Member States must allow adjacent frequency bands within this table to be used as a single frequency band provided the specific conditions of each of these adjacent frequency bands are met.
[ ii ]
As defined in Article 2(3)
[ iii ]
Member States must allow the usage of spectrum up to the transmit power, field strength or power density given in this table. In accordance with Article 3(3), they may impose less restrictive conditions, i.e. allow the use of spectrum with higher transmit power, field strength or power density, provided that this does not reduce or compromise the appropriate coexistence between short-range devices in bands harmonised by this Decision.
[ iv ]
Member States may only impose these “additional parameters (channelling and/or channel access and occupation rules)”, and shall not add other parameters or spectrum access and mitigation requirements. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Article 3(3), mean that Member States may completely omit the “additional parameters (channelling and/or channel access and occupation rules)” in a given cell or allow higher values, provided that the appropriate sharing environment in the harmonised band is not compromised.
[ v ]
Member States may only impose these “other usage restrictions” and shall not add additional usage restrictions. As less restrictive conditions may be introduced within the meaning of Article 3(3), Member States may omit one or all of these restrictions, provided that the appropriate sharing environment in the harmonised band is not compromised.
[ vi ]
“Duty cycle” is defined as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of Σ(Ton)/(Tobs) where Ton is the “on” time of a single transmitter device and Tobs is the observation period. Ton is measured in an observation frequency band (Fobs). Unless otherwise specified in this technical annex, Tobs is a continuous one hour period and Fobs is the applicable frequency band in this technical annex. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Article 3(3), mean that Member States may allow a higher value for “duty cycle”.
