[SLS-CC] VCM technical corrigendum wording (AI_21_01)

Wed Jul 7 16:22:42 UTC 2021

Dear all,
 I did not receive any comment about the VCM BB from the WG.

However, considering the outcome of the DVB-S2 BB review we had today, I 
have myself a comment. 
We aligned the SCCC and DVB-S2 BBs for having a sentence that  states the 
need to consider CCSDS 401 BB.
On the same line, I would propose to modify Section 2 as provided below 
(italic part highlights the addition).

You can find in attachment also the word file in tracking-changes mode for 
your convenience.

Please let me know if there is any objection, or additional point to 
consider, no later than 12th July EOB.
I will afterward request an Area Resolution for having the technical 
corrigendum.

Kind Regards,
Andrea

This Recommended Standard covers functions in both the Synchronization and 
Channel Coding Sublayer and the Physical Layer, the latter for what 
concerns the modulation schemes. CCSDS 401.0-B [5] covers additional 
features of the Physical Layer like frequency bands, polarizations, etc. 
that are not described or referenced here.

Andrea, Enrico,
Attached is a draft VCM technical corrigendum in response to AI_21_01 from 
the C&S WG. I completed this in consultation with Ken Andrews and John 
Pietras.
The main changes are in two places: Section 3.2.3 and Section 3.3.2.3 to 
3.3.2.4. In summary, with the new wording the randomization is determined 
by VCM type:
Type 1 (SCCC-like) VCM will randomize the Transfer Frames as the SCCC 
standard does, using the TM randomizer.
Type 2 (DVB-S2-like) VCM will randomize the sliced encoder-inputs as the 
DVB-S2 standard does, using the ETSI DVB-S2 baseband scrambler.
This will make the CCSDS VCM standard consistent with the 131.2-B-1 and 
131.3-B-1 books (SCCC and DVB-S2), with respect to randomization.
These changes are not related to randomization that occurs after encoding. 
The VCM protocol standard already applies post-encoding randomization, at 
the physical layer.
Can you forward this message to the RFM and C&S mailing lists along with 
your guidance on how/when to respond with comments? I believe we agreed to 
resolve this action by email.
