A Good Siemens TD-SCDMA whitepaper (March 2002) ...

The primary reasons for the delay ...
* Development of the primary access mode of UMTS (UTRA FDD) was prioritized over the secondary mode (UTRA TDD) so the initial 3GPP release (R'99) focused on UTRA FDD (WCDMA) and UTRA TDD (TD-CDMA and TD-SCDMA) were moved out to R'4.
* UTRA TDD needed to harmonize TD-CDMA and TD-SCDMA, and essentially two harmonized variants of a single mode were created -- UTRA TDD HCR (TD-CDMA) and UTRA TDD LCR, and those needed to be harmonized with UTRA FDD (WCDMA).

As far as kitchen sink RTT's go, 3GPP2's UMB (cdma2000 EV- DO Revision C) has to take the cake.
UMB is an evolutionary upgrade within the family of CDMA2000 standards that can be deployed in existing or new spectrum allocations using scalable bandwidths up to 20 MHz. UMB enhances the performance and capabilities of CDMA2000 by combining the best aspects of the following leading air interface techniques; CDMA, TDM, OFDM, and OFDMA. UMB also incorporates Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA)
<< Kind of like landing a man on the moon ... One small step by half a dozen companies and one giant leap for the industry. >>
At the 3GPP2 meeting in Montreal this month, the working group that was chartered by Technical Specification Group C (TSG-C) reached an agreement on defining a common framework for Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) operations based on the evaluation and harmonization of various air interface proposals that were submitted to the 3GPP2. This common framework agreement was based upon a consolidated framework proposal submitted by China Unicom, Huawei Technologies, KDDI, LG Electronics, Lucent Technologies, Motorola, Nortel, QUALCOMM Incorporated, RITT, Samsung Electronics, and ZTE Corporation.
Looks like 3GPP still doesn't have a TDD solution.
