Loss of Signal Seconds (LOSS) Loss of signal seconds are seconds during which
the SDSL cell line is incapable of transmitting or
receiving data and all data is lost.
Loss of Cell Delineation (LOCD) Loss of cell delineation seconds are seconds in
which some cells transmitted during that second
were lost.
Severe Loss of Cell Deli neation (SLOCD) Severe loss of cell delineation seconds are seconds
in which the total number of LOCD events in that
second exceed 50% of the total bandwidth available
during that second. During a severe loss of cell
delineation second most of the cells transmitted
during that second are lost.
SNR SNR margin is a measure of signal quality
indicating how much margin can be dropped before
the number of bit errors exceeds the ratio of 1x10-7
errored bits per bits transmitted.
