Carrier Frequency Carrier Frequency is the central frequency of a radio signal used as the basis for modulation and transmission. It places the signal in spectrum. Concept/Framework Carrier Network A carrier network is a telecommunications network operated by a service provider to deliver customer traffic across wide-area infrastructure. Concept/Framework Carrier To Noise Ratio Carrier To Noise Ratio is the ratio of received carrier power to background noise power in a communication link. It indicates how clearly the carrier stands above noise. Concept/Framework Carrier-to-Interference Ratio Carrier-to-interference ratio is the ratio between the received carrier power and the aggregate interfering power that shares the same or adjacent channel resources. Concept/Framework Channelization Channelization is the division of spectrum, bandwidth, or transmission resources into separate channels for communication or control. It creates distinct paths or segments for different traffic. Operations Checksum Checksum is a calculated value used to verify the integrity of data by detecting whether it has changed or been corrupted. It is a basic error-detection mechanism. Software CIDR Notation CIDR Notation is a compact way to represent IP address prefixes and network masks using a slash and prefix length. It describes the size of a network range. Protocol Circuit Switching Circuit Switching is a communication method that establishes a dedicated path between endpoints for the duration of a session. It reserves resources for that connection. Protocol Coding Rate Coding Rate is the ratio of useful data bits to total transmitted bits in an encoded communication system. Protocol Coherent Optics A modulation and detection technique that encodes data across both the amplitude and phase of an optical signal and uses a local reference laser at the receiver to precisely detect… Concept/Framework
