Aggregate Data Rate

The aggregate data rate equals the following:
User Data Rate + In-Band Rate + Synchronizing Overhead Rate
Because SCC must adjust the overhead so that there are an equal number of user data bits in
each slot, the synchronizing overhead cannot be easily calculated. However, dividing the In-Band
Rate by the Control Ratio can approximate it. The following equation shows the basic calculation
of this rate:
Aggregate Date Rate = User Data Rate + In-Band Rate + (In-Band Rate/Control Ratio)
User Data
As an example, given the following parameters:
User Data Rate:
In-Band Rate:
Control Ratio:
Aggregate data rate = 1,024,000 + 19,200 + (19,200/7) or approximately 1,045,942 (actually
1045974).
This gives an overhead ratio of 1,045,974/1,024,000 = 1.021
In addition, another constraint changes the actual Aggregate Data Rate. The user data slot size
is limited to 2,500 bits. Because of this, the modem increases the in-band rate to reduce the user
data slot size. This only happens at higher user data rates.
IMPORTANT
The maximum In-Band Rate is 115200. The Async Interface Rate must be equal to or
greater than 115200.
