Re: [802.3_DWDM] Proposed revision of proposed response to comment #89 to draft D1.2 of P802.3ct



Hi Matt,

 

Thanks for your response.

Sorry for my delayed reply. Too much going on right now.

 

I am not sure that I understand your question about the notes, because in D2.0 there are no notes in neither 154.8.13 nor 154.8.15.

 

For this comment the editorial team has proposed a response “proposed reject”, which based on further thinking and some offline feedback, I would like to modify to an “accept in principle”.

Then in 154.8.15 there is a final sentence, which I am now proposing to move into a Note. And also add a note to 154.8.13.

The rest is for further discussion, probably during the relevant call when we are going to address the specific comments.

My proposal is for specific text to go into the 2 subclauses 154.8.13 and 154.8.15.

 

The first question we need to answer is, do we want to “accept” or “reject” the specific comment or apply an “accept in principle”.

If the latter, which I am proposing right now, then we need to agree on an instruction for the editorial team, which is the specific wording.

 

My proposal for revised text is just a first step, keeping in mind that the unamplified case is something we want to continue to describe in an informative manner, but which is also something actually outside the scope of this clause.

 

So, then I also don’t quite understand your statement “I would want to ensure that the text talking about the inter-related nature of the input power and the OSNR is maintained”.

I am under the assumption that I am not proposing to make any changes to that effect.

 

So please clarify where you concerns are and which specific changes you would want to suggest.

 

Kind regards,

 

Peter

Peter,

 

Thanks much for the suggestions.

 

A couple of thoughts/questions…

 

Are you proposing to replace the existing notes with this text, or to amend the existing text in some way with this new text?  I’m trying to get a sense of what the section will look like when the changes are fully implemented, so I can better comment on them.  In particular, I would want to ensure that the text talking about the inter-related nature of the input power and the OSNR is maintained, which goes back to the original proposal that essentially created a graph of what was expected for compliant devices.

 

That said, while perhaps it’ll make more sense in context, I am wondering if the wording “The associated channel loss will be determined by the value of “Minimum average input power [unamplified]”” is quite what we’d want to say:  while we can derive the channel loss by knowing the transmit power and the receive power, the actual channel loss is a function of the black link rather than the minimum power the receiver can operate at.  I think the key points here are that in an unamplified scenario the reach will be determined by the transmit power, the receive power sensitivity, and the loss in the black link, which _may_ limit it to less than 80km; as opposed to an amplified scenario, in which case your limiting factor is more likely to be OSNR than power.

 

BTW, I also think it’s important to continue to make it clear that while operating at 80km without amplifiers is unlikely, it is – at least theoretically – possible.  If we state definitively that it’s not, we may get some pushback on that point.

 

Thanks.


Matt

Dear colleagues,

As mentioned during yesterday’s ct call, there are some comments for which I want to propose a modified proposed response.

For comment #89 by Eric Maniloff I would like to propose to change the “proposed reject” to an “accept in principle” and change the proposed response to:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create a Note in 154.8.15: In the case of an unamplified link the value of “OSNR(193.6) [unamplified]” is identical to the value of “Transmitter OSNR(193.6)”.  The associated channel loss will be determined by the value of “Minimum average input power [unamplified]”  resulting in a maximum reach of these applications to less than 80 km specified for amplified applications.

Create a Note in 154.8.13 “The value of “Minimum average input power [unamplified]” will determine the channel loss for unamplified applications, resulting in a maximum reach of these applications to less than 80 km specified for amplified applications.”

With editorial license.

Kind regards,
