Define latency and jitter for service flow in a fixed wireless system.

Jitter refers to deviations in displacement of or deviation in the signal pulses in a HF digital signal. Latency refers to the time interval between the response and stimulation or the basic delay between the effect and cause in service flow.

The term Latency and Jitter are contradictory in nature. These two terms are closely related to Communication in the network.

Explanation:

The communication from one system to the other system is sent by any supporting protocol in the form of packets.

So Latency calculates the time that each packet has taken to reach the destination from the source.

Whereas Jitter defines the time delay of a packet to reach the destination. Apart from time delay, it also shows the new route to travel, indicates network congestion, etc.
