[Sls-slp] Making LDPC coding a work item in the C&S WG

[Kazz, Greg J (313B)]

Gian-Paolo,

I would like to request that LDPC coding applied over the Proximity link be made into a Work Item for study in the CCSDS C&S WG and to be included into the agenda for the Spring 2010 meeting.
NASA has submitted it's white paper on LDPC coding over the Proximity link as proposed at the Fall CCSDS meeting at ESTEC and I believe since a month has passed all agencies now have had time to consider the issues explored in the paper. Given the enhanced focus on cooperation between ESA and NASA in the Mars Enterprise for 2016 and 2018 and beyond and the potential benefits LDPC coding provides to these missions, I believe it is prudent for the C&S WG to take on this topic as a new work item. I also believe other agencies  besides NASA and potentially ESA are interested in having CCSDS pursue this as a work item as well.

Best regards,

Greg
