With the trend of globalizing of radio communication technology, almost all the counties focus on the international standardization of the technology. As an international standard in the world, the recommendations and reports from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is widely recognized, which are formulated by the ITU Radio communication sector (ITU-R) and stated by ITU members. Except the recommendations [1] cited in the Radio Regulation, others are not required to be carried out by the member countries. However, as ITU recommendations and reports are made by administrations, radio communication operators, equipment manufacturers and other relevant organizations’ experts from all over the world, the recommendations and reports have extremely high execution validity and are carried out by countries around the world more and more commonly.

There are thousands of recommendations and reports, covering all aspects of radio services. Therefore, it is difficult for the researchers to understand these recommendations and reports one by one and chose the appropriate proposal, which will affect the application of it. In order to facilitate better understanding and using of these recommendations and reports for experts, scholars and engineers who are engaged in electromagnetic compatibility analyze research as well as to fully play the guidance role. Based on 5G high frequency candidate band, radio communication services and the electromagnetic compatibility analysis work, we made statistical analysis and classified partial recommendations and reports related to 5G high frequency candidate sub-bands, which has a positive role in promoting 5G high-frequency candidate band radio interference coexistence analysis research.

TG 5/1 is a special task group under ITU-R SG 5 (Terrestrial services) [2] [3], taking responsible for WRC-19 Agenda Item 1.13 “conducting the sharing and compatibility studies, in accordance with Resolution 238 [COM6/20] (WRC 15), to consider identification of frequency bands for the future development of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT), including possible additional allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis”. Studies [4] on frequency-related matters for International Mobile Telecommunications identification including possible additional allocations to the mobile services on a primary basis in portion(s) of the frequency range between 24.25 and 86 GHz for the future development of International Mobile Telecommunications for 2020 and beyond.

The first meeting of the ITU-R TG5/1 task group was held in Geneva, Switzerland, on May 2016 23-25. All participant countries and organizations had been positive involved in the research work [5]-[10], relevant to the task group organization structure, management team election and work plan and so on. The meeting mainly aimed at the research content, especially in EMC analysis between IMT-2020 and other services. The candidate frequency band EMC research work was distributed into three working groups simultaneously: WG2-30 GHz (including 24.25-27.5 GHz, 31.8-3.4 GHz band), WG3-40/50 GHz (including 37-40.5 GHz, 40.5-42.5 GHz, 42.5-43.5 GHz, 45.5-47 GHz, 47-47.2 GHz, 47.2-50.2 GHz, 50.4-52.6 GHz band), and WG4-70/80 GHz (including 66-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz band).

The main responsibilities of ITU-R TG 5/1 task group is to determine technical characteristics of existing services including protection criterion in the 5G candidate bands or adjacent bands. Therefore it is necessary to carry out a lot of analysis of the inter service protection criterion in these frequency bands. The research mainly focuses on the following radio interference scenarios (see Table 1). These research works would be completed in the next 2 to 3 years, and submitted to the WRC-19 for consideration.

In this paper, we introduced ITU-R TG 5/1 task group, as well as the current research situation. Based on 5G high frequency candidate band, radio communi-

cation services and the electromagnetic compatibility analysis work, we statistically analyzed all recommendations and reports relevant to candidate sub-bands, and then classified three very important sub-bands’ recommendations and reports in three very important sub-bands, which had played a positive role in promoting 5G high-frequency candidate band radio interference coexistence analysis research.
