. 


After the training the participants will be able to understand

Digital Dividend 


The digitalisation of the analogue terrestrial television and the 

according increase in spectrum efficiency in the UHF frequency 

range rises up a lot of covetousness from other services. 

The course will outline the question “What is digital 

dividend”, videlicet to define which is the released band, what 

are the current operating services as well as the expected 

difficulties in clearing the spectrum. 

In the next step the seminar will deal with possible services in 

the released spectrum and the according compatibility analyses. 

Finally the current status of realisation of the digital dividend 

will be analysed. 


The goal of this training is to get an overview about the so 

called digital dividend. The seminar will not go into very deep 

details in every service; the intention is more to put a spot on 

the main issues, challenges and consequences of the digital 

dividend. 

Suitable for 

Everyone interested in technical aspects of spectrum usage in 

band IV/V. 

Measurements of 

Human Exposure to 

RF Electromagnetic Fields

the world. A lot of applications are dependent on communication 

links with decent capacity and high availability even in 

remote areas. VSAT can provide such links with high performance 

if planning, system design, satellite and equipment 

selection has been done properly. The training gives a comprehensive 

overview of planning, set-up and operations for 

such systems. The seminar introduces both theoretical and 

practical knowledge. 

Touched topics cover wave propagation, satellite footprint, 

network topology, link budget calculations as well as technical 

parameters of network elements used, such as antennas, 

transceivers etc. Aside the engineering of a typical VSAT station 

the aspects for star topology and mesh topology networks 

are worked out during the session. Because modern VSAT 

systems are a prime example of convergence both the RF and 

IP domains will be touched in its basics as well. Further the 

training includes an overview of necessary certifications to 

install and operate VSAT stations.

Recommendations 

ITU-R P.1546 - 1812 


During the last years the recommendation ITU-R P.1546 has 

been well established. It has mainly replaced the “old” recommendation 

ITU-R P.370 by passing a long and difficult process 

of changes and corrections. Nevertheless, there are still discussion 

points about the details in calculating field strength 

values inside these processes. 

Taking into account the fact that the ITU-R P.1546 is only a 

coordination model based on statistical methods and field 

strength curves measured a long time ago, the idea came up 

to develop a real physical model using complex path calculation 

methods. So the ITU-R P.1812 was born and since then, 

similar to the ITU-R P.1546, a long and hard process of collecting 

input and discussions about corrections started. 

Both recommendations have to be seen under different points 

of views. A pure coordination model (ITU-R P.1546) based on 

measurements on the one hand and a physical model (ITU-R 

P.1812) taking into account real diffraction effects on the other 

side. Knowing details about both recommendations is a fundamental 

need for people dealing with broadcast planning and 

coordination. 


The goal of this training is to get an overview of both recommendations. 

Furthermore, for the most important functionalities 

a detailed knowledge will be imparted. The participants 

will get the theoretical background as well as exercises for a 

better understanding.

PMR – Professional Mobile Radio 


Wireless communications over trunked radio systems are of 

large benefit for enterprises like public utility services or public 

transportation. While this is unquestionable many other 

topics require careful consideration: Is it better to use services 

from an existing operator or to build and operate an own 

network? Which technology should be selected? How to 

describe coverage and capacity requirements? What has to be 

considered when preparing a tender? 

The seminar “PMR - Professional Mobile Radio” discusses 

these and other questions related to the design, the introduction 

and operation of digital trunked radio systems. Starting 

with the definition of PMR relevant requirements the training 

introduces PMR specific services, explains typical planning 

approaches and highlights possible implementation scenarios. 

A comparison of different technologies used in PMR networks 

like TETRA and DMR completes the training. 


After the seminar the participants will understand the requirements 

of PMR users and the possibilities and limitations of 

recent technologies for PMR. They know the technical and

LTE - Long Term Evolution is the next step from 3G UMTS 

towards 4G systems. The system, sometimes also referred to 

as “3.9 G”, will provide data rates of more than 100 MBit/s in 

a mobile environment. LTE uses an advanced air interface and 

a packet switched core network and is expected to play an 

important role in ITUs IMT Advanced process. 

The training “LTE - Long Term Evolution” provides an insight 

into the concepts and the technology behind LTE. While the 

main focus is laid on the air interface also other aspects like 

the Evolved Packet Core EPC and interoperability will be 

touched and discussed. An introduction to IMT Advanced and 

a comparison of LTE with competing technologies like WiMAX 

will complete the seminar. 


After the training the participants know the technical principles 

and concepts of LTE. They understand the aims of ITUs 

IMT-Advanced Initiative and can assess the capabilities of LTE 

and competitive technologies like WiMAX.

Planning & Coordination of 

Microwave Links (PtP & PtMP) 


Modern transmission networks require communication links 

with high capacity and availability. Microwave Point-to-Point 

and Point-to-Multipoint systems can provide such links but 

require careful planning and system design. The training gives 

a complete overview of the planning for such systems. 

The seminar introduces both theoretical and practical knowledge. 

Touched topics cover wave propagation, link budgets 

and availability calculations as well as technical parameter of 

antennas and microwave devices and the analysis of path 

profiles. Aside the engineering of links also frequency and 

capacity planning aspects for complex transmission networks 

are covered. This includes the effective use of frequency 

raster and the analysis of the complete network interference 

to achieve low interference and high frequency reuse. Finally, 

planning strategies for Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint 

(BWA/WiMAX) networks will be pointed out. 


After the training the participants will be familiar with the 

principles of microwave radio link planning and will be in the 

position to work out planning strategies for design and planning 

of complete PtP and PtMP (WiMAX/LMDS) networks. 

They will be able to reduce interference and improve the frequency 

reuse in already existing networks. 

Radio Link Calculation & 

Coordination Tool - MULTIlink 


The seminar introduces to the functionality of MULTIlink that 

is required to perform link engineering and planning tasks for 

Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint systems. The first day is 

dedicated to the general program handling (GUI) and the database 

functions in order to let the trainees find a way to understand 

the tool’s philosophy. The following days will cover, step 

by step, the calculation functions that are required to support 

microwave radio link planning tasks as well as the BWA/ 

WiMAX network planning process. After presenting some 

theory with slides in order to explain in brief what will happen 

during the calculations, exercises will be made with the trainees. 


After the training the participants will be able to solve typical 

link planning tasks with MULTIlink and can interpret the calculation 

results for microwave radio link and BWA/WiMAX networks.
