Bit-error rate in fixed line-rate systems

摘要

A method of reducing bit-error rate is described. The method includes transmitting a data stream of data words at a line rate that is adjustable and equal to a positive delta value added to an established data rate. The method includes accumulating available time slots in the transmitted data stream, and selectively retransmitting a subset of the data words such that the retransmitted data words occupy no more than the accumulated available time slots.
