Is there any difference between bit error rate and bit error probability?
Thanks...
 

probability is statistics wherin u calculate the amount of error rate before the actual processing is done.
once implemented the BER may vary depending on the operating and environmental conditions.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a conversion or something between them? I think when it comes to the probability, it is always between 0 and 1, but error rate might drop to 10e-5.
 

BER is the number of errorounous bits/total number of bits

BEP is the probability that a certain bit will be recieved with error

For a large number of transmitted bits(typical assumption),both of them are equal and the 2 terms are usually used interchangebly in the literature but BER is more common
