Abstract
The spectrum requirement calculation methodology for the
future development of IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced systems
presented in Chapter 4 has been implemented into a
software tool. The tool is called 'SPEctrum requirement
calCULATOR for future developments of IMT-2000 and
systems beyond IMT-2000' (SPECULATOR). The tool has been
implemented in Microsoft (MS) Excel to allow wide
usability and to achieve transparency in calculations.
The tool is publicly available on the ITU web site
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/study-groups/docs/speculator.do
c). ITU used the tool to calculate the estimates of the
spectrum requirements of IMT-Advanced at World
Radiocommunication Conference 2007 (WRC-07).
