Jia, if you assume that: 1. The geometry of each line is identical 2. The noise does not violate the CM range of the receiver, 3. The CM rejection of the receiver is perfect Then you will not see any effects whatsoever. Put in more realistic models for each point above and you will find: 1. Differential noise injection 2. Very bad if this happens, don't let it! 3. Increased jitter For these reasons, it is a poor idea to reference high performance links against multiple voltage rails. It doesn't mean that you cannot do it successfully, but it does mean that you have a lot of additional homework to do, and may not be able to meet a given performance target.
