New WG to develop recommendations as needed based on requirements expressed by HRU WG Need to update green book on BW-efficient modulation (413) identified including normative/informative split Request by CESG to review green book on RF compatibility test procedures (412) considered Future work/charter: Charter for new SLS-RFM WG agreed by BOF SLS approved new charter RES3 for approval of RFM WG charter • SLS AREA REPORT

  7. AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • RNG WG • Goal: issue blue book on novel ranging techniques • Working Group Status: Active • Working Group Summary Situation:

  8. RNG WG Working Group Summary progress: Current status: PN Ranging White Issue 2 book drafted Contains all PN code options identified so far Metrics for comparison/selection code(s) agreed Two independent simulation results available for most performance criteria Missing simulation as well as hardware test results expected in Spring 2007 Future work/charter: Future work continues as per charter – no changes/delays foreseen; Red book due July 2007 • SLS AREA REPORT

  9. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-TCC: Telecommand Channel Coding WG (1 of 2) • Goal: Development of a Telecommand Channel Coding Green Book. • Working Group Status: Active • Working Group Summary Situation: • Working Group Summary progress : • See next slide

  10. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-TCC: Telecommand Channel Coding WG (2 of 2) • Working Group Summary progress: • 230.1 Green Book Poll: adopted by CMC, but no CESGquorum (2 Approve + 1 Abstain). SLS Area requests full approval by CESG. • Technical Corrigendum to BB 231.0-B-1 TC Sync & Ch Coding produced and processed – To Be on the CCSDS Publications page… soon. • The WG supported also the High Rate Uplink (HRU) WG Meeting • Working Group Future: • The WG will deactivate as soon as the books are published. • WG Members are expected to continue contributing/monitoring the HRU work. • The WG will reactivate based on input task by HRU WG.

  11. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-C&S: Coding & Synchronization WG (1 of 5) • Goal : - Issue TM Channel Coding GB - Issue new codes experimental (orange) book(s) • Working Group Status: Active • Working Group Summary Situation: • Working Group Summary progress : • See next slide

  12. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-C&S: Coding & Synchronization WG (2 of 5) • Working Group Summary progress : • Telemetry Channel Coding Green Book is under CESG+CMC Poll. SLS solicits CESG voting (closing 23/6). • Orange Book on LDPC Codes by GSFC & JPL : • CESG Poll rejected the Books(complaints to CCSDS procedures?). • Poll result “revoked” by CESG Chair. • Eventually NASA decided to merge the books. Merged version submitted to WG. Conflict about Bit Numbering conventions applied by GSFC/JPL to be fixed before publication. No technical change declared, but possible technical improvement presented by JPL (for their part) for future versions. • RES9: SLS Area submits NASA Orange Book for approval by CESG

  13. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-C&S: Coding & Synchronization WG (3 of 5) • Working Group Summary progress : • Orange Book on ESA SCCC: New Draft provided. HW Demo held. • CNES Orange Book for Telemetry Frames over DVB-S2. Initial Draft provided. • General: The WG continues applying collaborative attitude on Orange Books without implying consensus. • CNES presented issues with Idle Data when CCSDS Randomizer is used (High Data Rates problem). A search for a more powerful randomizer likely to be future task for this WG. • Round Table on Profiles & Requirements (Joint with RF&M) show no prospect for quick move towards a BB. Agencies are however asked to produce profiles for future applications of Channel Coding.

  14. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-C&S: Coding & Synchronization WG (4 of 5) • Orange Books are not a CCSDS final objective but only one tool supporting development of BBs • Risk of seing agencies developing each their own standard based on their OB • SLS proposals: • Highlight on CCSDS web site and in publications the unique ‘ primary’ status of BBs as approved standards and classify the rest under ‘ other books’ or ‘ supporting material’ • Put in place a new WG on next generation TM systems with ‘mission-minded’ members to identify mission needs and produce requirements

  15. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-C&S: Coding & Synchronization WG (5 of 5) • Working Group Summary progress : • Joint activity performed with SLP for CRC clarification issues (shared area: Coding expertise needed for Books under SLP responsibility). Remarks: CRC is used in several books (e.g. TC, TM, Prox-1). • Possible clarification discussed. • Agreement to be reached about inserting figures (i.e. Logical Diagrams) into the books. Draft figures produced for discussion (eventual e-mail exchange foreseen). • Focus is now on improving the affected Blue Books. • Possible point of discussion for the future: Should CRC issues on e.g. techniques, performances, reference code, etc. be collected together as Green Book material? Proposal to be analysed by the WG.

  16. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-LEC: Long Erasure Codes (‘tornado codes’) BOF (1 of 2) • Goal: Make, if conclusive, a proposal for the creation of a WG on application of long erasure-correction codes. • BOF Status : Active • BOF Summary Situation: • Working Group Summary progress: • NASA and ESA reports presented. Technical progress positive. • Decision on creation of WG planned to be taken at this Spring 2006 meeting. • Only NASA in favour of creation of a WG

  17. SLS AREA REPORT • SUMMARY TECHNICAL STATUS • SLS-LEC: Long Erasure Codes (‘tornado codes’) BOF (2 of 2) • Working Group Summary progress: • Difficulties in having right perception by other Areas felt. This is an important issue since the implied coding solutions would penetrate also into higher layers data structures (e.g. post –pass recovery of “erased” frames or packets). • BOF is extended to 2007 with the targets below for better inter-area discussion: • Production of profiles addressing: • Scenario with limited number of erasures; • Scenario with High number of erasures; • Intermediate scenario. • Design, for the profiles above, of LEC solutions addressing both: • Approach at Frame level (i.e. constant length input data) • Approach at (Space/CFDP) Packet level (i.e. variable length input data).

  18. SLS AREA REPORT • High Rate Uplink WG • Goal: • Address the high rate uplink requirements from the IOAG. • Provide technical recommendations in the areas of RF&Modulation, Coding, and Link Layer protocols in support of the Lunar Exploration Missions and extension to deep space. • WG Status: Active X Idle ____ • WG Summary Situation: Good progress.

  19. SLS AREA REPORT • High Rate Uplink WG (cnt’d) • WG Summary progress: • WG examined use of CC(7,1/2) code with CCSDS TC link protocol to provide 4 to 6 dB added coding gain. • Fabrizio Pollara to provide white (concept) paper on the performance characteristics of this code i.e., CC(7,1/2) with the BCH. • Others are of the belief that the BCH code and the CC(7,1/2) don’t marry well - due to average burst error length out of Viterbi decoder – swamps BCH error detection capability

  20. SLS AREA REPORT • High Rate Uplink WG (cnt’d) • Problems and Issues: • Is the low hanging fruit solution sufficient? How far do we need to go?

  21. SLS AREA REPORT • High Rate Uplink WG (cnt’d) • Planning : • Deliver the White paper to the WG by Aug.30, 2006 • Action on the WG to develop application profiles and associated requirements
