3.19.3 Overhead Rate Comparison
The SCC Overhead Ratio varies depending on the User Data Rate, the In-Band Rate, and the
Control Ratio. This gives SCC the advantage of lower overhead rates when compared to IBS,
which has a fixed overhead ratio of 16/15 or 1.067. The following table gives some example
overhead rates for different user data and control ratios.
