  2. Bit-length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit-length

    The term bit length is technical shorthand for this measure. For example, computer processors are often designed to process data grouped into words of a given length of bits (8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit, etc.). The bit length of each word defines, for one thing, how many memory locations can be independently addressed by the processor.

  3. Unit interval (data transmission) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_interval_(data...

    When UI is used as a measurement unit of a time interval, the resulting measure of such time interval is dimensionless. It expresses the time interval in terms of UI. Very often, but not always, the UI coincides with the bit time, i.e. with the time interval taken to transmit one bit (binary information digit).

  4. Data signaling rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_signaling_rate

    The maximum user signaling rate, synonymous to gross bit rate or data signaling rate, is the maximum rate, in bits per second, at which binary information can be transferred in a given direction between users over the communications system facilities dedicated to a particular information transfer transaction, under conditions of continuous transmission and no overhead information.

  5. Units of information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

    For communication throughput, a base unit of bit is common. For example, using the metric kilo prefix, a kilobyte is 1000 bytes and a kilobit is 1000 bits. Use of metric prefixes is common, but often inaccurate since binary storage hardware is organized with capacity that is a power of 2 – not 10 as the metric prefixes are.

  6. Transmission time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_time

    In the case of a digital message, it is the time from the first bit until the last bit of a message has left the transmitting node. The packet transmission time in seconds can be obtained from the packet size in bit and the bit rate in bit/s as: Packet transmission time = Packet size / Bit rate

  7. Canonical Huffman code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_Huffman_code

    The bit lengths stay the same with the code book being sorted first by codeword length and secondly by alphabetical value of the letter: B = 0 A = 11 C = 101 D = 100 Each of the existing codes are replaced with a new one of the same length, using the following algorithm:

  8. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    If parity is specified and we use 2 stop bits, the overhead for carrying one 8 bit character is 4 bits (one start bit, one parity bit and two stop bits) - or 50%! In this case a 9600 bit/s connection will carry 9600/12 byte/s (800 byte/s). Asynchronous serial interfaces commonly will support bit transmission speeds of up to 230.4 kbit/s. If it ...

  9. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital...

    As with elliptic-curve cryptography in general, the bit size of the private key believed to be needed for ECDSA is about twice the size of the security level, in bits. [1] For example, at a security level of 80 bits—meaning an attacker requires a maximum of about 2 80 {\displaystyle 2^{80}} operations to find the private key—the size of an ...
