I am studying computer networks. There is a concept called as bit error. It is the number of error bits received. How can the bit error rate measurement be done using this information?
How To Do Bit Error Rate Measurement In Networking?
The Bit Error Rate is defined as the number of bit errors per second. Bit error is mostly expressed in percentage or a ratio. While stating Bit Error Rate the probability of error is also taken into account. Generally, a packet transmission time is taken into account and all the bit errors during this time are calculated.
Factors affecting BER
- Noise
- Interference
- Distortion
- Attenuation
- Bit synchronization
- Multipath fading
