Abstract
A communication system is provided which includes a first communication device for transmitting a plurality of packets in different packet sizes, and a second communication device having a reception unit for receiving over one or more links packets transmitted from the first communication device, and a calculation unit for calculating a packet loss rate for each packet size based on reception result of the reception unit. The communication system estimates a bit error rate during link transmission of the packets from a difference of the packet sizes of the packets transmitted from the first communication device as well as from the packet loss rate for each packet size calculated by the calculation unit.
Claims8
A communication system comprising:
- a first communication device for transmitting a plurality of packets in different packet sizes;
- and
- a second communication device having
- a reception unit for receiving over one or more links packets transmitted from the first communication device, and
- a calculation unit for calculating a packet loss rate for each packet size based on reception result of the reception unit,
- wherein
- a bit error rate during link transmission of the packets is estimated from a difference of the packet sizes of the packets transmitted from the first communication device as well as from the packet loss rate for each packet size calculated by the calculation unit.
A communication method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting, by a first communication device, a plurality of packets in different packet sizes;
- receiving, over one or more links by a second communication device, packets transmitted from the first communication device;
- calculating a packet loss rate for each packet size based on reception result of the packets;
- and
- estimating a bit error rate during link transmission of the packets from a difference of the packet sizes of the packets transmitted from the first communication device as well as from the packet loss rate for each packet size.
A communication device comprising:
- a reception unit for receiving over one or more links a plurality of packets transmitted in different packet sizes;
- a calculation unit for calculating a packet loss rate for each packet size based on reception result of the reception unit;
- and
- an estimation unit for estimating a bit error rate during link transmission of the packets from a difference of the packet sizes of the packets received by the reception unit as well as from the packet loss rate for each packet size calculated by the calculation unit.
A program for causing a computer to function as:
- a reception unit for receiving over one or more links a plurality of packets transmitted in different packet sizes;
- a calculation unit for calculating a packet loss rate for each packet size based on reception result of the reception unit;
- and
- an estimation unit for estimating a bit error rate during link transmission of the packets from a difference of the packet sizes of the packets received by the reception unit as well as from the packet loss rate for each packet size calculated by the calculation unit.
