[10GBT] Channel models

Title: Timeline

We have four channel models defined from the March 2004 plenary meeting.

For detailed phy performance simulations, we will need sample channel data that complies with these models.

We will greatly appreciate it if any task force participants can provide full matrix (4x4) channel data. This would ideally include:

a) Insertion loss data on each of four pairs - real and imaginary

b) Near end crosstalk coupling (6 unique pair-combinations) - real and imaginary

c) Far end crosstalk coupling (6 unique pair-combinations) - real and imaginary

d) Four unique echo transfer functions (one for each pair) - real and imaginary

This can be obtained by measurements on actual cable and then scaling to meet the specified channel models.

Any cable companies volunteering to provide this data?

There is some data from the cabling Ad-hoc available on: http://www.ieee802.org/3/an/public/material/index.html

This data has some of the items listed above but not all. It does, however, provide enough to get some sense of performance.
