5.5 – expand RTLS the first instance it is used.
CSD –
The first sentence does not parse well. Consider rewording
This statement does not seem to indicate a distinct identity, but rather a change to the radio being used.
“needs of IEEE ” - the standard has not the “need” but rather the users of the standard.
Could this statement simply be that you are adding ranging to your radio?

This amendment builds on the existing capabilities of IEEE and extends the PHY and MAC enabling a wider set of interoperable radio based distance measurements techniques. No other IEEE 802 standard addresses the exchange of range information consistent with the needs of IEEE
Is:
This amendment enhances the ranging capabilities of IEEE STD No other IEEE 802 standard provides all of the unique attributes of
