Re: [802.3_EPOC] Continuing work on EPOC objectives - OBJECTIVE 4
Another important topic is OBJECTIVE 4.
We have general agreement on the data rate and bandwidth and concept of
scalability (up and down). However, the discussions so far have not
settled on how to set this objective without specifying the specific
channel characteristics, leaving that open for further work in the TF.
My concern with the text, as currently written, is that it requires some
explanation for those that haven't been in the conversation. This held
true during the last conference call and in most every discussion I've
had about this. I would like to make the objective a little more obvious
in its meaning.
Consider this a solicitation for a better statement of the objective.
4. Provide at least one physical layer specification that is capable of
operating at :
A baseline data rate of at least 1 Gbps at the PHY service interface when
transmitting in 120 MHz, or less, of assigned spectrum under baseline
plant conditions;
data rates lower than the baseline rate when transmitting in less than
120 MHz of assigned spectrum or when plant conditions prevent a higher
data rate;
data rates higher than the baseline rate and up to 10 Gbps when
transmitting in more than 120 MHz of assigned spectrum or when plant
conditions support a higher data rate;
