Re: [10GBT] Comparison Table Between LDPC Coded Modulation Schemes
Title: Message
Hi 
Amir,
  
Thanks for taking a first crack at this.  We have some initial 
feedback for the table you've proposed:
 
 
- Are 
you assuming floating point simulations for the reported results 
? 
 
- In 
entry #4, this is the overall rate (bits per symbol) but there should also be an 
entry for the base LDPC(m,n) code parameters - block length (m) and info 
bits (n).
 
- In 
entry #5, are you referring to the set partitioning gain (ie: both PAM-8 and 
PAM-12 schemes claim a 12dB set partitioning) ?   As Prof. Lin 
mentioned, determining the true minimum distance of the code may not be feasible 
in finite time.
 
- In 
entry #6, does your definition of latency include encoder+decoder 
? 
 
- In 
entry #7,  I would prefer Es/No (or SNR) rather than Eb/No (SNR per "bit") 
since simulations must be performed with mapped symbols - most results to date 
are in terms of SNR.  Also, I would suggest putting "number of iterations 
required" as a separate table entry since it's pretty 
important.
 
- In 
entry # 10, we need to include a complexity metric for the encoder as well - 
probably a and+xor count would suffice.
 
- In 
entry # 11, same comments on Es/No vs Eb/No data format.
 
- 
There should probably be an entry that describes the code construction as either 
regular or irregular, random or algebraic, and if algebraic, how the code is 
constructed- ie: based on RS(32,2,31) or circulant decomposition, etc 
...
 
 
Regards,

  Hi All,
  Attached is a preliminary 
  comparison table which defines comparison criteria between the proposed 
  schemes.
  <<LDPC 
  Coded Modulation Schemes Comparison.doc>> 
  In addition to the 
  preliminary table, there are a couple of further comparison criteria (item #12 
  in the table) which I believe should be added in the future after the first 
  round of comparison.
  I would like to have 
  feedback on the suggested comparison criteria and will update/refine them as 
  we go along.
  Regards,
