Hi,
please I want to know what is the difference between the Frame error rate(FER) and the symbole error rate(SER) ,if there is an exemple it is better.
then how we get the FER from the SER because I have a matlab code which calculate the SER and I don't know how can I calculate the FER from that.
thanks
thanks for the response,
In fact I don't mean the difference in meaning ,I want the difference in use ,when we use one and when we use the other one?.In other way the equations of each one how I get the FER if I have the SER
For N-symbol frame, a frame will be in error if at least one symbol is in error. So, a frame will be in error if 1 symbol is, or 2 symbols, 3, 4, ..., or N symbols are in error. So, you can get FER from SER by summing up all possible symbol error combinations in the frame.
