RE: [EFM-P2MP] FW: [EFM] EFM FEC Proposals
Lior,
Some comments:
1. Compatibility.
When an old system receives FEC protected frames it will detect
disparity errors (because of the low power). How will the old system
deal with it?
2. Error duplication.
In both schemes you can correct 8 symbols. 8 or 10-bit symbols.
The error probability of 10-bit symbol is higher, therefore the
performance
of the S-FEC is better for AWGN.
80 bits burst protection is not required, so this is not an
argument.
3. Byte and frame alignment.
In upstream you have the preamble and delimiter so additional
alignment is not required.
In downstream, since the sync byte is always in the beginning of a
fixed length frame, alignment is very robust (and was proven in lot
of standards).
Best regards,
Raanan

Hi Ajay,
I have attached a few slides with some remarks regarding the Stream-FEC.
Best Regards,
Lior

Larry and all:
I have attached a slide which compares the two proposals.
I am hoping that this will generate more discussions and help us make
progress.
Please take a look at
http://www.ieee802.org/3/efm/public/jul02/p2mp/gummalla_p2mp_1_0702.pdf
for the calculations on efficiency.
Best Regards,
Ajay

> 17. Motion to add an FEC option for the 1Gig P2P and P2MP PHY,
> maintaining backward compatibility with the 1000BASE-X PCS, for the
> following reasons:
> 1. Improves reach of a MPN limited link by 50% for links with MPN
> penalty of about 2dB
> 2. Permits operation at a SNR lower by 2.5 dB for non-dispersion
