RE: [EFM-Copper] simulator tool



Hi Barry,
 
No problem, just trying to support the IEEE as we try to do at the other standards bodies.
 
Offer remains open if IEEE feels it needs it. I will be at the November meeting if more discussion is required.
 
 
Regards
 
Steve

Steve,

 

At this time the group is looking at doing software simulations for define the tables.

 

Note, however, any test cases that get defined must be implementable by hardware simulator systems, as the test cases will be used for conformance testing of 10PASS-TS PHY's.  I think so far we're OK in that regard.

Hi,

 

As Spirent has several different VDSL wireline simulator and noise impairment systems used throughout the xDSL industry, we would be happy to consider a loan of a simulator system to a test group managed by the IEEE,  for a period of time, to help validate the various tables if this would be of assistance to the IEEE and development of the EFM-Copper standard.

 

Please refer to http://dls.spirentcom.com/Products/solutions/VDSL.htm  for an overview of the VDSL simulators. In particular

The DLS 8100  http://dls.spirentcom.com/Literature/Brochures/DLS8100.pdf  addresses TP1 and TP2 as per the trial standard , and the DLS 5204  http://dls.spirentcom.com/Literature/Brochures/DLS5204.pdf  combined with the DLS 5B19 or 5B22 VDSL noise impairment files http://dls.spirentcom.com/Literature/Brochures/DLS5Axx_DLS5Bxx.pdf  may be of specific interest.

 

 

If there is interest please have have whoever is going to validate these tables contact me directly to discuss further.

 

Best Regards

Steve Courtney, VP Marketing and Product Management

'haven't looked closely at this, but it is publicly-available freeware.

 

As such, perhaps it would be appropriate to use as the basis for the simulator(s) to be used to validate Table 62B-1.
