Logarithmic bit-significance ratio: Definition, calculation rules and examples
We motivate and discuss the Logarithmic Bit- Significance Ratio (S-value) which is a universal measure to quantify the significance of each bit in a digital communication system. Calculation rules for the S-values are given which, for instance, allow for the computation of the significances of parity bits when the significances of the data bits are given. The introduction of the S-value allows for
