RRD ,SRMC&SRSMC
The RRD (also known as the State Radio Office) is a department of the MII with the responsibility to regulate national radio spectrum The State Radio Monitoring Center (SRMC) and the State Radio Spectrum Management Center (SRSMC) are directly under the MII, and undertake nationwide radio monitoring and provide technical support for RRD
Organization
Local Organizations
The local radio regulatory organization of each province (also including autonomous regions and state-level municipalities) is established in the local government, which is responsible for the radio regulatory affairs within that region. The local radio regulatory organization has representative offices in every city to deal with daily work.

i. Establish the National Radio Frequency Plan and make rational use of radio spectrum resources ii. Handle nationwide allocation of radio frequency resources to various government departments and telecom operators
iii. Conduct nationwide radio monitoring and mitigate cases of harmful radio interference
Organization
iv. Execute control over radio by law and by issuing orders in special circumstances
The legal system which govern the radio spectrum management practice
Currently the laws and regulations of National Radio Management can be divided into four categories.
Special regulations
The Radio Regulations of the PRC The Telecommunication Regulations of the PRC Over fifty regulations and normative files set by the State Council and other ministries and commissions, especially the national radio management organization Regional laws and regulations.

Frequency Planning
To support the important government activities To support the sustainable development of the national economy To increase the peoples life quality through the provision of diverse ICT services
Frequency Planning
ITU allocation Domestic requirement, consistent with international main stream technology Encouraging the use of common and open standards, supporting the system with high spectrum efficiency Careful study of the EMC issues before introducing new radio services or applications into the Frequency Allocation Table
Frequency Planning
Investigating spectrum needs(e.g. market demand) Studying technical standards(including overseas experience, regulation and common practice) Conducting technical experiments (for both communication capability validation and EMC analysis) Frequency planning (final decision of frequency band, quantity,power limit, etc.)
