COVERAGE COMMITMENTS AND AGREMENTS OF THE SITES
1. Allotment Coverage Commitment
The multiplex operator agrees to respect the effective coverage rates of the allotment referred to in Annex I within the following time limits:
-at the start of the emissions: at least 20 % of the population included in the allotment;
-after three years: at least 40 % of the population included in the allotment;
-after five years: at least 80 % of the allotment population.
2. Site Approval
The Multiplex Operator provides the Board with the technical description of the proposed site network to cover the selected allotment as well as the percentages of coverage within buildings and an estimate Mobility coverage. It also provides for each transmitter the technical information sheets and COMSIS including a transmitter positioning card, as well as the diagram and the antenna height and the maximum PAR.
The multiplex operator must submit to The agreement of the council a list of sites to ensure the objective of coverage of the area concerned. With the exception of allotments subject to specific site locational constraints as described in Annex I, these emission sites shall not be located more than 10 km from the contour of the allotment. These locations must be within the boundaries of the French territory, with the exception of the foreign administrations concerned.
The network of transmitters proposed by the multiplex operator should not generate a field beyond the scope of the Defined beyond the envelope associated with the allotment. The method of calculating the radio field is defined in the explanatory note.
Multiplex operator ensures compatibility of the proposed network of transmitters with the existing international agreements for the use of band III (agreements Of Geneva 2006 and bilateral agreements). In the event of any incompatibility or discomfort at any time of the operation, the Board may either refuse the approval of the site or impose on the multiplex operator any technical modification necessary to remove or comply with International agreements. These changes can affect antenna height, radiation patterns, PAR, or emission sites.

RESOURCE RULES
1.
1.1 technical parameters. Allotment
An allotment is a geographic area bounded by a closed contour, associated with a channel (frequency) in band III and providing a defined level of service (see paragraph 1.2). It should be noted that the effective coverage of the allotment depends on the choice of sites proposed by the multiplex operator. The allotment contour represents the area of service for which the council guarantees protection against interference (subject to border coordination) for at least 90 % of the allotment population. A service can be received beyond this contour, but the board does not guarantee the protection of its reception by the auditors. Beyond the sixth year following the issuance of the multiplex operator's authorization, the Board shall protect against interference only in respect of areas in theory covered by the emission sites it has approved.
In addition, Each allotment is associated with an envelope defining the RF field limit not to exceed: 54 dB µ V/m to 1.5 metres relative to the ground outside the buildings. The allotments and envelopes are available on the APF website ( www.csa.fr).
1.2. Reference field levels and type of reception
The level of service for digital radio is defined for a reception inside the buildings. This level also ensures a mobility reception within the allotment.
The Board retains the following reference values to define the minimum median field levels for multiplex operators:
| Local Allotment | 67 |
| Intermediate and Extended Allotments | 54 |
1.3. Calculation Method
Field levels are predicted by recommendation ITU-R P. 526-10 or ITU-R P. 1546-3, if applicable (e.g., land-sea motion).
1.4. Allotment constraints
The use of adjacent channels within a single allotment is subject to the implementation of a specific engineering that results in the submission of a report to the Board in order to avoid interference with Proximity to transmitters. As with any site authorizations, in the event that genes appear at any point in the operation, the board may impose any necessary technical modifications on the multiplex operators to remove them. These changes may relate to antenna height, radiation patterns, apparent radiated power (PAR) or emission sites.
1.5. Release Signals
The document that establishes the " Services and signal profile for digital terrestrial radio broadcasting " Is drawn up in the Technical Committee of Digital Experts, meeting under the aegis of the Conseil supérieur de l' audiovisuel. This document is approved by the Board at its January 15, 2013 plenary meeting and published on the same day on its website.
The amendments to this document are subject to approval by the Board, after review by the Board Digital experts, then published.
2. Notes
The receipt threshold values will be periodically reviewed by the Board to take into account, in particular, the progress of the sensitivity terminals. These level measures may also be supplemented or replaced by parameter measures to account for the quality of the signal. As well, the recommendations will be reviewed to reflect the latest releases and developments
