A big part of the intent of USLP
is to make the “forward” link and “return” link as similar as possible.
But we may still want to treat them with some differentiation. An
Earth based receiver can be much more complicated than a space based receiver.
An Earth based transmitter can have much more EIRP than a space
based one. The section titles can be simple but if possible, it would be
nice if they informed the reader of the differences. It may be as
simple as words like “forward” and “return” to indicate the initiator
and the respondent, and let the section contents cover the details. </span></p>

my basic question with respect to a specific aspect
of this discussion is the following: does RFM WG really need to enter
into the detail of the type of carried data?</span><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">
</span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
I mean, the input to a modulator is normally a stream of encoded bits.
Why would RFM need to know if those bits are from Housekeeping Telemetry

</span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>

contain a command or a memory upload?</span><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">

Enrico,</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:12pt">
Before jumping into the section
titles, I think we need to agree on the meaning of the basic terms.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:12pt">
It seems to me that the term
“command” is a limited term and should be improved. Saying “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>

section titles</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:12pt">
Seems to me that section 2.2
Command and 2.4 Telemetry, titles need to be improved. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:12pt">I
hesitate to propose the possible rewording until we decide on the definition
of the terms and if we what the title to convey of the kind of data transferred.
I think the title should contain some detail but at the same time
be general enough to allow for things we have not thought of, if such thing
is possible. </span></p>

<br>
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: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: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: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=" font-size:12pt">
</span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards, Enrico</span><span style=" font-size:12pt"> </span><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Courier"><br>
