Re: [8023-10GEPON] FEC call details



Dear All, 

Sorry I couldn't make it to the last call. 
I have edited Frank C.'s version 3, mainly addressing the framing slides at
the back half of the slideset.  My intent was to highlight each of the
design choices, so as to make the preso more generic and awareness-building,
and less of a position statement.  

A couple of comments on Frank C.'s section: 
On slide 3, various receiver sensitivities are put forward, but I think that
the type of Rx (PIN or APD) is missing.  This makes comparisons within the
slide misleading.  I suggest that a more detailed comparison be made. 

On slide 4, the chart on the left has its X-axis labeled "Net coding gain".
This is not correct.  I believe the label should say "Input signal to noise
ratio".  The chart on the right lists 'average power' on its X-axis - I
assume that this was the optical average power going into an APD receiver
(of unknown make and model).  These details should be spelled out.  

We might put in a slide that puts up the generic transformation between
option input power and electrical SNR.  

Finally, I would like to be added to the list of supporters. 

Regards,
Frank Effenberger

All; 

Here quickly summarize the call on FEC discussion....

The call took about 1 hour. The attendees were: Glen Kramer, Ryan Hirth,
Jeff Mandin, Petre Popescu, Paul Kolesar and Frank Chang. Frank Effenberger
notify unable to attend due to sth. come up. Glen kindly provide the EA
bridge to host the call. 

The group ran though the slideset of the algorithm part addressing coding
gain vs. power budgets, the main topics of discussion as follows:

1. The group agreed to keep the topic generic, avoid making a position
statement on any of the issues at this stage. These slides help bring the
whole group up to speed on the topics. This discussion help generate the
list of issues to be considered.  

2. 29dB budget reqs was discussed in detail, SOA-based and FEC-based power
budgets were compared. One suggestion was: as 29dB budget isnot yet the
budget choice officially approved by the group, it's restated as an example
under consideration.  

3. Still questionable if FEC has to be mandatory for link budget. Comment
this statement is better addressed when the study group concur on various
power budgets. Further consideration was to consider the choice of FEC
category: frame-based vs stream-based.    

4. Discuss the correlation of coding gain vs. resultant optical gain. Concur
the coding gain is a true rep. of FEC code performance. Suggest tabulate the
code option vs. coding gain for various code alternatives. 

5. Clarify the 64B/66B rate FEC option, this is standard based code
specified in backplane and OIF-CEI-P. 

6. Discuss latency issues, commonly believe there won't be an issue if fixed
latency.  

7. Time quanta - As to topic if the time quanta should be changed to match
the 66 bit codeword. Glen propose he will reiterate his previous slides in
coming meeting to make clear the time quanta doesnot need to change.    

8. Path forward - The involved party going to review the new slides version
(here as attached), will access if there is a need to proceed next call.  

Pls add comments if I miss anything. 
 
Thanks, 
Frank C.

All,

The conference call for FEC is planned for Monday, September 11th, 9:30 AM
US Pacific time. The following is the bridge number, courtesy of the
Ethernet Alliance:

Dial in Number
1-866-228-9900

International Number
1-719-359-4032

Participant Passcode 383731

The bridge is reserved for 1.5 hrs. I hope this would be enough.

Glen
