  <body>
    <p>Thank you for the invitation to review the SCCS-ARD. I regret
      that I will not be able to discuss the SCCS-ARD in person on 23
      Nov. I will be on vacation that week. I give my comments here,
      with the hope that this is enough in advance of the meeting for
      each of the individual comments to be read and discussed at the
      meeting.<br>
    </p>
    <p>My primary comment is that updating the SCCS-ARD is clearly a
      large undertaking, and I would like to congratulate John Pietras
      and Peter Shames for on the production of a quality document. It
      is difficult to absorb such a large swath of CCSDS standards and
      integrate them into a helpful summary of the interfaces as this
      SCCS-ARD does.<br>
    </p>
    <p>My other comments primarily relate to the new VCM content. There
      are six main comments, with more detailed description,
      recommendation, and justification for each. These comments are
      written based on the latest SCCS-ARD, but I also repeat portions
      of my June-23 comments if they were not yet addressed. I believe
      the SCCS-ARD will be much improved if we adopt these
      recommendations.<br>
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>The phrase "VCM suite"</li>
      <ul>
        <li>Description: This phrase is introduced in this SCCS-ARD. It
          occurs in Table 6-1, and throughout Section 6.1.2, Table 6-8,
          Table 6-12.</li>
        <li>Recommendation: Remove this phrase in all places and replace
          with "the VCM protocol."<br>
        </li>
        <li>Justification</li>
        <ul>
          <li>CCSDS does not have a "VCM suite" and I think it is a
            mistake to invent this new concept here, especially since it
            would risk confusing the reader into thinking that there is
            more than one VCM protocol.<br>
          </li>
          <li>131.2 and 131.3 are not members of a supposed "VCM suite."
            They are not even the same kind of thing that 431.1 is.
            431.1 is a protocol book, while 131.2 and 131.3 describes
            codes, modulation, and VCM.<br>
          </li>
          <li>One VCM protocol. As we worked out in the C&S and RFM
            WGs at the time we negotiated the VCM protocol blue book
            (431.1-B-1), there is one VCM protocol that can be used with
            multiple sets of codes and modulations described in other
            blue books. There are some variations and options in this
            protocol, but it is fundamentally one protocol that operates
            in the same way, namely, with a header signaled with
            pi/2-BPSK and protected with a specific RM code, followed by
            code symbols using a higher order modulation. This is why
            the VCM blue book has the title "Variable Coded Modulation
            Protocol" with no plural word or "suite."</li>
          <li>In other words, the protocol is singular. What is plural
            is the set of VCM tables that can be used in conjunction
            with the protocol. Incidentally, in other areas CCSDS
            doesn't refer to a "code suite," or a "ranging suite" or a
            "frequencies suite" where there are clearly multiple
            options.</li>
        </ul>
      </ul>
      <li>Table 6-1 organization.<br>
      </li>
      <ul>
        <li>Description: Table 6-1 lists three references for the VCM
          "Suite": 131.2, 131.3, and 431.1.</li>
        <li>Recommendation: put 131.2, 131.3, and 431.1 each on their
          own row of the table, using their Blue Book name, like the
          other rows of the table do.<br>
        </li>
        <li>Justification</li>
        <ul>
          <li>Books that are the same type of thing are treated
            differently in the table.</li>
          <ul>
            <li>As we know, there are 4 CCSDS coding standards that
              ingest TM/AOS/USLP frames (what we might previously call
              space-to-ground links): 131.0 (turbo/LDPC), 131.2 (SCCC),
              131.3 (DVB-S2 LDPC), and 142.1 (SCPPM). These references
              should appear together in Table 6-1 in the same way, not
              with 131.0 in its own row and 131.2 and 131.3 relegated to
              a secondary category within "VCM suite." The SCCS-ARD
              should be about interfaces (in this case, ingestion of TM,
              AOS, or USLP Transfer Frames). Treating them differently
              in the table doesn't make sense.</li>
            <li>In particular, Table 6-1 as written calls out 142.1 and
              131.0 as "coding" books and 131.2 and 131.3 as members of
