Re: [10GBT] Proposed PAM8 vs. PAM12 resolution process
Hiroshi,
I think you probably put your finger right at the essence of the
difference between the 2 (out of 3) analysis methods we can adopt - but
then you dismissed it almost immediately without analyzing it
thoroughly.
Like you, I do believe 1 gap between the PAM 8 and PAM 12 will be
implementation loss immunity. (Maybe I'm wrong - but if I am, I'm sure
someone will correct me :-) ). I don't think that since it's too
complicated, we just have to let it go.
I also believe that another gap between the PAM 8 and PAM 12 is External
noise immunity (say, immunity for ANEX)
I also believe that the 3rd gap between the 2 is power along the years
(technology development).
However - we should be able to reflect all those gaps in a quantitative
method and to see in one glance all the differences together. I'm sure
we'll be able as a team to take the right decision when seeing the
quantitative data for all these 3 items together.
So, basically, what I'm suggesting is not that one method will be
preferable upon the 2 others - but all the 3 will be done (impl. Losses
immunity, external noise immunity and power) and if there's more - then
the 4th or the 5th should also be done and presented.
Is it fine with you?
Does someone see more than these 3 gaps?
Alon

Sailesh,
Sailesh,
It only matters how robust the receiver is against "EXTERNAL NOISE".
Do not confuse how robust the receiver against "INTERNAL NOISE". When I
said "INTERNAL NOISE" it includes all IC implementation losses due to
any non-ideal devices such as ADC, DAC, jitter, analog circuit linearity
and others.
When we discuss PAM8 and 12 comparisons, it should be focused on which
solution performs better with ideal conditions, meaning no
implementation loss. This tells which solution is fundamentally better
in theory and this has to be done first.
You showed in your presentation PAM12 performs better in models 1, 3,
and 4 when BGN is -150dBm. This means that with very small
implementation losses, PAM12 performs better than PAM8 over the long
cable. I agree that and also I agree that PAM8 is better than or as good
as PAM12 for model 2, which is 55m case.
It is true that all IEEE folks want to know if it can be practically
implemented or not. When we argue the comparison with the implementation
losses, the argument will be very muddy because it changes many things
depending on which criteria we use, power and complexity with the
function of technology assumption in time. Therefore, KeyEye's approach
has been the comparison with the define BGN -140dBm/Hz as the
implementation loss.
In summary,
1. We all agree PAM12 is better in theory or with very small
implementation loss for 100m cable.
2. We all agree PAM8 and 12 will be performing about same for
55m cable.
3. If we need to argue more on the comparison with the
implementation loss, I propose to define BGN such as -140dBm/Hz as the
implementation loss and then compare PAM8 and PAM12.

Hiroshi,
The residual noise power isn't just the background noise, but also
includes
the alien NEXT power, the residual echo/NEXT/FEXT power etc. This is the
input-referred residual noise power that each system is withstanding at
the
slicer.
