THE FCC’S OFFICE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY RELEASES 
ANALYSIS OF AWS-3 INTERFERENCE TESTS 
WT Docket Nos. 07-195 and 04-356
The Federal Communication Commission’s Office of Engineering and Technology 
(OET) today released a report entitled Advanced Wireless Service Interference Tests Results and 
Analysis.   
The Commission initiated the above captioned proceedings to consider new rules 
provisions for Advanced Wireless Services.  One of the principal issues in these proceedings has 
been the potential for harmful interference from Advanced Wireless Service-3 (AWS-3) 
operations in the 2155 – 2180 MHz band to Advanced Wireless Service-1 (AWS-1) operations in 
the band 2110 – 2155 MHz, particularly the potential for interference between mobile devices.
To further inform the record, the Commission staff, together with interested parties, 
performed laboratory bench tests to investigate this interference potential on September 3-5 at a 
test facility in Seattle, Washington.  OET published the raw data from these tests on September 
12, 2008.
The current report discusses the test results of the laboratory bench tests that characterize 
the ability of mobile receivers to reject interference under various technical conditions.  The 
report also analyzes the laboratory bench tests to assess the potential for harmful interference 
between mobile devices under typical operating conditions and recommends standards to 
minimize this interference potential.
The report has been added to the record for the above-captioned proceedings.  Parties 
may submit ex parte comments if they choose to do so.  For questions concerning this report, 
please contact Ira Keltz, (202) 418-0616, e-mail Ira.Keltz@fcc.gov.
