    <p>I think of "telemetry" as a generic term which does not
      necessarily imply the type of data or its direction (but it could,
      based on context or historical convention). For example, in the
      optical coding standard the title "HPE telemetry signaling" is
      used for a section describing  one type of optical
      code+modulation. The data can be anything as long as it is put in
      Transfer Frames, and the direction can be forward or return.<br>

          “uplink”
          is no longer good enough since we must cover cross links.  The
          term
          “Forward Link” has value because it can cover many cases and
          to me implies
          the sender, no matter if it is an “up” or “down” link.  It
          does
          not cover what kind of data is being sent.</span></p>
      <p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style="
          font-size:12pt"> 
                      A remaining part of the terminology
          question is whether we want to term to cover the type of data
          or information
          that is being conveyed.  The term “command” is very specific,
          it
          is a command and not science data or a software load.  But the
          term
          “telemetry” seems to be less specific.  I generally think of
          it
          as the return of housekeeping and engineering information but
          I believe
          the term is used very general to also include the returned
          (down linked)
          science or operational data.  We need to define what we mean
          by “telemetry”.
           My vote would be to use that term “telemetry” for the
          housekeeping
          and engineering data on the return link.  On some projects we
          refer
          to the other returned data as the “operational” data for a
          space weather
          satellite and “science” data for a purely science satellite.
           I
          do not have a strong opinion, just stating terms I have seen
          in use. </span></p>

          Dear RFM WG colleagues,</span><span style=" font-size:12pt"> </span><span
          style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
          <br>
          discussing high rate 22 GHz uplink recommendations, we noted
          that the current
          structure naming convention may not be appropriate to cover
          "generic"
          data transfer applications:</span><span style="
          font-size:12pt"> </span><span style="
          font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman"><br>
                2.1<i>        Earth-to-Space
            Radio Frequency</i>                2.4<i>
                   Telemetry</i></span><span style=" font-size:12pt">
        </span><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman"><br>
               2.2<i>        Telecommand</i>
                               
                           2.5<i>  
                 Radio Metric</i></span><span style=" font-size:12pt">
        </span><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman"><br>
               2.3<i>        Space-to-Earth Radio
            Frequency</i>                2.6<i>
                   Spacecraft</i></span><span style=" font-size:12pt">
        </span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
          <br>
          One possible solution would be to change the title of section
          2.2 to something
          like "Telecommand and forward data" and that of section 2.4 to
          something like "Telemetry and return data".</span><span
          style=" font-size:12pt">
        </span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
          <br>
          This is to distinguish between telecommand and uplink data
          transfers (like
          on-board software patch uploading, etc.) and between (HK)
          telemetry and
          payload transmissions. <br>
          Note that already now recs 2.4.8 and 2.4.23 do not mention
          telemetry in
          the title and deal with payload data. However, both
          recommendations have
          pictures for symbol rate definition with captions indicating
          telemetry
          symbol rate. I assume we will have the same in section 2.2.</span><span
          style=" font-size:12pt">
        </span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
          One would need to check in detail all recommendations in 2.2
          and 2.4, which
          is a lot of work I think.</span><span style=" font-size:12pt">
        </span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
          <br>
          Another possibility is to change the section titles to
          "Telecommand
          (including data transfer)" and "Telemetry (including data
          transfer)"
          so that we can avoid checking current recommendations for
          consistency.</span><span style=" font-size:12pt">
        </span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
          <br>
          In addition, one could use as alternative to "data transfer"
          the "payload" word although this is not generally utilized to
          indicate the same thing in different fora.</span><span style="
          font-size:12pt">
        </span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
          <br>
          The third possibility is to ignore this semantic problem and
          leave everything
          unchanged.</span><span style=" font-size:12pt"> </span><span
          style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
          <br>
          Could I have your view  by April 15 COB?</span><span style="
