II --introductionintroduction
� The quality of a radio link relies on the transmission success probability � reliability– Transmission errors depend on SNR, interference,…
– Packet error rate (PER) depends on bit error rate (BER) and packet size, coding, …
– The instantaneous BER depends on the instantaneous SNR
– Time-varying properties of transmission errors (due to fading, shadowing, …) impact the resulting mean error rate
