It is up to the working group ballot resolution committee to decide whether or not a negative comment is new or an iteration of a previous comment. Remember, during a recirculation ballot, balloters can only vote on the changed portion of the document and on any unresolved negative comments. Submission Slide 5 C. Hansen, Peraso

The Link Measurement can be very usefull for any link adaptation like MCS and TPC. Although it w3as designed for TDD mode and essential for TDD mode it should be generaly available. 10.44.5 TDD link maintenance. Usefulness of the defined measurements is not TDD specific, hence no need to limit the measurements to be used under TDD SP only. Move the TDD Synchronization Mode capability outside from the TDD Capability Information field to allow general use, and rename it. See submission: 11- 19-0284-00-00ay CID- on-Link- Measurement.
