Re: [10GBT] Updated Tables



Sailesh,

Let me say again that I suggest to compare PAMs with the same "coding gain", NOT "gap to Shannon capacity".
You may get confused coding gain with gap to capacity.

In order to symplify the analysis, let me assume RS(255,239) code as an example.
This RS code can reduce BER from 2E-4 to 1E-12.
Below are required SNRs and coding gain on PAM8 and PAM12 mapping:

          Required SNR for 2E-4   Required SNR for 1E-12   coding gain
PAM8           24.6dB                   30.3dB             30.3-24.6=5.7dB
PAM12          28.1dB                   33.8dB             33.8-28.1=5.7dB

This result show RS(255,239) has the same coding gain on PAM8 and PAM12.
Do you think this facts change in LDPC codes?

Regards,
Seki

Hi Seki,

I've pointed out a technical reason why there could be a 0.5dB loss in the
LDPC coding gain for the PAM12 proposal. In contrast to the PAM12 approach,
the PAM8 approach uses every available information bit in the modulation
levels, and therefore does not suffer from this inefficiency.

If you still wish to assign equal coding gains for PAM8 and PAM12, do you
have a technical reason for why we should discount this 0.5dB difference for
PAM12? All our simulations to date are showing that there is such a 0.5dB
difference in coding gains between PAM8 and PAM12...

Regards,
Sailesh Rao.
