SSH EN 301 682 V1.1.2:2001

Satellite Personal Communications Networks (S-PCN); Network Control Facilities (NCF) for Mobile Earth Stations (MESs), including handheld earth stations, for S-PCN in the 1,5/1,6 GHz bands, providing voice and/or data communications under the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS)

Scope

The present document provides specifications for the standardization of the characteristics of a minimum set of
Network Control Facilities (NCF) for Mobile Earth Stations (MESs) with both transmit and receive capabilities.
NCFs are specified in order to protect other users of the frequency spectrum from unacceptable interference, by
ensuring that the network operator is able to suppress and enable the transmissions from the MESs. In particular, these
facilities will allow certain interference situations, resulting from the emissions from interfering MESs, to be
terminated.
The present document defines specifications for the control facilities in an S-PCN network in which MESs as defined in
EN 301 681 [1] operate.
