How do you find the code rate?


How do you find the code rate? Generally the code rate is just the ratio of information bits over transmitted bits, so an R = 1/2 code transmits two coded bits for every one information bit, and an R = 3/4 code transmits four coded bits for every three information bits.


What is the code rate of a coding scheme?

The error detecting and correcting capabilities of a particular coding scheme is correlated with its code rate and complexity. The code rate is the ratio of data bits to total bits transmitted in the code words. A high code rate means information content is high and coding overhead is low.


What is the error code rate?

An ADC's code error rate (CER), also sometimes called word error rate (WER) or metastability error rate, is defined as the average number of errors per sample and is measured by counting the average number of samples between consecutive errors.
