C. GLOSSARY

● Delay: is the time required for data to travel from the sender to the receiver.
Network latency is different from network speed or bandwidth or throughput,
which is the amount of data that can be transferred per unit time. A network
can be both high speed and high latency.

● Downlink: Edge terminals or nodes receive data from the network core or
from higher-level network nodes such as routers and servers, and is
commonly known as downloading. Therefore, the downloading of images and
videos is done through the downlink process.

● Error bit: is a measure of the number of bit errors that occur in a given number
of bit transmissions. It is usually expressed as a ratio. BER is a measure of
the quality of the transmitting device, the receiver, the transmission path and
its environment as it takes into consideration factors such as noise, jitter,
attenuation, fading, and any error detection and correction schemes used in
the interface standard.

● Interoperation: The use of interoperable systems, units, or forces. reciprocal

operation.

● Jitters: is also technically called packet delay variation. This refers to the
variation in the delay time in milliseconds (ms) between data packets through
a network. This is typically an interruption in the normal sequence of sending
data packets. It also means that there is a fluctuation in the delay as packets
are transferred through a network.

● Metrics: A metric is a variable among the critical attributes of the route of a

packet within a computer network. It has an unsigned value, so it can never
be negative. Metrics are calculated for multiple routes to determine the best
route. The route having the best metrics is usually the easiest and fastest
path for delivering the packet.

● Throughput: is the term used to refer to the quantity of data being sent that a
system can process within a specific time period. Throughput is a good way to
measure the performance of the network connection because it tells you how
many messages are arriving at their destination successfully. If the majority of
messages are delivered successfully then throughput will be considered high.
In contrast, a low rate of successful delivery will result in lower throughput.

● Topology: is the layout of the connections (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer

network. is the topological structure of a network and may be depicted
physically or logically. Network topology can be used to define or describe the
arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including
command and control radio networks, industrial fieldbusses and computer
networks.

● Uplink: Nodes or edge terminals create uplink connections to send data

towards the network core. This is also known as an upstream connection, or
simply uploading. Downloading is the inverse.
