This latter band may be used for low capacity P-MP or P-P systems in a manner similar to the adjacent band 3400 to 3600 MHz.
B Part 2 Point-to-Multipoint 3600 MHz - 3800 MHz TDD P-MP Annex B is based on ITU-R Recommendation F.382 for the frequency range 3800-4200 MHz and on channel and block allocations derived from frequency slots of 0.25 MHz for the remaining band, 3600- 3800 MHz. This latter band may be used for low capacity P-MP or P-P systems in a manner similar to the adjacent band 3400 to 3600 MHz.
B Part 2 (50 MHz arrangement) Point-to-Multipoint 3600-3700 MHz 3600 MHz - 3650 MHz and 3650 MHz - 3700 MHz FDD P-MP Annex B is based on ITU-R Recommendation F.382 for the frequency range 3800-4200 MHz and on channel and block allocations derived from frequency slots of 0.25 MHz for the remaining band, 3600- 3800 MHz. This latter band may be used for low capacity P-MP or P-P systems in a manner similar to the adjacent band 3400 to 3600 MHz.
B Part 2 (50 MHz arrangement) Point-to-Multipoint 3700-3800 MHz 3700 MHz - 3750 MHz and 3750 MHz - 3800 MHz FDD P-MP Annex B is based on ITU-R Recommendation F.382 for the frequency range 3800-4200 MHz and on channel and block allocations derived from frequency slots of 0.25 MHz for the remaining band, 3600- 3800 MHz. This latter band may be used for low capacity P-MP or P-P systems in a manner similar to the adjacent band 3400 to 3600 MHz.
B Part 2 (100 MHz arrangement) Point-to-Multipoint 3600 MHz - 3700 MHz and 3700 MHz - 3800 MHz FDD P-MP Annex B is based on ITU-R Recommendation F.382 for the frequency range 3800-4200 MHz and on channel and block allocations derived from frequency slots of 0.25 MHz for the remaining band, 3600- 3800 MHz. This latter band may be used for low capacity P-MP or P-P systems in a manner similar to the adjacent band 3400 to 3600 MHz.
B Part 2 (50 MHz arrangements) Point-to-Point 3600-3700 MHz 3600 MHz - 3650 MHz and 3650 MHz - 3700 MHz FDD P-P Annex B is based on ITU-R Recommendation F.382 for the frequency range 3800-4200 MHz and on channel and block allocations derived from frequency slots of 0.25 MHz for the remaining band, 3600- 3800 MHz. This latter band may be used for low capacity P-MP or P-P systems in a manner similar to the adjacent band 3400 to 3600 MHz.
B Part 2 (50 MHz arrangement) Point-Point 3700-3800 MHz 3700 MHz - 3750 MHz and 3750 MHz - 3800 MHz FDD P-P Annex B is based on ITU-R Recommendation F.382 for the frequency range 3800-4200 MHz and on channel and block allocations derived from frequency slots of 0.25 MHz for the remaining band, 3600- 3800 MHz. This latter band may be used for low capacity P-MP or P-P systems in a manner similar to the adjacent band 3400 to 3600 MHz.
B Part 2 (100 MHz arrangements) Point-to-Point 3600 MHz - 3700 MHz and 3700 MHz - 3800 MHz FDD P-P Annex B is based on ITU-R Recommendation F.382 for the frequency range 3800-4200 MHz and on channel and block allocations derived from frequency slots of 0.25 MHz for the remaining band, 3600- 3800 MHz. This latter band may be used for low capacity P-MP or P-P systems in a manner similar to the adjacent band 3400 to 3600 MHz.

Note 1 The current use of the band 3600 - 4200 MHz in most European countries is according to ITU-R Recommendation F.635 and/or Recommendation F.382
Note 2 The ITU-R Recommendation F.635 only sets a basic raster of 10 MHz without defining a specific channel spacing or a duplex spacing
Note 3 The ITU-R Recommendation F.382 only uses the band segment 3800-4200 MHz requiring a proposal for a harmonisation of the remaining band 3600-3800 MHz
