Radionavigation-satellite service

A radionavigation-satellite service (RNSS) is "a radiodetermination-satellite service used for the purpose of radionavigation. This service may also include feeder links necessary for its operation".[1]

RNSS; here: Automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast

RNSS is regarded as a safety-of-life service and an essential part of navigation which must be protected from interferences.

Frequency allocation
Main article: Frequency allocation

The allocation of radio frequencies is provided according to Article 5 of the ITU Radio Regulations (edition 2012).[2]

To improve harmonisation in spectrum utilisation, most service allocations are incorporated in national Tables of Frequency Allocations and Utilisations within the responsibility of the appropriate national administration. Allocations are:

  • primary: indicated by writing in capital letters
  • secondary: indicated by small letters
  • exclusive or shared utilization: within the responsibility of administrations.
