Appendix I: Glossary ACI or Adjacent channel interference AIP Allocation Assignment CBA Cost Benefit Analysis Common Base Station (CBS) CDMA The third generation cellular phone system, currently being deployed, which offers higher data rates than previous systems allowing services such as videophones Interference occurring in the adjacent channel. Also, see Interference. Administered incentive pricing – setting charges for spectrum holdings to reflect the value of the spectrum in order to promote efficient use of the spectrum Used of a frequency band. Entry in the table of frequency allocations of a given frequency band for the purpose of its use by one or more terrestrial or space radio communications services or the radio astronomy service under specified conditions. This term is also applied to the frequency band concerned. Used of a radio frequency or radio frequency channel. Authorisation given by an administration for a radio station to use a radio frequency or radio frequency channel under specified conditions. A base station for PBR shared by users (also known as a community repeater) or a PBR installation giving wide area coverage under the control of one or more operators offering mobile communications on a commercial basis to a number of independent (usually business) users. Code Division Multiple Access: A radio transmission method where individual traffic transmissions use the same frequency, but where users’ traffic is separated by means of different codes.

Frequency Division Duplex: A transmission method where the downlink/downstream path and the uplink/upstream path are separated by frequency. Gigahertz: a unit of frequency equal to 1000 million (1 x 109) Hz or cycles per second. Global System for Mobile communications: a 2G mobile phone technology. This is the technology behind the vast majority of 2G mobile phones used across Europe and is used by approximately 80% of 2G operators worldwide. Also sometimes referred to under its original meaning of “Groupe Spécial Mobile". Frequency range deliberately kept vacant between assignments to give a level of protection to users on either side from interference from each other. Interference with any wireless telegraphy is not to be regarded as undue for the purposes of this Act unless it is also harmful – WT Act International Mobile Telephony 2000: a family of global standards for mobile phone networks proposed by the ITU Also referred to as 3G. The effect of unwanted signals upon the reception of a wanted signal in a radio system, resulting in degradation of performance, misinterpretation or loss of information compared with that which would have been received in the absence of the unwanted signal.
