Re: [10GBT] Simulated Performance of RS (2048,1723) LDPC code
Scott,
You are assuming PAM2 blocks in your calculations. We were running PAM8
simulations, and therefore, the number of information bits per block is 2747
bits (not 1723 bits), and the number of coded bits is 3072.
The 18 errored bits occured over 2 blocks and only in the 12-bit fixed point
simulations and not in the floating point simulations. Finally, there were
no blocks that needed more than 12 iterations for the algorithm to converge.
Regards,
Sailesh.
