Discrete Geometry
Bit error rate (BER) is the ratio of the number of bit errors to the total number of transferred bits during a specific time interval. It provides a measure of the reliability and quality of a data transmission system, allowing for the evaluation of how many bits are incorrectly received compared to the total sent. This term is crucial in assessing the performance of geometric codes, which are designed to improve data transmission by minimizing errors and ensuring accurate information delivery.
