Technical progress
  • Objective - resolve as many details as possible by/before the Vancouver meeting Jan '05.
  • TWDP simulation tool
    • Status
      • Norm has sent MATLAB code for review to those who requested it. If others are interested in reviewing the code, contact Norm Swenson.
      • Some discussions have occurred, mostly asking clarifications; no suggested changes.
      • Comments in code are helpful but could be trimmed for standard. Group agreed to keep as is and trim later if needed.
      • Tom submitted a short presentation to support comment 110. Comment 110 is to adopt the code into the next draft.
    • Presentation - see http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/aq/public/upload/UpdatedcomparisonofMATLABcodewithPIE-D.pdf by Tom.
      • Comparison to PIE-D
        • Updated comparison to John Ewen's PIE-D results across 108 fibers showed excellent agreement to within ~0.02 dB, typically much better.
        • Small differences can be due to many things, such as round off errors. Norm says semi-analytic (IEEE code) and Gaussian (PIE-D calculation) methods may also produce slightly different results.
        • For PIE-D equations, see bhoja_1_0704.
      • Filter configurations
        • Updated comparison of filter configurations. Shows deterministic difference.
        • Approach where noise goes through Bessel-Thomson filter reduces penalty to 0.17 dB better than PIE-D.
        • Tom recommended to stick with current definition of PIE-D.
        • Jan asked about sensitivity of results due to variations in scope filters. Several answered they expect the errors to be small.
  • Transmitter pre-emphasis
    • Lew plans to present the concept and preliminary results in Vancouver.
    • Initial conceptual work with electrical waveforms shows potential significant boost to budget may be possible. Hoping for more experimental evidence in optical domain. Also needs analysis with shorter equalizers.
    • Must be compatible with short links too (Rx peak overload and jitter concern).
    • Who owns budget? Appears that no smaller group owns it. Most everyone in 802.3aq has some stake in it.
  • Pattern definition
    • Not discussed. Little progress since last call. Actions can be found in previous meeting notes.
  • D1.0 comments
    • Continued work on comments relating to TP2.
    • New question - should RIN test require duplex traffic to account for Rx to Tx crosstalk?
    • A separate email will publish the recommendations from the ad hoc group.
