The Residual bit error rate (RBER) is a receive quality indicator in digital transmission.

In digital transmission schemes, including cellular telephony systems such as GSM, a certain percentage of received data will be detected as containing errors, and will be discarded. The likelihood that a particular bit will be detected as erroneous is the Bit error rate.

The RBER characterizes the likelihood that a given bit will be erroneous but will not be detected as such[1]
