the aggregate transfer rate of signal elements in a transmission link, expressed in normalized form in binary digits per second
NOTE 1 – The signalling rate is given by
where m is the number of parallel transmission channels, Тi is the shortest theoretical duration of signal element for the i-th channel expressed in seconds, and ni is the number of significant conditions of the modulation in the i-th channel.
NOTE 2 – The symbol of the unit of binary rate is bit/s.
