Basic mechanisms that impact propagation
⢠Reflection: electromagnetic wave impinges upon an object
which has very large dimensions when compared to the
wavelength of the propagation wave.
â Occurs from the surface of the earth, building and walls.
⢠Diffraction: occurs when the radio path is obstructed by a
surface that has sharp irregularities (edges).
â Secondary waves present throughout the space and even
behind the obstacles, giving rise to a bending of waves
around the obstacles.
⢠Scattering: occurs when the medium through which the wave
travel consists of objects with dimensions that are small
compared to the wavelength, and where the number to obstacles
per unit volume is large. foliage, atmospheric impurities.

ď At national level, each administration has its own
regulating agency like NTIA/FCC in USA, Ofcom in UK
and WPC Wing in India.
ď WPC- Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing, under
DOT,MOC &IT HQ at Sanchar Bhawan New Delhi.
ď Radio spectrum is divided into spectrum bands that are
allocated to specific services, such as mobile, fixed,
broadcast, fixed satellite and mobile satellite services on
exclusive basis.

14. Overview of Radio Communication
ď In India the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing of the
Ministry of Communications & IT, is the National Radio Regulatory
Authority responsible for Frequency Spectrum Management, including
licensing and caters for the needs of all wireless users (Government and
Private) in the country.
ď The WPC Wing performs its functions through various divisions /
groups.
ď The wireless services is based on National Frequency Allocation Plan
(NFAP) which was made effective from 01.01.2000. The latest one is
Draft NFAP 2011.
ď NFAP is the basis for development, manufacturing and spectrum
utilization activities in the country.

34. Overview of Radio Communication
What is ?
⢠WiMAX or âWorldwide Interoperability for Microwave Accessâ had its origins in backhaul
connectivity using microwave access.
⢠WiMAX has become a âhot topicâ in the wireless industry, with visible and aggressive
backing from INTEL, among others.
⢠WiMAX is designed to provide âlast-mileâ or âbackhaulâ connectivity using wireless
â âLast-mileâ refers to a wireless connection from a major trunk line to a business or residential user
â Using IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) standard, approved in January 2003, to
provide operations in the <11GHz spectrum range

Requirement) Rules, 2005 -rules were published in the Gazette of India, Part
II, Section 3, Sub-Section (i), dated the 11th March, 2005, vide notification
No.168 (E), dated the 11th March, 2005.
⢠Rule 3. Use of wireless equipment in the band 865 â 867 MHz.-
Notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force, no
licence shall be required by any person to establish, maintain, work, possess or
deal in Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID), on non-interference,
non-protection and non-exclusive basis, in the frequency band 865 â 867
MHz with maximum 1 Watt transmitter power, 4 Watts Effective Radiated
Power and 200 kHz carrier bandwidth.
⢠Rule 4. In case where any person to whom a licence has been issued under

Intelligent Transport System(ITS)
⢠Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are advanced
applications which aim to provide innovative services
relating to different modes of transport and traffic
management and enable various users to be better
informed and make safer, more coordinated, and 'smarter'
use of transport networks.
⢠ITS are systems in which information and communication
technologies are applied in the field of road transport,
including infrastructure, vehicles and users, and in traffic
management and mobility management, as well as for
interfaces with other modes of transport.

41. Overview of Radio Communication
Amateur radio (HAM)
Amateur radio (also called "ham" radio) is the use of
designated radio frequency spectra
⢠for purposes of private recreation,
⢠Non commercial exchange of messages,
⢠Wireless experimentation, self-training, and emergency
communication.
The term "amateur" is used to specify "a duly authorised
person interested in radio-electric practice with a purely
personal aim and without pecuniary interest, and to
differentiate it from commercial broadcasting, public
safety (such as police and fire), or professional two-way
radio services (such as maritime, aviation, taxis, etc.).

42. Overview of Radio Communication
Amateur radio (HAM)
The WPCâregulates amateur radio in India.
The WPC assigns call signs, issues amateur radio
licences, conducts exams, allots frequency
spectrum, and monitors the radio waves.
In India, the Amateur radio Society of India (ARSI)
represents amateur radio interests at various
forums.
