(March 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) In digital transmission, the number of bit errors is the number of received bits of a data stream over a communication channel that have been altered due to noise, interference, distortion or bit synchronization errors.
Bit Error Rate Calculation
The bit error rate (BER) is the number of bit errors per unit time. The bit bit error rate example error ratio (also BER) is the number of bit errors divided by the total number of transferred bits during a studied time interval. BER is
Bit Error Rate Vs Snr
a unitless performance measure, often expressed as a percentage.[1] The bit error probability pe is the expectation value of the bit error ratio. The bit error ratio can be considered as an approximate estimate of the bit error probability. This bit error rate pdf estimate is accurate for a long time interval and a high number of bit errors.

The BER is 3 incorrect bits divided by 10 transferred bits, resulting in a BER of 0.3 or 30%. Packet error ratio[edit] The packet error ratio (PER) is the number of incorrectly received data packets divided by the total number of received packets. A packet is declared incorrect if at least one bit is erroneous. The expectation value of the PER is denoted packet error probability pp, which for a data packet length of N bits can be expressed as p p = 1 − ( 1 − p e ) N {\displaystyle p_{p}=1-(1-p_{e})^{N}} , assuming that the bit errors are independent of each other. For small bit error probabilities, this is approximately p p ≈ p e N . {\displaystyle p_{p}\approx p_{e}N.} Similar measurements can be carried out for the transmission of frames, blocks, or symbols. Factors affecting the BER[edit] In a communication system, the receiver side BER may be affected by transmission channel noise, interference, distortion, bit synchronization problems, attenuation, wireless multipath fading, etc. The BER may be improved by choosing a strong signal strength (unless this causes cross-talk and more bit errors), by choosing a slow and robust modulation scheme or line coding scheme, and by applying channel coding schemes such as redundant forward error correction codes. The transmission BER is the number of

Acceptable Bit Error Rate
when the sample corresponds to a transmitted '0', where noise is a zero-mean Normal(Gaussian) random variable packet error rate with standard deviation σNOISE. If the transmitter is equally likely to send '0''s or '1''s, and V/2 volts is used as the threshold for
Symbol Error Rate
deciding whether the received bit is a '0' or a '1', give an expression for the bit-error rate (BER) in terms of the zero-mean unit standard deviation Normal cumulative distribution function, Φ, and σNOISE. Here's a plot of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_error_rate PDF for the received signal where the red-shaded areas correspond to the probabilities of receiving a bit in error. so the bit-error rate is given by where we've used the fact that Φ[-x] = 1 - Φ[x], i.e., that the unit-normal Gaussian is symmetrical about the 0 mean. Suppose the transmitter is equally likely to send zeros or ones and uses zero volt samples to represent a '0' and one volt samples to represent a '1'. If the receiver uses http://web.mit.edu/6.02/www/s2011/handouts/tutprobs/noise.html 0.5 volts as the threshold for deciding bit value, for what value of σNOISE is the probability of a bit error approximately equal to 1/5? Note that Φ(0.85) ≈ 4/5. From part (A), BER = Φ[-0.5/σNOISE] = 1 - Φ[0.5/σNOISE] If we want BER = 0.2 then BER = 1/5 = 1 - Φ[0.5/σNOISE] which implies Φ[0.5/σNOISE] = 4/5 Using the conveniently supplied fact that Φ(0.85) ≈ 4/5, we can solve for σNOISE 0.5/σNOISE = 0.85 => σNOISE = 0.5/.85 = .588 Will your answer for σNOISE in part (B) change if the threshold used by the receiver is shifted to 0.6 volts? Do not try to determine σNOISE, but justify your answer. If move Vth higher to 0.6V, we'll be decreasing prob(rcv1|xmit0) and increasing prob(rcv0|xmit1). Considering the shape of the Gaussian PDF, the decrease will be noticeably smaller than the increase, so we'd expect BER to increase for a given σNOISE. Thus to keep BER = 1/5, we'd need to decrease our estimate for σNOISE. Will your answer for σNOISE in part (B) change if the transmitter is twice as likely to send ones as zeros, but the receiver still uses a threshold of 0.5 volts? Do not try to determine σNOISE, but justify your answer. If we change the probabilities of transmission but keep the same digitization threshold, the various parts of the BER equation in (A) are weighted differently (to reflect the different transmission probabil
