Arpad,

 

I think the correct single question is:

 

Should we require that a single BIRD be written that supports a unified
Statistical and Time Domain methods to determine an optimal set of Tx and
Rx settings? Yes/No

 

If the answer is Yes I will submit a BIRD in presentation form on April 8
that will do this, and enable an EDA tool to tell the user what the
performance of the optimized channel will be, and tell the user how to
program the Tx and Rx presets when powering up a channel.

 

The BIRD will describe all of the new AMI reserved parameters, and
detailed Statistical and Time Domain flows.

 

Walter

I am sorry, I was in a hurry with my previous email on this topic

and wasn't quite clear on the vote options.

 

#1)  Do we need to support back-channel modeling in IBIS-AMI

     for the statistical flow (or is supporting it in the

     time-domain flow sufficient)?

-    yes/no

 

#2)  If the answer to the question above is yes, should we

     modify BIRD 147, or start a new BIRD?

-    modify/new

 

#3)  If the answer to the previous question is "new BIRD",

     should it be worked on now, together with BIRD 147, or

     at a later time?

-    now/later

 

I believe these were the questions we wanted answer with the vote.

 

Thanks,

 

Arpad

Hi Arpad,

 

I just want to clarify what I think I hear you saying.

It sounds like there are 3 options for this "vote":

1.       Don't ever attempt to do back-channel modeling statistically.

2.       Attempt to do back-channel modeling statistically, but not now.

3.       Demand that we move statistical and time-domain back-channel
modeling forward, together.

 

Do I have it correct?

 

Thanks,

-db

Hello everyone,

 

We had a discussion on BIRD 147 (Backchannel) in the last ATM

teleconference.  Several concerns were raised about the BIRD,

but the biggest issue seemed to be that the BIRD does not 

include the statistical flow, only the time domain flow.  Since

we weren't able to make a decision whether the statistical flow

should be supported, a suggestion was made to take a vote on

this question.  Since we were running short on time, we decided

to conduct the vote in the upcoming ATM teleconference (April 1st)

to decide whether the BIRD should include the statistical flow

or not.  Another option is to start a new BIRD for the backchannel

features in the statistical flow, but the consensus seemed to be

that if we include the statistical flow, it should be done now

together with BIRD 147 so that we would not get into conflicts

between the two flows.

 

I am sending this email to this email reflector to notify everyone

about this informal vote.  Please spend a little time to think

about the question and come to the meeting ready with your choice.

If you can't make it to the meeting, you may submit your vote

to me in email either as a reply to this message, or privately

if you want to remain anonymous.

 

Thank you all for your support.

 

Arpad
