<p>The Bit Error Rate (BER) is a key parameter of the Quality of Service (QoS) for engineers and designers of digital communication systems and networks. At the present  time, a set of models and methods are exist for calculating the BER. But these methods are complex and require large computing cost.</p><p>In this paper, we provide a new model for calculating the BER. This model simplifies the procedures in the existing models and reduces the computing time. In the same time, the proposed model save the accuracy and the state consideration of existing models.</p>

The digital communication technologies have gained immense significance as it provides secure and error free services. One of the major advantages of digital communication is that they are much resistant to transmitted as well as interpreted errors. For ensuring the security of data, the most suitable method is to use spread spectrum technique. The spread spectrum technique has gained immense popularity for use in various systems as the spreading of the spectral bandwidth offer many advantages, including the establishment of secure communications, increasing resistance to interference, noise rejection, and so on. The signals which are modulated by using these techniques cannot be jammed and are very hard to interfere. This paper presents the results of investigation of BPSK based direct sequence spread spectrum systems for Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and undersea channels. The bit error rate performance of BPSK based direct sequence spread spectrum systems has been simulated for the AWGN channel and the results have been plotted.

In digital communication systems, ARQ and HARQ schemes are employed in order to ensure efficient transmission of information and utilisation of the channel by retransmitting information that has not being received correctly at the receiver. In some applications, however, such as real-time services, the quality of information is degraded if too many retransmission trials are employed for each unit of erroneously received information. The  retransmissions are therefore limited leading to truncated ARQ and HARQ schemes. In this study we develop a new method for deriving the  expressions for the throughput efficiencies of truncated ARQ and HARQ schemes and investigate how the efficiencies vary with the number of allowed retransmissions. Keywords: ARQ, HARQ, Throughput Efficiency, Truncated ARQ.

Digital communication systems distort their signals as a consequence of the digitization process. The distortions are related to the code length and sampling frequency of the system. The present study assessed viewers' responses to these variables by using simulated digital television. To do this, 24 subjects rated the quality of pictures distorted by several combinations of the variables. A response surface generated from the ratings showed that the ratings were affected by both variables, but most profoundly by code length. Interpretation of the surface's contours from the perspective of system costs revealed that costs should be considered solely from the standpoint of code length.
