Bit Error Rate: The number of incorrect bits transmitted in a message, usually expressed as a ratio or percentage. It measures the reliability of communication systems, with a lower bit error rate indicating higher reliability. For example, a bit error rate of 10^-6 means that, on average, one bit error occurs for every one million bits transmitted.