              a supposed "VCM suite." But 131.2 and 131.3 are primarily
              about the codes they define -- the SCCC codes and DVB-S2
              LDPC codes. When C&S negotiated their acceptance, the
              discussion was primarily about the coding performance,
              complexity, maturity, etc., and not their associated VCM
              approaches (which are nearly identical).<br>
            </li>
          </ul>
          <li>Books that are different are treated as though they are
            the same in the table</li>
          <ul>
            <li>131.2, 131.3, and 431.1 cannot be listed as though they
              are the same type of thing<br>
            </li>
            <li>431.1 is fundamentally different in structure from 131.2
              and 131.3. 431.1 is the unifying description of the (one)
              CCSDS VCM protocol, and refers back to 131.2 and 131.3 in
              describing the differences of the two minor variations
              (types). Whereas 131.2 and 131.3 describe codes and
              modulations.<br>
            </li>
          </ul>
          <li>This would be consistent with the rest of the table.</li>
        </ul>
      </ul>
      <li>Table 6-1 "space-to-ground links".</li>
      <ul>
        <li>Description: The table has a left-column heading labeled
          "Space-to-Ground Links." <br>
        </li>
        <li>Recommendation:</li>
        <ul>
          <li>Remove or reword "Space-to-Ground Links"</li>
        </ul>
        <li>Justification:</li>
        <ul>
          <li>This may be outdated terminology, given our renewed
            interest in allowing a variety of link directions for the
            standards.</li>
          <li>Or, if we are keeping the concept of direction, why is the
            TC coding book listed in this category? Also, why is there
            no corresponding "Ground-to-Space Links" category?<br>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </ul>
      <li>Figure 6-1</li>
      <ul>
        <li>Description: Figure 6-1 shows boxes for TM sync and channel
          coding, VCM suite, and RF and modulation, with some lines
          between some of them.<br>
        </li>
        <li>Recommendation: Revise the figure to include an "SCCC
          coding" box, a "DVB-S2 LDPC coding" (or similar) box, and
          redraw the VCM box to encompass those boxes as well as the "TM
          sync and channel coding" and "RF and Modulation" boxes. Also,
          update the lines to make clear which frame types may enter
          each of the boxes on the coding sublayer.<br>
        </li>
        <li>Justification: As drawn, this figure is not clear and
          bordering on inaccurate.</li>
        <ul>
          <li>There is a box labeled VCM suite, presumably meant to
            include 131.2, 131.3, and 431.1 in this box. If so, then why
            is TM Sync And Channel Coding outside of this box? Why is RF
            and Modulation outside of this box? Those are specified as
            part of 431.1.<br>
          </li>
          <li>It does not make sense for turbo/LDPC codes to get their
            own box in this figure, but not SCCC and DVB-S2 codes. These
            make the same type of specification at the same layer. Where
            SCCS-ARD can be of service is in explaining where the
            interfaces are the same in the various books.<br>
          </li>
          <li>VCM is a standard about both coding and modulation and so
            should be drawn to encompass the coding and modulation
            functions.</li>
        </ul>
      </ul>
      <li>Section 6.1.2.2.1</li>
      <ul>
        <li>Description. This section:<br>
        </li>
        <ul>
          <li>States that the VCM suite is not a single protocol but
            rather three separate protocols, then says they are "very
            similar," and finally then says they are all subsumed into
            one, using the phrase "the VCM protocol."</li>
          <li>Refers to 131.2 and 131.3 as "VCM standards"<br>
          </li>
          <li>Says that 431.1 subsumes the functionality of 131.2 and
            131.3</li>
        </ul>
        <li>Recommendation: Rewrite the paragraph from scratch to
          include these features</li>
        <ul>
          <li>Refer to 131.0, 131.2, and 131.3 on equal footing as
            standards for turbo/LDPC, SCCC, and DVB-S2 LDPC codes, and a
            variety of modulations.<br>
          </li>
          <li>Refer to 431.1 ("the VCM protocol") as allowing the codes
            specified in these three standards to be used with a common
            protocol with two variations called Type 1 and Type 2; and
