In order to calculate the data transmission rate, one must multiply the transfer rate by the information channel width. For example, a data bus eight-bytes wide (64 bits) by definition transfers eight bytes in each transfer operation; at a transfer rate of 1 GT/s, the data rate would be 8 × 10 9 B/s, i.e. 8 GB/s, or approximately 7.45 GiB/s
Transmission rates are defined by rate of the bitstream of the digital signal and are designated by hyphenation of the acronym OC and an integer value of the multiple of the basic unit of rate, e.g., OC-48. The base unit is 51.84 Mbit/s. [2]
The physical layer net bitrate, [12] information rate, [6] useful bit rate, [13] payload rate, [14] net data transfer rate, [9] coded transmission rate, [7] effective data rate [7] or wire speed (informal language) of a digital communication channel is the capacity excluding the physical layer protocol overhead, for example time division ...
Symbol rate or baud rate, the number of symbol changes, waveform changes, or signaling events across the transmission medium per unit of time; Data-rate units, measures of the bit rate or baud rate of a link; Data transfer rate (disk drive), a data rate specific to disk drive operations
While the gross data rate equals 33.3 million 4-bit-transfers per second (or 16.67 MB/s), the fastest transfer, firmware read, results in 15.63 MB/s. The next fastest bus cycle, 32-bit ISA-style DMA write, yields only 6.67 MB/s .
For example, in a 64QAM modem, M = 64, and so the bit rate is N = log 2 (64) = 6 times the baud rate. In a line code, these may be M different voltage levels. The ratio is not necessarily an integer; in 4B3T coding, the bit rate is 4 / 3 of the baud rate. (A typical basic rate interface with a 160 kbit/s raw data rate operates at 120 kBd.)
The difference between baud (or signaling rate) and the data rate (or bit rate) is like a man using a single semaphore flag who can move his arm to a new position once each second, so his signaling rate (baud) is one symbol per second. The flag can be held in one of eight distinct positions: Straight up, 45° left, 90° left, 135° left ...
