Integrated intersystem coordination or How to obtain more effective access to radio frequencies for satellite communications

Abstract An overview of various factors pertaining to reliable and efficient access and utilization of the radio frequency spectrum is presented. Technological, regulatory and commercial innovations that could enhance the efficiency of utilization through minimization of the intersystem and interservice interference are proposed. Suitable approaches to increase the efficacy of the intersystem coordination on a global basis are outlined. Considerations of the conventional fixed as well as the rapidly emerging mobile satellite service applications are included; and the concept of an integrated intersystem coordination is advanced.
