Burst transmission

Burst transmission

In telecommunication, the term burst transmission has the following meanings:
# Any relatively high-bandwidth transmission over a short period of time. For example, a download might use 2 Mbit/s on average, whilst have "peaks" bursting up to, say, 2.4 Mbit/s.
# transmission that combines a very high data signaling rate with very short transmission times - i.e., the message is compressed. This is popular with the military and spies, who wish to minimise the chance of their radio transmissions being detected. Low probability of intercept (LPI) and Low probability of recognition (LPR).
# Operation of a data network in which data transmission is interrupted at intervals.

"Note:" Burst transmission enables communications between data terminal equipment (DTEs) and a data network operating at dissimilar data signaling rates. "Synonym" data burst.
