“Connecting the unconnected to achieve sustainable development”

WP 3K is responsible for developing prediction methods for terrestrial point-to-area propagation paths. In the main, these are associated with terrestrial broadcasting and mobile services, short-range indoor and outdoor communication systems (e.g. radio local area networks, RLAN), and with point-to-multipoint wireless access systems.

WP 3L studies all aspects of radiowave propagation in and through the ionosphere. Recommendations are maintained describing, in mathematical terms, a reference model of ionospheric characteristics and maximum usable frequencies associated with the various ionospheric layers. Short-term and long-term ionospheric forecasting, with guidance on the use of ionospheric indices, is addressed.

WP 3J provides information and develops models describing the fundamental principles and mechanisms of radiowave propagation in non-ionized media. Such material is used as the basis of propagation prediction methods developed by the other Working Parties. Recognizing the natural variability of the propagation medium, WP 3J prepares texts describing the statistical laws relevant to propagation behaviour and the means of expressing the temporal and spatial variability of propagation data.

WP 3M addresses radiowave propagation over point-to-point terrestrial paths and Earth-space paths, both for wanted and unwanted signals. For terrestrial paths, prediction methods are developed for both line-of-sight and over-the-horizon links, taking into account the possible mechanisms that can give rise to fading and distortion of the wanted signal. The resulting predictions, generally expressed in terms of a statistical distribution of propagation loss or outage, provide vital information for terrestrial link planning in the fixed service (FS).

Security Council Briefing 23 May 2022

EPFL and The Geneva Graduate Institute (formerly IHEID) have signed an agreement to create the Swiss PeaceTech Alliance, which will bring together complementary knowledge needed to build capacity internationally in the field of PeaceTech. The partners are very proud to further announce that the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform (GPP) has also decided to join the alliance.
