- Thread-topic: Submittal of IEEE 802.3 Channel Operating Margin (COM) Open Source Project Request
Dear IEEE 802 LMSC members,
As reported under agenda item 7.001 'Potential "IEEE SA Open" open-source project' at the March 2024 IEEE 802 LMSC Opening Plenary meeting, a need has been identified in the IEEE 802.3dj project to move the widely used MATLAB implementation of Channel Operating Margin (COM) equations and methods in the IEEE 802.3 standard to an open-source model.
Since then, work has continued refining the proposal, and a draft of the IEEE SA Open Source Committee (OSCom) Open Source Project Request has been developed. One item to note is that since this COM MATLAB implementation is not normatively or informatively included nor referenced as part of the text of the standard or cited in the IEEE 802.3 standard, the project would be a 'Tier 3 Project' which requires no changes to the IEEE 802 policies and procedures.
I am now, therefore, bringing the Channel Operating Margin (COM) OSCom Open Source Project Request forward for approval by the IEEE 802 LMSC. I bring this to the IEEE 802 LMSC for consideration under subclause 7.1.1 'Actions Requiring Approval by a Majority Vote' for the IEEE 802 LMSC Policies and Procedures, item g) 'Other Motions brought to the floor by members (when deemed in order by the Standards Committee Chair)'.
Best regards,
David

<https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/24/ec-24-0280-00-00EC-com-open-source-proposal-open-source-project-request.pdf>
Background:
IEEE Std 802.3 and amendments normatively specify Channel Operating Margin (COM) via equations and methods in Annex 93A and 178A. Software code implementations of these equations and methods have been and continue to be contributed and are widely used by participants. The COM code is not normatively or informatively included nor referenced as part of the text of the standard or cited in the IEEE Std 802.3 nor amendments. It is increasingly important to ensure that the MATLAB-based example, code implementation, is revision-controlled, peer-reviewed, cross-checked, bug-free, and maintained over time. This proposal would not impact the continued normative specification of COM through equations and methods in Annex 93A and 178A.
Motion:
Approve forwarding the IEEE 802.3 Channel Operating Margin (COM) Open Source Project Request in slides 5 to 10 of <https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/24/ec-24-0280-00-00EC-com-open-source-proposal-open-source-project-request.pdf> to OSCom
