          coordination, concluded successfully. WRC-23, the highest decision-making conference organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), addresses key matters related to spectrum allocation and radio communication around the
          world. This year’s conference was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates over four weeks, from November 20 to December, and was attended by government delegations from 162 countries and more than 3800 related experts.</span></p>

          discussions on 23 agenda items, covering topics such as mobile communication, satellite technology, aeronautical and maritime science, etc. Moreover, the Korean delegation made diverse efforts to enhance global spectrum collaboration
          through bilateral talks with more than 15 major countries, including the US, China, and Japan, facilitating policy coordination.</span></p>

SPECTRUM BANDS FOR 6G SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFIED AT WRC-23, PAVING THE WAY FOR A
NEW ERA OF 6G

담당부서 작성자 연락처

- Successful identification of spectrum bands for 6G and establishment of the 6G
vision
- Collaboration with the US to ensure stable WiFi use in 6GHz band
- Groundwork laid for next-generation Earth Stations in Motion (ESIM) service
using geostationary satellites



The World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23), often dubbed as the
"Olympics" for international spectrum coordination, concluded successfully.
WRC-23, the highest decision-making conference organized by the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU), addresses key matters related to spectrum
allocation and radio communication around the world. This year’s conference was
held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates over four weeks, from November 20 to
December, and was attended by government delegations from 162 countries and more
than 3800 related experts.



The Korean government's delegation to WRC-23 comprised 49 individuals from both
the public and private sectors, including representatives from the Ministry of
Science and ICT ("MSIT," Minister Lee Jong-ho), Ministry of National Defense,
National Radio Research Agency (RRA), and Samsung Electronics. The delegation
actively engaged in international discussions on 23 agenda items, covering
topics such as mobile communication, satellite technology, aeronautical and
maritime science, etc. Moreover, the Korean delegation made diverse efforts to
enhance global spectrum collaboration through bilateral talks with more than 15
major countries, including the US, China, and Japan, facilitating policy
coordination.



In preparation for the era of 6G communication, Korea has been actively
collaborating with Asia-Pacific countries, including the US, and carried out
international activities to identify spectrum bands for 6G. Notably, the Korean
delegation took the lead in developing agenda items for the next WRC (WRC-27) by
proposing the 4.4-15.35 GHz band, which had not been discussed at previous WRC
sessions, as a potential 6G band. Consequently, three out of the four candidate
6G bands proposed by Korea were adopted at this year's conference. The MSIT
plans to play a more active role in 6G technology development and
standardization discussions by 2027.

* A total of 2.2 GHz bandwidth, including 4.4-4.8 GHz (partial band), 7.125-8.4
GHz (partial band), and 14.8-15.35 GHz



The protection of Korea’s WiFi services will also be strengthened. Currently,
Korea uses WiFi in the 6 GHz band along with the US, and at this year’s WRC,
Korea stipulated the use of WiFi in the 6 GHz band in ITU’s Radio Regulations
through cooperation with the US. This marks the first inclusion of WiFi-related
regulations in the Radio Regulations, creating an environment that allows for
the interference-free use of WiFi services in the 6 GHz band. This development
is aimed at actively enhancing the speed and quality of WiFi services in the
future.



Life safety functions in the aeronautical and maritime sectors have also been
enhanced. With new spectrum for air traffic control allocated for satellites at
WRC-23, dead-service zones on high seas will be eliminated through satellite
coverage. In addition, the Korean delegation agreed to discuss and cooperate
with the US and French governments and global service providers such as
Globalstar to ensure the stable provision of SOS text services using satellites.



Meanwhile, conditions for the operation of a new service (ESIM*) through
non-geostationary orbit satellites have been established to conveniently provide
internet services on aircraft and ships. Initially, most satellite services
(such as Fixed Satellite Service) required the installation of fixed satellite
antennas at certain locations. With the establishment of ESIM operational
regulations through this World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), it is
anticipated that high-speed internet services using satellites can be easily
provided on aircraft and ships in the future.

* Earth Stations in Motion (ESIM): Satellite communication systems for
high-speed internet access on aircraft and ships.



In addition, regulations have been newly established to protect not only the
geostationary public satellites currently operated by Korea but also future
public combined communication satellites scheduled for launch. This ensures that
our satellite network can operate stably without radio interference from the
rapidly increasing non-geostationary satellite systems.



The meeting also marked the first discussion on space weather, drawing
attention. Space weather refers mainly to the environmental changes in space
between the sun and Earth caused by variations in solar activity. The resulting
space radio disasters can cause significant damage to artificial satellites,
ground communication, power generation facilities, etc. Through this research,
it is anticipated that a foundation will be laid to protect the lives and
property of the citizens.



Furthermore, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced that, under the MoU
signed with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in August 2023,
Korea plans to dispatch domestic mobile communication experts to the ITU in the
first half of next year. It is expected that this expert dispatch will secure
the initiative for Korea in the discussion on 6G frequency exploration at the
WRC meeting in 2027.



Vice Minister Park Yun-kyu of the Ministry of Science and ICT stated, "Through
proactive radio diplomacy, Korea has successfully achieved the initial goal,
such as the adoption of 6G mobile communication candidate frequencies led by our
country as an agenda at the next World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC)." He
emphasized that “In preparation of the era of deep digitalization, the
government will swiftly implement follow-up measures, including frequency
distribution that was decided at this WRC, to create new industries and
encourage domestic businesses to enter into the global market, and enhance
public safety and citizens’ benefits.



Meanwhile, the telecommunications industry and related manufacturing industries
welcomed the successful exploration of 6G candidate frequencies by Korea through
the industry-academia-research-government collaboration at WRC-23. They
expressed their commitment to actively respond to the newly discovered mid-band
frequencies and proactively adapt to the future evolution of networks.