            that the VCM protocol is easily updated to accommodate other
            codes and/or modulations with the additional of new VCM
            tables.</li>
        </ul>
        <li>Justification:</li>
        <ul>
          <li>As written, the paragraph is self-contradictory. The
            protocol cannot simultaneously be three separate things, two
            very similar things, and all subsumed into one thing.</li>
          <li>The simplicity of the concept of unifying VCM into a
            common protocol that can be used with SCCC, DVB-S2 and
            turbo/LDPC codes is missing from this paragraph.</li>
          <li>Saying 431.1 "subsumes" 131.2 and 131.3 makes it seem like
            131.2 and 131.3 are not needed. They are needed, because
            they are what specifies the codes and modulations. 431.1 <i>refers</i>
            to 131.2 and 131.3.</li>
        </ul>
      </ul>
      <li>Figure 6-2</li>
      <ul>
        <li>Description. The figure purports to show component standards
          of "the VCM suite."<br>
        </li>
        <li>Recommendation:</li>
        <ul>
          <li>Remove this figure from the SCCS-ARD.</li>
        </ul>
        <li>Justification. This figure is unnecessary, redundant,
          artificially complex, misleading, and incomplete.<br>
        </li>
        <ul>
          <li>Unnecessary</li>
          <ul>
            <li>There is no "VCM suite."</li>
            <li>The purpose of the SCCS-ARD is to explain how things fit
              together. But this figure purportedly shows three
              standards -- 131.2, 431.1, and 131.3 -- <i>that do not
                interact with each other</i> (there are no lines between
              the three main boxes)<i>. </i>This makes it unnecessary
              for the SCCS-ARD to address.</li>
          </ul>
          <li>Redundant, artificially complex<br>
          </li>
          <ul>
            <li>No information would be lost if the 131.2 and 131.3
              columns were deleted in their entirety. All of the SCCC
              encoding is shown within the middle (431) box, for
              example. This duplication is confusing and artificially
              adds complexity where there is none.</li>
            <li>The things that are common -- functions like slicing,
              ASM, modulation, pilot -- are drawn multiple times, giving
              the impression that they are different.</li>
            <li>There is so much stuff on this figure that it has been
              shrunk so that the font is 6 pts. This is not legible
              without zooming.</li>
          </ul>
          <li>Misleading<br>
          </li>
          <ul>
            <li>The duplication mentioned above may confuse a reader
              into believing that there is more than one VCM protocol
              that applies to SCCC codes (similarly, for DVB-S2 codes).
              This is the opposite of what this figure should be doing.</li>
            <li>The slicer for DVB is shown within the ETSI standard,
              when it is really part of the CCSDS standard (131.3).</li>
            <li>The boxes labeled "variable coding and modulation"
              contain no coding and no modulation. I think you mean VCM
              control.<br>
            </li>
            <li>The circle-plus notation in the figure is confusing. In
              other CCSDS standards, that notation means XOR, which is
              not what is going on here.</li>
          </ul>
          <li>Incomplete<br>
          </li>
          <ul>
            <li>Few of the salient features of the VCM protocol are
              actually present in the figure. The VCM header is
              transmitted with pi/2-BPSK modulation, for example. The
              pilots are optional. The header has two parts, a sync
              marker and a signaling structure (PLS or frame
              descriptor). The frame descriptor is protected with a
              (32,6) code. All of that is missing.</li>
            <li>The input to the "VCM suite" is not labeled. The
              interfaces are the most important part of showing how
              things fit together.<br>
            </li>
            <li>The output of the "VCM suite" is not labeled. Again,
              that should be the important part.</li>
            <li>No VCM control is shown as an input to the TM codes.</li>
            <li>No VCM control is shown for the pilots.</li>
            <li>No VCM control is shown for the slicer.<br>
            </li>
            <li>Arrows showing direction of flow are missing throughout.</li>
          </ul>
